Setting up Neil C. Matheson

So, this is how I encountered my other classroom at Neil C. Matheson P.S.......

The floors are all washed and waxed. Look how shiny it is!!

It won't last very long like that :)

Moving furniture around is not as easy as it may look. It is heavy and when everything is pushed to the side it is hard to have an idea of where to move things.

This classroom, I think, is more spacious than the other one at Whitehorn.

This school is much older too. I am felling very much conflicted and I am not sure which school I like best.

Both are great, and both have great qualities.

So, after much moving around, this empty room started to look like a classroom again.

This is how I set up the writing centre (for now anyways! )

Here is another view! You can see the Math carpet, the science table (round table) and the writing centre at the back.

Both my filing cabinet and the heater (next to the writing centre) are magnetic, so I place lots of magnetic letter for the kids to play.

Another view. In the background you can see the open space where story time will take place.

Here is a view from another angle. You can see the sand table and the painting tables, the computers and the blocks shelving unit.

On the right, you see a little bit of the puppet teatre.

So here you go. Now you now what my classrooms look like.

When I finish setting up Whitehorn properly. I will post more pics.

cheerios,
