The first school day in Charles City

Our first day in Charles City high school started by driving with our host student to school. We didn´t have to wake up as early as we usually do.
The GAPP-Students met in the entry hall and the principal and the german teacher Mrs. Buttjer introduced themselves. After that we went into the german classroom and we gave Mrs. Buttjer our gifts such as “Haribo” and “Tempo Taschentücher”. Then new people introduced themselves. The first one was a teacher for students with special needs, the next one was an organizer for school and a man for school activities. The last one was a man who supports other teachers.
Mrs. Buttjer showed us around the High School and then we went to the middle school, that was next to the high school. The school in America is very different to the school in Germany, they have a green screen and every student has his own Laptop. After being shown around we went to lunch and had a short break before the next program started.
The next program was a rallye through Charles City. We started out in the gym, called YMCA, other stops were a Café, the Police Station, the post office, the supermarket and some others. The end was at McDonald´s where our hostfamily picked us up and drove us back home.
