The Insider gets schooled

<strong><big>Eaton Tarbell, 4th grade</big></strong><br /><br />I like the gym because it’s big and when you're outside of it, you can’t hear people from inside it. I also like how big it is and how it’s kindergarten to fifth grade, instead of just third and fourth grade or kindergarten to second grade. I pretty much like everything about it.

<strong><big>Hunter Anderson, 4th grade</big></strong><br /><br />The gym, because last year we had to waste some time just to get to the gym. I forget where it was, but there was a gym we had to ride to. I also like the art room because there’s more stuff in it.

<strong><big>Maya Fabozzi, 5th grade</big></strong><br /><br />It’s a lot bigger, and we have an auditorium, which we didn’t have before, so I really like that. We also have a gym, and we didn’t in our old school. We used to have to take a bus to go to the gym.

<strong><big>Rose Speidel, 5th grade</big></strong><br /><br />My favorite thing is how many more tools we have. It’s just more functional than the other school was. The cafeteria is great, and also the lockers are really great because we don’t have to share closets with anyone now.

<strong><big>Riley Hollidge, 4th grade</big></strong><br /><br />I like the design of the school and all the colors. And I like how there’s a stage and then tables, so you can eat your lunch while you watch the fifth grade do a play.

<strong><big>Manny Felix, 5th grade</big></strong><br /><br />I like the gym. It’s big and has lots of equipment to play with, unlike the other gym at Rumford. I like to play basketball, and the gym has six hoops

<strong><big>David LaBombard, 4th grade</big></strong><br /><br />I like that we get to use iPads and how much technology we get to use. We used to have to always be in a computer lab, but now we can be in the classroom with iPads.

<strong>Belle Riley, 4th grade</strong><br /><br />I’m new here and I love how big it is. It’s way bigger than my old school. And I love having it all together, because at my old school we had to walk all around campus.

<strong>Eleni Spilliotes, 5th grade</strong><br /><br />The fact that all the grades get to come together. In past years, we were all split up. And I get to see my old teachers and friends in other grades.

<strong>Rabina Rai, 5th grade</strong><br /><br />I’ve met lots of new friends and the teachers are really nice.

<strong>Ronaldo Cabral, 5th grade</strong><br /><br />I like how we get to use the iPads and we get to use Google docs. We also use Evernote a lot.

<strong>Ahmed Ismael, 4th grade</strong><br /><br />That it’s built for lots of grades and lots of things that haven’t been there for the last few years.

<strong>Alex Reynolds, 4th grade</strong><br /><br />Either the iPads or the new basketball court. I like the court because it has a high hoop and a low hoop so you can dunk.

<strong>Julie Deacon, 4th grade</strong><br /><br />Probably the size of it. All the classrooms are really nice. And the art room is a lot bigger and has a lot of art supplies.

<strong>Johanne Nichols, 5th grade</strong><br /><br />I like the art room because it’s really open and it has a lot of glass you can see through. It’s also nice to have sinks in the classrooms.

<strong>Isaac Miskoe, 5th grade</strong><br /><br />The iPads. We get to use them when the teacher lets us. We can take notes on them and play multiplication games.

<strong>Molly Banzhoff, 4th grade</strong><br /><br />It’s a great learning facility for all ages. It makes sure every single grade has the same amount of learning ability.

<strong>Morgane Orcutt, 4th grade</strong><br /><br />I like the big building, but most of all I like the teachers and students.

<strong>Sydney Abramson, 4th grade</strong><br /><br />I like how big it is and having laptops and iPads right in the classroom.

<strong>Nate Vandesea, 4th grade</strong><br /><br />I like the iPads, because we get to do research on them.

<strong>Alice Richards, 4th grade</strong><br /><br />I like how big it is and how really colorful it is. And all the new things, like iPads and laptops.
