My elementary school had two different kinds of module classrooms when I was a student. One was a set of three rooms at the end of a hall. The other was a corridor of four rooms to the left of the first three. I spent a year in one of the latter set of rooms. They had long outlived their intended use, sounded hollow when you walked through, and there was a leak when it rained, but the rooms themselves were bright and colorful. Several years after I moved on, the "portables", as they were called, were removed and two entirely new halls were built, transforming the school from an L into a square.

I had the nuns for teachers in a dimly lit, darkly paneled noisy, cold elementary school. I'm certain you and your daughter's experiences will be more memorable than mine!
