Meynaa School is located on the island of Holhudhoo. The school teaches grades 1 through 12. It has about 450 students with approximately 60 teachers.
My first week at the school was spent observing classes at all grade levels. My classroom observations served as a kind of informal assessment of the teachers' professional development needs

| Here I am talking with an economics class. |
 |
| The calendar, written in Dhivehi, reads from right to left, with the week beginning on Sunday. Friday and Saturday are the weekend. |
 |
| At the beginning of an assignment, this third grade English teacher would pull the whole class together to give them instructions. Excellent technique for keeping the students focused, and a structured reason for moving from their desks to the group activity |

| The Maldives is a Sunni Muslim nation. The school uniform for the girls is a white burka, while the boys wear either all white or white shirts and black slacks. |
 |
| Fifth grade English class. I think there were about 23 energetic students in this class. |

| Oh the joys of learning! |
