My Classroom lately

[Dave]

My Grade 4 students have put a lot of effort into their school projects. Slightly off-topic, but here are some photos of the inside walls of my classroom.

Our theme was Wetland Animals. I collected some specimens to match student projects and we created a display of their work in the room. Enjoy!

































































Once the decorations were in place, to add to the effect, I wired up 16 spot lights to shine only on the walls. By shutting off the boring flourescent lighting, it gave the room a real "museum" feel. Here is a photo of my parents and their granddaughter (who is one of my students!) enjoying the room during an Open House.



Hope you enjoyed the tour of the room!

Fantastic set of photos Dave. We enjoyed visiting the open house and were very impressed with the student's work and dedication as well as the amount of support that the teachers, parents and grandparents gave to the children.
Thanks for posting this!

Dave, looks like you and the students put a lot of time and effort into it. I am sure it will be one of their memories to hold on forever.

Dave, your classroom is totally inspiring. So many dimensions to experience. I bet your students would love to show yours and their work to kids from other schools. How about two school buses, one emptied of seats and filled with this work, the other for you and your kids . . . off on a tour of Vancouver schools!
