MY CLASSROOM PHOTOS - BEFORE & AFTER

Dring May and June, I was able to do some relief work at the French International School. I was very busy. I had to wake up at 5:30 in the morning and leave for school at 6:45 to be there for 7:00. The children started arriving at 7:30 and school started at 8:00. They had a half hour break at 9:00 and another one at 11:00. Their day ended at 12:45.  Then, I had to take a "Soutene" class ( that is French for "support" - learning support) from 1-1:30, three days a week. I often did not get home for lunch until 2-2:30! Here are some photos of my classroom. It was very different to those in Australia!
Me and Brigette, my assistant. She is from Cameroon.
Moving in!
Organising everything

First week back and the children's beautiful work is on display!
Teaching in English.
Learning about seeds, gardens and life cycles.
Creating a more efficient and safe painting area.

I made a HOME CORNER for them complete with little curtains. All
of the other teachers came to see and marvel at it! The children loved it!
Our mat area for teaching, learning and playing.
My BOOK CORNER. Again, the teachers came to look!

I think I did a good job in making our room colourful, inviting,  exciting and safe!
What do you think?

PS I had to buy a lot of my own resources. So what else is new?
