Hi everyone. The kids are at PE and I’m sitting here just thinking. I can see it raining through the window which is hung with the artwork students made last week with Gina. Against one wall, students have stored new book boxes for their stuff. Tracy got them for us because Mr. Lauer got us new smaller footprint tables that don’t have cubbies. Right next to the new spot for the projector cart where I often sit there are also some new little red leather ottomans. Between those, the beanbag, the floor level table with carpet squares, the pilates ball, the personal tote pod and the hokke stools, I think we have a decent selection of seating options. The pipeburst flood that displaced us for a bit has turned out to be a net gain. The room feels so much more open and flexible. There is a new energy.
This is one thing I really appreciate about Lewis. We try things out with furniture, with teaching methods, with technology and if they work, we keep them and share them. If they don’t we keep trying. It also means we can adapt and roll with the unexpected. Just sitting here for this quiet moment, feeling newly at home, made me want to note that. Thanks for everyone who makes this a place where my own learning is embraced as much as the students'.
