School Opens for Slave Children

There will be a new school for slave children. Many children were asked if they wanted to go. Our daily news talked to many children. This is what they said…

If I were starting school day as a slave…I think it would be a bad place to go to. And I think I would not learn anything. I would try to learn about something. And I would run away.

If I was starting school as a slave, I think I would learn how to read and write. I would learn how to count and do math. I could teach my family to read.

I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do. I don't know anybody. Learn the directions. Learn how to spell words. I think I would have fun.
