Walls that Inspire!

Freire teachers design classroom spaces that support and enrich instruction in many ways: The Dragon Drop recently toured our classrooms to highlight some of the cheeriest and most ingenious uses of wall space. 

In Room 304, Ms. Sarah and Ms. Jamie help students make connections between what they're learning now and how it will matter to them in the future. In Rooms 302 and 313, Ms. Julie and Mr. Chad constructed a mountain collage to track major assignments throughout the year. In Room 018, Mr. Paul uses his white board to indicate student jobs and short- and long-term agendas and creatively displays the periodic table. In Room 312, Ms. Taryn highlights rock star student work in her "90 and Above Club" feature. In Room 3002, Mr. Luke and Ms. Stephanie create large mosaics of mathematical problems and solutions. In Room 309, Ms. Rachael, mixes motivational posters with students' positive write-ups. And in many rooms, teachers display calendars, personal pictures, and art to create comfortable, inspiring, and collegial places for learning and living to happen.
