13. “A Trip to School”

14. Marco has just transferred to Don
Milan central School. Coming from a
multigrade school from the south, his
present school is extremely big that it
looks like a boundless meadow. His
eyes travel from building to another,
staring at the children playing and
running as free as birds in the sky.

16. When his adviser, Mr. Eduardo
Hernandez, announced to the
class that they will tour the
school, Marco’s heart turned to a
drum beating fast in utter
excitement.

17. Their first destination was the
Principal’s office. Beside it is the school
library. Marco is a bookworm and he was
amazed with the variety of the books and
reading materials he saw at the library.

18. When they entered the
science room, Marco felt as
if he were in the outer space
overlooking at miniature
planets of the universe. They
also dropped by in the
different classrooms –
industrial arts room, home,
economics room, and the
computer room. They also
visited the classrooms of the
kindergarten pupils.

19. Marco learned that his
new school has a clinic and
a guidance center. There is
also a wide room intended
for the teachers while
waiting for the start of the
classes.

20. Mr. Hernandez also brought his pupils at the back
area of the school where the children assembled in the
botanical garden, mini forest area, and vegetable
garden. The school also has a wide playground
with seesaws, swings, and other play facilities where
Marco will surely love to go. He saw several study sheds
around the school. There were comfort rooms
constructed, as well as drinking.

21. The last building, they visited was the District
Supervisor’s office which was at the opposite
direction of the Principal's Office.

was in cloud nine

“Thank you, Sir! That
was a wonderful
Trip!”
