School - final part

9/16/06 - we were last in the atrium of the achool...otherwise known as the front entrance...here is a shot of the famous slide of the school...i have been down it a few tmes so far and am still planning on using it for when we start studying physics...could be fun...

the next shots are taken from the central park region of the school and are outside views of the other buildings...the first is the early childhood wing...the weirdest part of this section is that the playground is covered in gravel...isn't that strange...there have been some throwing incidents and some injuries...its just a romanian thing i guess...i think its a bit bizarre...

the next building is the elementary school...it houses grades k-5...and then the 6th graders are in middle school...the elementary school is big this year, with almost four sections of every grade...us secondary teachers hardly ever see the elementary teachers around campus as they, as well as we, are so very busy...i like the faculty of the elementary and make it a point to hang with the cool folks when i can....it just takes some effort...which i have been nicknamed "julie mccoy" for...gotta love that...i always seem to end up as the social director....hahahahahaha

this final set of buildings is the secondary school gym....its a great facility for sports here...one of the best in bucharest...and the gym and weight room and cardio room are no exception...i am hoping to get over to use them in the coming months...we'll see what happens...i have been taking yoga in the dance studio with one of the other teachers...and that has been great when i have made it :)

i think this is a good view of the school overall...the next installment of the blog should be about a trip i took to a glass factory about 1 hour north of bucharest - ploiesti (pronounced ploy-escht)and a weekend trip i took to a place about three hours from bucharest - sinaia (pronounced si-ny-ya)...until then...have a good one...
