  September may mean fall and back to school time for you, but in Southern Latin America, it

  is Spring!  Students there have been in school since March.  Their school year will end in

  December.

 

  In Puerto Rico, school starts in August, rather than in September.  It's warm all year long

  in the Caribbean, so there's not much difference between summer and fall.

 

 

  Cuadernos (notebooks) get a lot of use in Latin American classrooms.  Students copy their 

  daily lessons in them, do exercises in them, and even do their homework in them!
