        My office.  There are five subs all with masters degrees who have desks in this room.

                                      Katie is from Minnesota and Josef is from Denver.

                                                        The performing arts center.

                                  Pre-K classroom. Has a huge playroom next door.

                                                             Raquet ball anyone?

 This is the daily salad bar. Lettuce, tuna fish, veggies, tofu, nuts, seeds and sweet potatoes.
 It's my choice for $2.50.  There is also a full Western menu daily that features your typical meal with meat, potatoes, pasta, veg, bread and dessert.  It's not always gonna taste like home, but pretty close!

 This is what a 9th grade science classroom looks like.  Small groups using serious microscopes, taking photos with their cameras and entering data on their computers. It's cool to watch them learn.

                              Sky bridge and outdoor area for studying or choir concerts.

 These are the students in the second grade Spanish class. They have a choice of four languages and most already speak two or three.

 

                                       Professional development room and conference room.

                                             Staff rooms have eating/lounging areas and supplies.

                                                                More supply rooms.

 When students take quizzes they put barriers up on desks for privacy. Because they test so often,                   there is a rule on how many tests teachers are allowed to administer on each weekday.
           The majority of students attend classes after school into the evening and on weekends.
                                                           Many also have private tutors.

 Yes! Bathrooms for teachers only on every floor! Actually all the restrooms are cleaned around the clock, so it's not even necessary.

View from the outside BB court.  The spherical silver building is called Job World. It offers kids ages 4-11 glimpses at careers in many fields with hands-on learning. It is amazing.  They actually cook,  perform live broadcasts even have a simulated spaceship! It's a day-long field trip for all students in the area.
