Students redesigned their classroom to give themselves the space (room and atmosphere) to create. This is what our classroom will look like for the next 6 weeks. I've been banished :) to my table "back stage" behind a curtain where I can observe by listening to all the chatter and creativity going on around me. It is delightful!

We also came up with some agreements on how to use our creative space together using our Transdiciplinary Social Skills.

We have invited parents, teachers and other students to join with us during the next 2 weeks while we are in the first phase of our Creative Process to let their inner artist out and explore their creativity alongside us. We can learn from each other and be inspired.

Planning Inquiry Together

Leigh Ann and I have found that planning an inquiry with students is a must, it's a lot of fun too! We are still learning how to make student's voices the loudest but we've found this idea a great step in the direction we are aiming for.

We use Kath Murdoch's Inquiry Cycle (found HERE) on the IWB, or you could do this with marker on large poster paper, to plan a basic overview of our inquiry ahead. It's a great visual and way to manage time with a longer inquiry unit. We return to it during our inquiry to check our time progress and make adjustments to our plan as needed.
