I notice how engaged the kids are, either on individual tasks or with a partner. Seems like there are enough choices to meet a variety of needs, but not so much that the teacher would be overwhelmed. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThe kids appear independent, engaged and confident with the tasks. The visual reminders of choices in the room are clear and purposeful.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
The room has a calm buzz with the sound of meaningful learning. The tasks look intentional and the structure looks manageable by students and the teacher. I want to be a student in this room!
