My classroom is going to be a pilot project in the Rainbow District School Board for a 21st Century Intermediate Classroom. I am absolutely over-the-moon.
Stage 1: In the beginning - read about where the classroom started.
Stage 2: A reading space - my students created a reading "room" for the class
Stage 3: Coming soon….
The plan is to create a variety of areas for students to maximize our cave, watering hole, campfire and mountain top learning configurations. I am going to bring in cafe tables, standing-height rectangular tables with stools, tables for seated collaboration, floor seating and, of course, technology. Best of all…. NO MORE DESKS!

Stay tuned over the next few months as my learning space undergoes a transformation.
This is so exciting! I'm in the process of doing the same for my classroom... high "bar chairs" for counters along one wall, an area rug with cushions/bean bag chairs and a coffee table, and some lamps for a little more focused lighting. A little bit of paint (possibly a mural across the front of the room?)... I can't wait to see how it turns out (and what the students think of it)! Don't forget to post pictures! :)
ReplyDeleteThat sounds fabulous Heather. My students will be excited to hear that when they leave our school there will be other revitalized classrooms at the high school
