Bahamian School!


We spent a week in Black Point. I went to school for a day.

In Black Point, Exumas, there is a little village road that my sister and I rode our scooters on. In school I studied Bahamian cultures, superstitions (like never point your finger at a grave or it will rot), earth's natural resources and we wrote letters. We also studied regrouping in math. There is one class room with boards separating it into two rooms. There was a preschool and grades 1-3 on one side and older kids on the other. Everyone dressed in green uniforms and there was an old trampoline.

There were lots of tanks of fresh water that is made by reverse osmosis, just like Lyra's water. The villagers are very kind to share their water and other resources with cruising boats. There were some nice men that played ball with the children. All of the adults are nice and someone is always watching out for the kids when we were playing outside.
