Guilin schools

Tuesday we had the opportunity to visit a middle and high school in Guilin. This large rural school is mostly residential because the students have to travel a long distance from the rural areas where many come from family farms- mostly rice. There are about 2500 students in this school. The man in the middle is the principal.


These signs were posted all around the campus at the Guilin Experimental Middle and High School.




We enjoyed the exchange with the Guilin teachers who were so interested in meeting and talking with us. The principal presented Page Keeley with a lovely banner expressing their gratitude for our professional connection.

We watched a lesson on separating mixtures. These third graders were so happy to show have us in their classroom!




Theses students had never seen an I-pod Touch. Ed is showing them Google Earth and letting them use the touch screen to find China. They were captivated!

Our photos with the school drum band that welcomed us and the red scarf students. Wearing the red scarf is a recognition of school leadership and academic excellence.
