Frankie's school hours is actually 8am to 4pm, which is still quite long, comparing to the Canadian school hours. After 4pm, kids are allowed to stay in class to do homework or study, up until 7pm under a teacher's care. This is very welcomed by many working parents as they don't need to rush to pick up their kids. I usually pick Frankie up around 5pm when she usually finishes her homework.
This past weekend, the school had an outing at a local farm, and kids could catch some type of mud eels in the pond......
But her favorite spot is still the beach, which is 10 minutes from our house......We had a tsunami warning after the Japanese earthquake, and folks were nervous after watching the devastation in Japan. Thank God it never reached our shores here.
