Visiting Lenoir School

We visited the Lenoir School on Wednesday, 30^th. It was a great time for us

First, we went to Elementary school; there it was so funny because the kids are cute. We saw many activities that they produced and I attended an ESL class. We saw the student`s activities and listened to the story that the teacher was telling them.

After that, we went high school and there we had the opportunity to talk to American teachers about the education in the U.S. and the education in Brazil.

We attended drama classes and the students surprised me they participated, laughed, had fun and mainly, they learned.  After that we attended English classes. The students wrote an essay in a class before and in this class they corrected them using a chart. One thing that was interesting for me was the student`s behavior, because they respected the teacher by raising their hands when they want to talk.

There are some differences between Americans and Brazilian schools. In America students go to another classroom, in Brazil the teachers go to student`s classroom. In the classrooms here are many materials like: books, laptops, etc…, in our classrooms in Brazil don`t have them. We have libraries, lab, but not in the classrooms.

There are some similar things like ages that the students start to study, grades, and schedules.

So, this experience was so interesting and important for us.
