Classroom

Summer is over. My classroom is ready for students to begin their second grade adventure. I painted the walls peach because the research I read said that was the best color for an aggressive learning environment. I bought two tables and asked several children how they felt about the height of the tables. All of the children I asked wanted the tables to stay full height. I did not cut off the legs to make them the usual 25 inches. My orange couch invites both children and adults to come in and stay. Most of the adults that come in comment that it feels like home. That is what I wanted because that is a more natural learning environment. I am excited about the classroom but more excited about the learning that will take place this school year because of the classroom preparation.
