Going to Kdei Ta Koy Primary School

Catherine Reporting

Kdei Ta Koy Primary School is in Vielsbow Village. It is a small school. The 4^th grade classroom I visited It had no a/c or lights, so it had big windows. There were 4 rows of wooden desks that hold 2 people each. It had an old chalk board with a curtain on it so when the teacher writes the answers for the questions, she can cover them up.

The lesson was about the water cycle. It was all in Khmer so I only understood a little big. Since I couldn’t understand, a girl in front of me gave me a picture to color. When the teacher calls out on a row they stood up and read the board in a funny voice. The teacher brought in a bucket full of dirty water and all the students came up to look. Most of the students worked in groups.

Recess time! At recess, there were 3 sections I went to: the garden, the playground, and to the Chinese calendar animals. The playground had little play equipment, like 4 swings, 2 chin-up bars, 1 slide, and some tires. I played on all of them. Then we named all of the animal statues in Khmer, and my favorite one was the “damrey” (elephant).

This school is way different from Scobee (my school in America) because Scobee is big and has like 4 classes for every grade. I like the school in America because it is more easy, but I still like the school in Cambodia.
