Enlighten your classroom

 

Dear colleagues.

I want to share you one SUPER SIMPLE idea that can improve the vibes in your classroom with a little (very little) change. My colleagues have all bought "fairy lights" (I don´t dare sending you the link, cause there are thousands of possibilities) and used them to decorate their classroom, to point out or highlight a specific spot (in this case, the "reading corner", but it could be any other). This little thing works for all ages and all sizes. No excuses to bring a twist of warmth in your classes. Do you think it could work in any of your situations?


As you can see, the "classroom library" is also super simple: clothes hangers!!! The children can take the stories that they prefer. Of course, that would not work with thicker books but there is also the possibility of having narrow shelves from IKEA.


This colleague, as you can see, has some cushions and a small rug on the floor, setting for the "reading corner".

Relaxing little corner

 

Following the ideas of  Trazosclass, we tried to create a little corner for the autistic children to feel confortable and isolated (something extremely important for them).

This is the result:



it is located in our hall and it is used by the children with autismus, when they need to isolate from the noise. We also use it when we are reading with the children individually or whenever we want to discuss something delicate that needs some relaxing environment.

Yeah. little stepping stones in our school.
