I was in my classroom this week with the intention of figuring out a layout for the room. I spent most of the time standing in the middle of the space, drinking tea and staring. Anyone who saw me doing that probably thought I wasn't being productive. But I most certainly was. Details on that will come later.
But I found some treasures while I was dragging furniture and emptying boxes, and I'm sharing them here. Evidence of what we do in the classroom together, and what the children create. I can't wait to get back.
I'll be taking a real, true, honest break until I return to the classroom so I can get off the grid and enjoy my last week of vacation. I'll be back in a few weeks.
thinking is most definitely productive! at least in the long term. ;^)
ReplyDeleteI know exactly what you are talking about. I too will be doing a lot of standing this week. lol
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your break.
love your blog- is there a way to contact you? didn't see an email- joetwelves@keeperpress.com
ReplyDeletePlanning for the room layout always did seem to mean taking the time to stand and to think and to visualize before moving things around...that's part of the fun, though, isn't it?
