at William Henry Middle School
Dover, Delaware U.S.A.

Building Blocks of International
Friendships

how our lives are similar yet different!
William Henry Middle School
By: Benji
Can you name this place in Dover,
Delaware U.S.A? This picture is
the front of my school. The name
of my school is William Henry
Middle School. I am in the fifth
grade. This is where students get
dropped off by their parent or a
school bus every morning for
school. We go to school Monday,
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday,
and Friday. How many days do
you go to school?
Mrs.Wilson
By:Shannon
My picture is about Mrs. Wilson,
our principal. Mrs. Wilson is the
person who is mostly in charge.
She tells the teachers what the
students will study and won’t
study, Mrs..Wilson also aproves or
doesn’t approve of suggestions by
teachers, students,or people who
work in the school. So Mrs.Wilson
is mostly the one who gives
authority and privileges. She is also
very nice. Mrs.Wilson approves
many fun projects.Who is the main
boss of your school?

lady that takes care of
you when you get hurt.

will call your parents to
come pick you up.

NBA basketball player. NBA
stands for National Basketball
Association. Iverson plays for the
Philadelphia 76ers . He has been
playing for 10 years . I got to
watch him play in person.

Computers
Here is one of my friends
Ryan, researching black
history in the U.S.A. As
you may or may not
know,we use apple
computers for writing and
sending e-mails to pen

Computer Lab
By:Stephanie
This is Ms.Forest. She is the
teacher for the computer lab in
the morning. She teaches some
of the students how to use
computers the right way. For
example, when I go to the
computer lab, she teaches me
how to not always look at the
keyboard and sometimes look at
the screen. Do you have a
computer lab in your school?
Lunch Ladies
By:Stephanie
Do you have school lunch
ladies? We do at my school.
Well in this picture they are
getting ready for the hungry
students to come in and eat.
All of the ladies cook the
food and serve the food for
us to eat. There are almost
nine hundred students in my
school. That is a large group
to feed!
Planetarium
By:James
My best photograph
is of the planetarium.
The planetarium is a
place where we go to
learn about space. I
found out information
about the sun and
why we always have
sunlight so we will
not freeze from lack
of heat from the sun.
Auditorium
By:James
My other great photograph is
from the auditorium at my
school. It is where we have
programs and meetings with all
of the students and teachers.
For example, we had a
presentation on respect and a
Fifth Grade Spelling Bee or
Spelling Contest. We also have
plays with people dressed in
costumes as they act out a
story. So can you believe our
school Auditorium holds about
700 people?
Eating Lunch
By:Shannon
My second photograph I took
was about students eating
lunch. Our school has a lunch
time and we can either buy or
bring our lunch. Our lunch
time is when we, the students
at William Henry can talk
freely. The students have at
least three choices of lunch
and snack. What kind of
choices do you have at lunch
time?

them is the picture of my friend

taking pictures is that we get to
take them ourselves.
