8 COLEGIO DE LA PLAYA Mi colegio se llama el colegio de la playa. Mi colegio está al lado del mar en Honolulu en la isla de Hawái. Hay clase los lunes, martes y los jueves. El horario: de las once de la mañana a las tres de la tarde. Hay un recreo de la una de la tarde a las dos de la tarde. Hay tres meses de vacaciones en verano. En mi colegio, hay 5 asignaturas: matemáticas, inglés, español, Historia/Geografía e Informática. ¡¡¡En mi colegio, no hay notas y no hay exámenes!!! Hay 6 clases de 20 alumnos en mi colegio. Los alumnos no llevan uniformes y se permite utilizar sus móviles en el colegio. Los profesores son muy bonitos y no castigan los alumnos. Empiezan la clase con un repaso del día anterior.
