Main Elementary

The plan for our trip is that we are in the classrooms during the day and then we have class with the principal after school. We each have two different classrooms that we work in. I have a second grade class and a third grade class. I am switching off mornings and afternoons. The children in my classes are adorable. Most of them are Filipino. We are not allowed to take pictures of the children due to confidentiality concerns, but let me assure you that they are precious! Most of the classes only have 1-3 Caucasian children in them. One of the white boys in my third grade class is from Russia and he loves to talk! We also are going to help with the after-school program today and next Tuesday. The after-school program targets students who did not pass the state assessment or just barely passed. The students get help with homework and get to do all kinds of cool educational activities like going to museums and riding horses.
