GOINGBACK TO SCHOOL

It’s September again-time to go back to school. What happens when kids go back to school in America?

Jason Ronald goes to Amundsen High School in Chicago. He talks about the first days of school.

   I love the long summer vacation and I never want to go back to school when it finishes. I have to be at school by 9.00 am on the first day, but I always leave my house late and I have to run. When I arrive at school, the security guards tell me where I have to go. They are always unfriendly. I look for my friends and we go to our classroom. We get information about our new classes and the teacher gives us our schedules. Then we have to find our classes and meet our teachers.

   The first days of school are like a big party because everyone sees their friends again. I usually like these days the best.
