smooth on younger trees, and it becomes ridged and
furrowed with age. Leaves are opposite and shallowly
to deeply palmately lobed, with a few blunt teeth but
no serrations. The leaf sinuses are rounded, unlike
those of red maple (Acer rubrum) which are sharply
V-shaped. Also, the sides of terminal leaf lobes are
more or less parallel, while those of red maple are
widest at the base, tapering to the tip.

however, they can usually be classified as either public,
private religious, private non religious, or alternative. Public
schools are funded by the state, and the majority of students
in the United States attend them. Private religious schools
are based around a particular faith, such as Catholicism,
Judaism, and so forth. The religion is part of the every day
lives of the students and they also learn about the faiths. All
types of private schools do not receive state funding.
Therefore, private non religious schools are simply just that:
schools which do not receive state funding and have the
ability to make their own rules. Alternative schools can be
made up of a variety of different categories, such as the
Montessori program or technical schools. Most students who
attend class in an actual school building go to one of these
types of institutions.

transitional words
such as: various types

time, I checked outside, and
it was my lost cat.

the day the salty summer
breeze last time I went to the

boulders of rock . It’s also
refreshing to dive in the blue
sea.
