Seminarian Primary School

On 17th February we visited Seminaarin Primary School in Hameenlinna. We have presentation with principal and vice principal. The presentation was about staff, kind of classes, multiprofessional teams, development targets, team organization, equipments.
Today, 6 th March we observed math lesson in Seminarin Primary school. The students were active. At the beginning teacher check homework, then students work in pair, at the active board. They do exercises about percentage from book. There was a task where you had the answer true or false. Near the tasks given pictures and graphics, the students must firstly read the text associated with the picture, then give answer. I liked this type of tasks, because I think, this tasks is not improve only logic as well as reading skills too.
