Learning Spaces

Hello Blog Buddies!

As I have mentioned before, my new school and classroom is located 

in a federation building. We recently explored the 'middle hall' area that provides 

our department with an awesome learning space.

(Can you see the enormous portrait of our sovereign, Queen Elizabeth II?)

I simply love the light that is thrown in via the large windows.

The space allows our students to explore our inquiry topics in a beautiful area.

The teachers in my department get together and 'set up' learning stations 

that reflect our inquiry topic.

My students are learning to work co-operatively and cohesively.

They are learning about our schools attitudes with their learning...

... as well as making new friends.

They are learning to take turns as well as how to ask for things politely.

Learning to work together, as well as how to 'get along,' are both 

important skills to master.

My students are already showing me they know how to work together

and how to use manners.

They have also formed many new friendships.

Working together can be so much fun...

... And a great deal more productive than working by yourself.

I think it is going to be a fun year!

How is your year going so far?
