The teachers' desk was on one corner of the classroom, surrounded by piles of books and papers and more posters on the walls surrounding his space. There were also two computers in the back of the classroom, which looked really old and warn out. They were off and it didn't look like they used very often. There were two big rugs for students to sit on depending on the center they're in. There was one rug in the front of the classroom, where the students sat while Mr. Gonzalez most of the teaching. The second rug was in the reading area. There were multiple shelves with an array of books to choose from. There were also plenty more shelves throughout the entire classroom that was used as storage space. There was also a writing area, where the students picked different words from a bag and had to write different sentences with those words. There was no empty wall space to put any more shelves or any other kind of furniture. Even where there are windows, there is furniture blocking anyone from looking out the windowsill. On another one oft the four walls, there is a closet that runs just about the length of the entire wall. .

Every time I walked into the school the security guard, who politely asked me to sign myself in the sign-in book, greeted me. I'd do as I was told and head to the main office, where I would get a visitor's sticker to put on my shirt. The main office clerks always seemed very busy, making phone calls to people outside of the school or calling the teachers in different classrooms. When they weren't busy and were able to attend to my needs, they were always polite. By the second day they already recognized me so I didn't have to say much. I'd sign myself in the Montclair Student binder and get my visitors sticker. I liked the organizational method of having two sign-in sheets for the Montclair Students. It kept everything more on track. Someone in the office would direct me to where I needed to go and I'd be on my merry way out.
