Picture this... sitting in a science lab at a table crammed together with four other middle school students in a class of thirty students, while engaging in project based learning. Students to the left of you are engaged in scientific discussion based on observations. To the right, others are conducting investigation manipulating materials, measuring materials constructing with material, just making a mess. You are trying to complete a lab report in a cluttered and chaotic environment. Now, do you feel very productive? I can imagine this is how my ninety students feel daily. I am finding myself struggling with my classroom space. Daily, I have to remind my students as well as myself to be mindful and respectful of others space in this constraining learning environment. This year, I'd like to introduce flexible seating options to my students allowing them the comfort of learning in their own unique space throughout the classroom. I'd like to organize my classroom for areas of computer accessibility. I'd like to offer smaller table and grouping areas for English language learners who require smaller settings. I'd like to create a safe, comfortable and cool space where learning happens naturally, as my content of science does.
