Camino Real Elementary

My new school is only 20 minutes from my home in South Austin, but it is like a different world. You have to look sharp or you'll miss the turn onto Rhode Road that will take you there.
It is is located in Niederwald, Texas, home to fewer than 600 Texans. Kids from Niederwald, Buda and Kyle, Texas are bussed in on roads like this: Here's the lovely view to the east:
To the north:

The south -I've been told that recess has been canceled or cut short due to illicit cattle activity.
But don't let appearances fool you. The children are just as smart as they come and are so happy to be at school every morning! I have one of the sweetest groups of second graders I've ever taught. They are proud to be Camino Real Roadrunners and I'm proud to be their teacher!
