She left me with the room to rearrange not having met the students more than a few days. It was a challenge but with the new setup it allowed for more passing room and students to work together. Thank you for sharing!

I am reminded of some interesting quote someone shared, perhaps on FB, "you're not a tree, change!" or something like that. Love "less zooming, more lingering." Happy to hear it's working so far, Maureen!Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983144542632353870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7403335925917427902.post-46323858891973030622014-02-11T19:43:10.758-05:002014-02-11T19:43:10.758-05:00I love how you paid attention to the kids and the ...I love how you paid attention to the kids and the environment and made the change. I am currently teaching writing to a colleague's class and every day move her rows back into groups. New for her kids in the middle of the year, but they are finally responding and working like writers together in their collaborative groups.

I feel the same way at home. There are only so many options for furniture arrangements in my living room, but even a small change always makes the room feel new and fresh again!Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01132042235993262800noreply@blogger.com
