The classes each have a small gardening plot.
The buildings were bright yellow, blue, and green.
The staff with us in front of their building. The male on the left is the only BNU student that accompanied us.
The waterfall/pond had 2 turtles in it.
Another maze play area which seems to be popular in China.
Play area shaped like a train.
Great structures for practicing balance on.
Climbing structure.
Punching bag.

Rope tunnel to climb through.
Posts to walk on.

A cardboard box train was set up for parents to donate recyclable items to be used in projects at the center.
Each class had a main room with a couple side rooms that the kids could also use whenever they wanted.

This school uses the project approach and made this board after talking about what to do in case of an earth quake.

Another classroom.
Homemade pool table and sticks.
Girl showing me how the light turns on when she cranks the handle.
Bunk beds seem common in these schools. I wonder if any of the schools use mats or cots like we do in the U.S.
In this classroom the bunk beds are pushed to the side to make room for the block area during non-nap times.
They do a calendar time like we do.
They have individual wash cloths for each child. We wouldn't have a big enough bathroom to fit this kind of shelf/hanging system.
Children using the playground. A boy told me to watch him. Another trait of children that crosses cultures.
A traditional Chinese toy that they were teaching me to use. You are supposed to use the stick to keep the ring rolling across the ground.
