The superintendent is pointing to a model or diorama on the table, which includes toy figurines and a variety of materials. One student wearing a black Jordan hoodie looks on from the left, while another student in a GAP sweatshirt focuses on the project. A third student, wearing glasses, observes from the right. The classroom shelves behind them contain books, a globe, and other educational materials.
