We are very much coming together as a class even though our mixed grade group requires students to be coming and going at all times! As hard as it can be to have students travelling and working on different projects at the same time, kids shouldn’t always be doing the same thing at the same time. Each child’s curiosity and particular needs can only be truly satisfied when a classroom offers multiple options at once. On Friday we had some Catch Up/Clean Up/Exploration time and it was fascinating to watch as students found their way into different projects. If you are not already following our class on social media, I regularly post on Twitter and Instagram as @LewisRoom24 and you can see them at work.
