First class' presentation
From
our classroom, we can see the opposite class!
Here
is the view we have looking out the classroom window. There
is a
movie theater. We also see a florist's shop.
This
corner of our class is dedicated to library. The pupils can read
books, documents or just look at the pictures.
This
is the birthday cake. We voted to celebrate the birthdays of all
pupils in the classroom.
In
the classroom, there are very beautiful plants, some with white
dots. They should be watered whenever they are dry.
We
see colors, we have pencils we used for drawing and coloring.
This
is the playground that we see when we look out the window.
This
poster is very funny, it teaches us to count cows. But instead
of
counting cows, you count the 'moo'.
Here
is the schoolbag that the pupils prepare every day before
going
home. This is the poster that helps us to fulfill it.
It's
a schoolbag. We put our school material inside in order to take
notebooks and make school assignement at home.
In
the hallway, there are hangers on which we put our jacket/coat.
