A video of my 10 to 13 year olds using the spaces made by throwing out some of the desks from the classroom.
I am really pleased with the space that has been freed up, plenty of space for individuals to spread out, and we have a large meeting area. I suspect I will never go back to a desk per student in a classroom.

Hi Kathryn
ReplyDeleteI love seeing how well your kids have taken on board the Daily5 programme and how engaged they are in their literacy block!

Hi Kathryn,
ReplyDeleteI loved watching this post of your gentle, hardworking big kids so engaged in learning. It is a delightful piece. I will be sharing it with others too. I also put a link to it on the guest blog post you made on the Children's Literature blog. Thanks again for agreeing to do that! For your readers, I'll add a link to it here
Warm regards,
Denise

ReplyDeleteThank you for your leadership in daily5. You have inspired me!

Thanks for stopping by. I so wish I had heard of this way of organising literacy much earlier. It is like a dream. Sometimes I feel like I need to pinch myself, to wake up! As I go I hope to develop it more.
