Using Space Wisely...

With our bulletin boards on one side of the room and the SMARTboards on the other, many teachers elect to have one large circle space and another smaller space by the bulletin boards for calendar time. I thought long and hard about how to combine the spaces to make better use of my room. I chose to adhere cork squares to the back of this very sturdy cubby shelf (made by our carpenter custodian who is amazing!). By turning the shelf sideways, I create an entryway into the classroom and also a surface perfectly suited calendar time. Hooray!
