Idlewood Elementary – Kelley Martin

I really enjoyed our visit to Idlewood Elementary. I thought that overall the school looked very kid friendly, especially with the different murals – in the restrooms (viewable from the hall) and the cafeteria. Also, I noted that many of the signs, bulletin boards displayed children from different races- not just white and black. The children were very open to talking with us and to show and tell us what they’ve learned. Also, hearing from the teachers who have been through the UACM program was very enlightening. I can really see how having at least one other person in the school that is going through some of the same things that I may go through would be really helpful. Also, it seems that they really know how to work together – in light of discipline issues and help each other out. I think I anticipated a school with very little color on the walls, on boards, in the rooms with possible ceiling tiles falling or carpet in need of repair. I am glad that the picture in my mind was not the reality at Idlewood.
