Sneak Peak of a Classroom

This is my classroom on the second floor at the new McDonald International School Building.  It will the be the classroom for second grade literacy.  Most classrooms 1st - 5th will look similar as the space will not change much.  The exceptions to this will be Kindergarten classrooms which will be larger and equipped (some of them) with restrooms in the rooms. 

It is hard to see but I will have a view of the Cascades!  It is not obvious in the video but they kept the old chalkboards and mount them on sliding walls that goes up and down.  When raised, the walls reveal a "closet" for backpacks and coats.  When lowered, the walls hide the closet and will be usable chalkboards.  The projector will be mounted on the ceiling.  Yay!  It was a big hit with all the teachers to no longer have a tech cart in the middle of the room that everyone trips over on a regular basis.  We also have air conditioning in the form of a ceiling fan.  Hey, this IS still a public school.
