we went to Boulevard Elementary School, last week. It was a great and completely new experience for me to. I really liked the idea of the open classrooms and how does that create a healthy a environment for the students and make them enjoy their time in the school. I have not seen any school like this before and I think it is a really cool idea. Also, I noticed how the walls were full of posters of numbers and alphabets.

First, we went to a kindergarten classroom, and the classroom was colorful and there were posters everywhere. What I really liked about this classroom how all the kids were involved with the teacher , how they were all singing with the teacher, and how they were very excited with the teacher. Even though the classroom was open classroom but I liked how the all kids were paying attention to their teacher and they did not get distracted I feel like if they all just got used to the open classrooms and how they can just focus with their teacher without getting distracted with the noise that is coming from outside the classroom. The teacher's way was really interesting because how she can keep all the students excited and focusing with her , and they were full of energy to sing  the alphabet song with the teacher.

We went to a 4rd grade classroom and they had a history class, the teacher divide the class into groups and each student had a laptop and they used a website for this class where they can watch videos and do their assignments there. I think it is a really important for students to have access to the internet especially if it is a History class so they can watch videos related to the topic they have and that will help them more to remember these historical events. There was one thing I did not like or maybe I did not understand, because there was a kid with wheelchair and he was sitting by himself and I just did not like the fact how he was sitting by himself and he was not involved with the other students.

Then we went to a 3rd classroom, this classroom was full of posters just like the other classrooms. There was a group of four girls were reading a book with the teacher. Also, there was another group of boys and they were reading by themselves. I think, maybe they were waiting for their turn to read with their teacher.

last class we went to was a Second grade classroom. The students were sitting on the floor and their teacher was reading a story about valentines day. The classroom was full of posters just like the rest of the classrooms we went to and was colorful. After they finished the story the teacher put them in groups and they had to do some activities as a group.
