New Classrooms Are Almost Ready

Teachers have been busy over the break moving into classrooms in the new hallway.  Perhaps the most excited and overwhelmed are the third grade teachers.  It worked out that they were able to move in from the portables but it was on short notice.  Great news is that they don't have to deal with the wintery weather. 


Students will be in the new hallway when school starts back in January.  They will most definitely be excited to have so much room and all new furniture.  Even the lighting is enough to make you smile. 

HALLWAY


Workers Justin and Pearce installed the bulletin boards outside each classroom. 





Workers are laying adhesive for the remainder of the hallway tile.  It is not clear how they will travel to the end of the hallway to lay the tile??????



This picture does not do justice to the bright white feeling when you look down the hallway. The accent tiles coordinate with the embellishments above the door (notice the "shadow" of tile under the embellishment) and the cabinetry inside the rooms.  Each hallway will be a different color. 


NEW CLASSROOMS

Each of the new classrooms will be equipped with the same cubbies, cabinets, teacher area, bookshelves, computer desks, and student desks.  The only difference will be the types of student desks for the grade levels.  Primary will use two-student tables while intermediate will use individual student desks.    As teachers move into the rooms, they will take on a personality of their own. 

This is how a primary classroom is laid out in one of the original rooms. 

This is a view from the back corner of the room.  The teaching area of the room is the opposite from the old rooms. 

This is the view from the doorway.  These are primary two-student desks.  Notice the storage area under the desks.

This is the teacher area.  Ultimately the teacher computer will be linked to an interactive projector.
