I've been the first one to school a lot lately, and I'm spending a lot of quiet moments in my classroom, thinking about what's working well, what I can tweak, and how I can best use the spaces I've set up. Rounding the bend into week three feels very different than the summer what-if energy, so I'm in a position now to tell you what's working, what's a work-in-progress, and what I still need to work out. I wish I could swing by and see your classroom too - wouldn't it be fun if there was some way we could run a vast YouTube channel with just 90 second videos of classrooms all over the world? Of course, then we'd never get anything else done in August but writing a giant list of inspiration. Or maybe that's just me. I love thinking about classroom spaces, and I've done a lot of research on this, so here we go. Let me share what I'm trying, so you can see if you want to try it too.
