One enthusiastic educator's exciting journey to teaching mastery
|

This year, I set myself the challenge of increasing seating options in my classroom. I've always been interested in classroom design, and I notice how my students respond positively to thoughtfully planned learning spaces.
With that being said, here's what I did, and how it worked out.

Since I have the pleasure of teaching grade 1 AND 2 this year (in separate groups- thankgoodness), I used different activities for the beginning of the year getting to know you activities.
First, my firsties! My partner and I worked collaboratively to create summery self-portraits. I had our students create their summer sunglasses (drawing two things they did during the summer in the lenses...looking back upon their summer vacations, if you will. The idea is from the linked website). They also created their faces using construction paper and markers, working on concepts such as proportion, and colors. My partner had them work on their t-shirts, where they had to draw their favorite things, so we could could get to know them! A little while back, I tweeted my first attempt at sketchnoting, listing my goals for the year. Well, I figure I better get started, since school has been in session for almost 3 weeks already! There's no time like the present!
