I have LOTS to blog about from this week. The happenings of my week will appear in posts to follow throughout the week.
But, for now...I thought I would post some pictures of my room. I meant to do this after the first week of school and kept forgetting. Finally, this week I put on my to-do list "take pics of room" and that was what helped me remember. It still needs some work. And, it is a mess right now (not too bad in the pics). But, here is what I've got so far.
The front of the room hasn't changed much.
Those are our social contracts above my desk. And, my new easel which holds my calculators and individual white boards.
Another angle. That poster has students' equation collages about themselves on it. It spreads across the back of the room. The other half is in the picture below. And, they say "Rockin Radicals." Students filled in the equation "My Hobbies + My Goals = Me" with pictures and drawings about themselves.
The rest of the equation collages and my Word Wall.
I'm still loving the windows and keep the blinds up all the time. The counters discourage/block students from getting distracted about what is happening outside. I think they enjoy the natural light coming in. However, things in my room are fading F.A.S.T. I can tell from day to day when I write on the calendar on my desk that the sun is bleaching what I write. I left something highlighted on my desk for a few days and by the end of the week, the highlighting was almost invisible. It's crazy how the sun does that. But, I don't care! I like the windows open. Funny story about opening the windows this week coming soon...
And, just because I was so excited to FINALLY get this in the mail, I'll end with this picture.
It's official. I have a Master's Degree!
