Week 1 - Welcome Back!

Our first week back to school was very exciting even though we were not in our new Active Learning Classroom yet. As part of the grant from Steelcase, the students had to participate in a survey before seeing the new classroom. We also took this time to get to know one another and build positive relationships. By the end of the week, we completed the survey and introduced the students to the various new types of furniture located in the room. Students participated in mini-lessons on each type of chair and established class expectations for sitting in the new, exciting chairs. The week ended with the unveiling of the classroom to the students. It was so exciting! The students were impressed with all of the new features from the connected floor and carpet, to the rolling tables and campfire area and even the new paint and lights!
