Primary School Visit

This afternoon we visited Haer Bin Zhaolin Primary School in Harbin. When we arrived we met with administrators, teachers, and students. It was an amazing visit. A grade 5 student, Alex, showed me around. We visited classes and saw students creating calligraphy, working on a stamp, and watched student performances.

It was a great visit that reinforced why I became an educator. The students are so much like ours with their enthusiasm and their willingness to show us what they were working on.

I am very interested in pursuing a relationship with this school. I think this would prove to be a great experience for students at both schools. It would give our students the opportunity to experience a different culture.

  1. HI Mr. Pires,
    Did the student showing you around speak English? When do they begin to learn another language? How is the day scheduled in these schools?
