Day 3 Baird Journal | Introduction to Exchange

Welcome to Baird Middle School!	The Chinese students already socialize with the other kids.
In this warm climate, much of the school is outside.	So much to say, and so little time!
The day started with an introduction to the school in the library.	This student says that in Beijing, the schools are tall and large buildings, which is quite different to Baird.
The school superintendent welcomed the group.	She was impressed by the students' English.
The students were introduced to the Pledge of Allegience.	Baird has a recycling program for household items and clothes.
Teacher Ms. Li Li decided to join in this class!	The first classroom stop was Tom Snyder's class.
Mr. Snyder makes use of every inch of his classroom. This display is on his ceiling.	The students and visitors had the opportunity to ask each other questions.
Mr. Snyder's classroom also has surfboards -- another contrast to Beijing.	Peng was not used to having desks in a group -- they are always in rows in Beijing.
This class was taking test, but they set out their China project to show their guests.
Linda Boaen teaches 8th grade American history.	The class learned how to say "hello" and count to "10" in Chinese.
Ms. Boaen's classroom is also very decorated with educational materials.	Ms. Boaen's class is studying explorers. She believes in giving her students a hands-on experience.
	In the computer lab, students create interactive presentations and quizes with HyperStudio.
Produce grown by the students in the school gardens.	These students were preparing the soil for a new crop.
