Part 2

The elementary school has a science garden with a lovely fountain/pool in the middle.  The plants in the garden will have electronic tags that kids can scan with iPhones and get information about each plant with.  The three new middle school art rooms' floors were poured yesterday.  These are large spaces that will have plenty of light.  Also in the middle school, the science labs were altered to accommodate clamps and other equipment required for science teachers to integrate STEM standards.  Each science room now also has a separate walk-in supply closet.  New electronic keys were added to every classroom so we will no longer need traditional keys.  One shocker was the scaffolding workers are using as they work around the outside of the building (cleaning windows?).  It was made of bamboo and you couldn't have paid me enough to get on it, although it certainly held for the workers.

Scaffolding on the front of the school.

Today we are going to People's Square to do some site-seeing in the downtown area.
