After the fifth grade students designed their learning space, it was time to analyze all of their blueprints and make a final decision for the arrangement of the room. Using a Google form to create an online survey, the students came to a consensus on the type of learning centers they wanted as well as their location in the room.
Reading center
- natural light
- saucer chairs (spider chairs create too much movement)
- bookcase positioned to serve as a dividing wall for creating separate space from the adjacent game center
- conversation table for discussion
- headlines and language of thinking for visual learners
Project Center:
Making thinking visible allows the students to build understanding of what they are learning as their thoughts are displayed around the room. The students decided to create a project/design center with space to exhibit their end products.
