At Gardner Street Elementary, many students, like me, stay long after the school day is finished and go to after school programs. There are homework, math, literacy, and enrichment classes. In Literacy we learn grammar and how to write stories. In Enrichment we do creative things like drama, drums, and have people from the Eco Station bring saved animals to school to teach about how these animals live in the wild. Some fun classes to choose are Cooking Creation, Clay and Play, Hop on the Woodworking Bus, Build It!, and Rock Star. Friday is a movie day and we get to have popcorn! Teachers give their heart to make us very good students. – Valeria In my classroom, there are about 30 students. I sit at the very front of the class. We have a Computer Center, a Writing Center, and a Reading Center. My class is very big and is very awesome. Like all schools, we have a cafeteria. The 4th-6th graders eat outside. When we’re done eating we can play. On our playground there is a jungle gym, handball courts, grassy area, kickball area, the racing track, and the basketball court, which most boys play on when it is recess. – Dasha
