Chalk Talk Site: week 7
I have always thought that a welcoming classroom is a classroom with many vibrant colors that "invites" the student in. When I was checking out my feedly account for this week I ran across this item on my Chalk Talk site. These are little adirondak chairs of many colors that little students can comfortably sit in. I saw these at my own walmart store in town and thought what a cool idea it would be to have them around my room at various centers. It sure was nice to see that others had the same idea. As a kindergarten teacher I am always looking for more and more fun and innovative ways to brighten my students day and I think that including these colorful and interesting chairs into their daily activities would give them a different feel and keep them on their toes. They certainly do take the monotony away from the regular old "school chairs". I certainly LOVE this idea and will be looking for them on sale at my local store. :)

I also love to change up the typical classroom set up. Even in fifth grade I find my students get more comfortable when their environment is more welcoming then just a row of desks. This year our school is adopting the Daily 5 method and I have been in my classroom setting up and rearranging in order to have more "stations" and abilities for my students to collaborate and innovative.
