Students have their backpacks ready to go home when they return from their P.E. class.
The teachers share an office down the hallway. They travel to the student classes. Six teachers share this office. Teachers teach classes half of the day and the other half they spend grading papers and preparing lessons.
Shengli Primary School also sent students home on Thursday afternoons so the teachers could collaborate and attend workshops.

Front Entrance of Shengli Primary School - Zan Cheng campus
This is the front entrance. There are examples of student work on the display boards in the front of the picture. There is a grand piano covered with a green cloth behind the pictures. Students take turns each morning playing the grand piano as the other students are arriving to school and going to their classrooms. There is no central office at the entry. The school is open to parents and grandparents to come into the school when they need to. There is no bus transportation. Students walk to school and are often accompanied by parents or grandparents before and after school.

This is a picture of the Zan Cheng campus of Shengli Primary School taken from Principal Zhang's 11th floor apartment next to the school. He keeps a close eye on the school at all times! : - )
Shengli Primary School has two campuses. This is the newer campus built about 10 years ago. There are over 2,000 students and 150 teachers that learn and work at these two schools. There are over 1,000 students at each campus.
There are assistant principals at each campus that help Principal Zhang oversee the daily happenings at each school. Principal Zhang has a very big job!
