If you have visited room B22 recently looking for German teacher Frau Goehler, you may have been surprised to discover that her classroom has moved to the outer computer lab on the second floor of our main building. Similarly, in the next week or so the library will move from its current location down to the first floor teachers' lounge. The reason for these significant and disruptive moves is fire code compliance, at the direction of the City of San Diego.When faced with the prospect of these mid-year changes, Frau Goehler and AEA librarian Corie Julius could well have complained and resisted the move, with good reason. After all, the German classes are now held in a room with three adjacent offices and three entrances, while the "new" library space is one third its former size. However, these AEA teachers took the changes in stride, and immediately set to strategizing, setting timelines for moving, and looking for ways to make the best of a challenging situation. This approach sends a powerful message to our students: when confronted with the inevitable challenge and change in our lives, the creative, reflective, and balanced problem-solvers will prevail and thrive.
Next time you see either of these teachers, be sure to thank them for their handling of this situation.

I think our new libary move is cool but it's not fair that our only place to hang out like our own teachers that is now going to be taken away the only spot that have were students get to read books use the computer hang out and chat is now going to be gone and be moved to a different spot which is no fair for example Sierra says "that its stupid.And also Namid says "Its a waste of time and also cause there's no reason to move the libary.
