Photos of the School # 2

In this blog #2, you will see pictures of the classrooms.



Here are the Pre-school and Kindergarten rooms. They call it Kinder 1, Kinder 2 and Kinder 3--i.e. 3 year olds, 4 year olds and 5 year olds. The 5 year olds are the kindergarten class. Notice the high fences around the classrooms. The preschool/kindergarten area is enclosed and the elementary area is enclosed with the high fences.

These are the 1st grade classrooms. They face the elementary area playground. A couple of basketball hoops, a couple of hopscotch patterns painted on the ground and that is it for the playground.

I like to call this the "2nd grade hallway"! There are five 2nd grade classrooms and they all face this area. I think our area is the prettiest in the school.

When I teach my 2 small group classes in the afternoon, I have a table and chair and sit out here. Yes, it is VERY hot!! And there are a lot of bees because the (uncovered) garbage can is in this area too. I bought a can of Raid and spray it around!!

And this is my classroom! The signs in the window say "2 E English and Spanish" and the other is the list of students and the schedule. My students stay in this classroom all day. I teach English to them in the morning and after recess the Spanish teacher comes in and teaches her subjects in Spanish.

In the other four 2nd grade classrooms, the teacher stays in the classroom and the students change rooms. Those classes are called 2 A-2 B and 2 C-2 D. For example, you see the door next to mine? That is the English teacher who teaches the 2 C group. The room next to hers is the Spanish teacher who teaches the 2 D group. After recess, the students change rooms and the English kids go to the Spanish room and the Spanish kids go to the English room.

These are the 3rd and 4th grade classrooms. These rooms were built during the school break in July and August and finished the weekend before school started on Monday, August 20th! They are opposite the first grade classrooms overlooking the elementary playground.

Next are the middle school, high school and sports areas.

Hasta luego.
