Solomon’s school was very different from his previous school. Most of the kids at his old
school looked like his daddy but at his new school, everybody looked different. Every dressed
different and some even spoke different. Even the teachers were all different but all nice.
Solomon’s teacher name was Mr. Albert and he was a tall man with long black hair in a bun
usually. He looked like a football player but softer; if that makes sense. The school lesson itself
was even different. In class, instead of a morning warm up assignment, the students had
meditation time where everybody was quiet, and the lights were turned down low. We were
asked “What do we want to achieve today?” and then given time to think about it. There was a
class where they talked about food and where it came from and how it effects the body. It
sounded a lot like his mom’s job as a dietitian. Solomon thought it would be cool to be a dietitian
when he grew up. During recess, kids played Red Rover where the teams had to work together to
keep the other team member from breaking their chain. It was fun and Solomon made a lot of
new friends on both teams. Most of the games played were always about working together as a
team or working with a friend. Solomon enjoyed his new school and making new friends. He
even picked up new words from in a different language. He learned, Hola, Adios and amigo from
Christian and Christopher and Mr. Albert. Everyday Solomon came home with a new story for
his parents. He didn’t even receive homework assignments. His homework was to use the lessons
of the day in everyday life. Solomon loved his new school and couldn’t wait to walk to it every
morning with his new friends.
