Climbing Guayaba Trees and Slurping Flowers (by Charlie, Age 8)
By...Charlie
At school they let you go wherever you want. They have fields, trees, cotton plants, and boulders. It‘s so fun!
This is one of the courtyards at school. There are a few of them and then there are a bunch of fields, too.
At recess I climb Guayaba and mango trees! The mangos are green in the rainy season. Sometimes they are red and orange and sometime yellow.
This is a guayaba (guava) tree like the ones at school.
If you want a fruit snack during big recess (that’s the longer recess after lunch) just climb a tree, pick one and wash it at an outside faucet.
There are also big red flowers that you pick. You take off the stem and suck a honey liquid out of them.
Sleeping hibiscus flowers (yum!...except when they have bugs in the them).
It’s pretty cool to have to have fruit trees and flowers at school (that rhymes!)
