Elementary Schools Dont example essay topic

Boundary Street Elementary School When I got to the school, the first thing I did was check into the office. There I met the school secretary, who was very nice and willing to help me in any way she could. I was allowed to move about the school freely, while wearing a visitors badge or pass. I felt very comfortable walking around the school, as it was a very inviting atmosphere. The corridors were decorated with the students different artworks and projects. I really think that is a great idea because it gives the students a sense of pride in their work.

It also makes the students feel good when teachers think enough of it to put it up for display. The classrooms were fairly large and decorated. The classrooms appeared to be well lit and the desks seemed to be, for the most part, appropriate size for the students. The teachers all seemed to be up in front of the classrooms teaching, although some students were doing worksheets and other activities while the teacher walked around and observed their progress. The different facilities, such as the restores, of the school seemed to b clean and accessible. The one thing I found very strange about this school, was that it did not have a gymnasium.

Many elementary schools dont. Overall the students (Kindergarten-Third Grade) seemed to be very well behaved. There are about five hundred students and the racial break down in the school was about two-thirds being Afro-American, and one-third Caucasian. The number of teachers seemed to be appropriate to number of students. The teacher student ratio didnt seem to be too overwhelming for the teacher. The library was fairly roomy, seemed to be organized, and was well lit.

There were about as many books as I would have expected. One thing I found very appealing was that there are many computer in the library, a computer lab, and a computer in every classroom. I thought this was great because young people today need to know how to use a computer because they will definitely play a large role in the future of this country and world. There was also a T.V. n every classroom. I would definitely say this school was on top of todays technologies. The lunchroom was quite large and seemed to be clean.

Due to lack of space in the school there are portable homes or classrooms, in this case behind the school. Although portable classrooms may not be the most appealing to the site I dont think they affect the education a child receives. Throughout my elementary education I had classes in portables and I believe I received a pretty good education. Overall, I was fairly impressed with boundary Street Elementary. Although the building is old, it seems to create a wonderful atmosphere where anyone should feel comfortable. The school is up to date with technology, has a friendly staff, and has a very creative atmosphere.
