Visit to Ambrit International School

Stanley entered Ambrit International School and the first thing he saw was the Atrium. 

The Atrium is like an indoor piazza. It even has trees! The classrooms are on 3 floors and flags are hanging on the balconies representing 74 different countries that students come from. (The school has 550 students from pre-school through 8th grade.)

  
Stanley enjoyed riding in the elevator to get to Ms. Chiara's 2nd grade classroom.






Students showed Stanley the classroom.



At lunch time Stanley stopped in the cafeteria to see what students were eating. 

There was lasagna, white cheese, green beans and fruit for dessert.

Stanley left the school at the end of the day. There is a nice garden between the school gate and the school building. There are interesting trees in the garden. You can see Stanley in a tree shaped like an airplane. On the right side of the gate you can see the green, white and red flag of Italy.

Stanley's Trip to School in Rome

This morning Stanley went with Mr. Larry to the school where he teaches Grade 5. They left the apartment and took a bus to meet other teachers who drive to school together.
This is Stanley waiting at the bus stop.

Stanley had to hold on to a strap
while he was riding the bus.

Stanley and Mr. Larry stopped in a coffee bar
for a cappuccino.

Stanley waited next to the ancient wall of Rome.

This is Stanley's first time
riding a car in Rome.
