Today was the big day for us, because we were going to see our schools. According to the schedule, for English Major students should go to Tawarawadee School while for Science Major students should go to Rachineeburana School. My school is supposed to be private school, while the Rachineeburana School is a public school. For the first day, Mrs. Surattana came with us on the van. She apologised for not being able to accompany us all the time as she has been busy with her work. When I and Uci arrived, we had Mr. Pruek waiting for us in front of the school gate. We straight away went to the main office, and Mr. Pruek introduced us to our teacher supervisors, Mrs. Sutamma Suksee (Oil) and Mrs. Srisawang Wongtragulraung (Bert). Each of the teachers was caring and responsible for us. Mrs Bert is my personal teacher supervisor.

After a while, Mrs. Oil walked around the school building with us and introduced some rooms such as sound labs, science labs, physics labs, computer labs, classrooms, office, and so on. From what we saw, this school has four levels, where the ground level is for the office rooms and canteen.The rest of the floors are for classrooms. After the quick observing, we went to Mrs. Bert class and introduced ourselves in front of students. The students were very nice and welcomed us with many questions and their curiosity about our country. We quickly became friends and played BINGO game in our free time.

We also met Neon and Praewe from Silpakorn University. They were also teaching English in the program of teacher training. They brought us to their office, and gave us a space. We also met with other teachers there. It was a nice experience. After lunch, we visited On’s class to do observation. We saw her teaching some vocabularies and directions to her students with drawn map. Prew was asked to go around the school to check the students for preparing tomorrow’s event, mother’s day. After the class, we were asked to observe students in the meeting room. The students were practicing for the ceremony. The ceremony will start tomorrow morning at 7:30 am, with some prayers together with monks. We stayed there until it was time to go home, 3:30 pm, and we left the school before saying goodbyes to teachers and students. We are very excited to see the event tomorrow.
