They are asked to take on new responsibilities, like choosing the people they sit with at lunch, and changing classes. The addition of trailers to that mix hasn't fazed the sixth-graders at all, he said. The only difference is, they're outside. The kids seem to actually enjoy going outdoors, Tull said. Of course, the weather is still nice.
Students now take lunch in shifts.
Eighth-grader Danielle Cooper said she misses having lunch with the other classes. We used to be all together for lunch. Each trailer has two classrooms and a bathroom, which cuts down on the number of times students have to go outdoors. On Monday, all the classrooms were fully operational. The trailer housing the computer lab, library and central offices was still getting organized.
