Observations from a going-to-be 3rd Grader: Gwyn Brown

"Today I went to Horace Mann. They were not working on the building at the time. I think they were not working on it because of the weather. First I walked up to the building. First thing I noticed was the building was the same. And there were lots of machines. The stairs and the sidewalk were gone. The trees were also gone. So was the playground. Same for the bench and the table. The Funnel Ball was gone. And the gates were locked. I felt sad because so much changed.

Recap of the month: by Maximilian Biger

I found a big tube and I thought it would be cool to take a picture of the inside and I was surprised because I thought I wouldn't be able to see the end. I found several small tubes. This is going to be the new entryway. Mrs. Prybil will be on the right. But when your IN the building walking out your doors, it will on your left. I took this one just for no reason. I like the way it looks and there are lots of materials in the picture. I took this one because there was a school bus passing by and I thought it would be cool. They tore out part of the sidewalk and the color of the new one DOES NOT MATCH. Which I am pretty confused about. I took this picture because I knew that the blue house is going to be torn down. Not yet. My mother took this from the window of her bedroom. Because it shows what the project looks like from afar.

The Tour: Round 2

I chose this because it shows the stairs that go to the windows that show the gym. It's really cool because you can look down at the other classes playing AND it's tornado proof because it is made out of cement. This is the new staircase. It used to be the OLD main staircase too, when the school first opened. This is the elevator shaft. This is the motor to the elevator. This is the glass paneling. This is a picture of part of the gym. This guy was working up high. This is a picture of the future playground (and Reed's house, to remain). This is a picture of the air conditioning. This is the art room! Ms. Cox will LOVE it! This is storage for the art room. Close to finished hallway. New floor and walls. Inside of a classroom. The storage.

SPECIAL EDITION! INSIDE TOUR! By Maximilian Biger

I got to take a tour of Mann. I made a slide show of my photos to share. Read it here. Mom's note: If you click on the Present Key on the top right, you can view Max's slideshow in full screen. We are very thankful to Duane Van Helmert, Ryan Engrav, and Julie Robinson for giving Max this special opportunity to learn more about the construction process. Truly an educational experience!
