Classroom Pictures

Hey guys! It's the end of my first week working with the kids at BJS. The class is the youngest I've ever worked with, and there's so much to do all the time! I thought I'd share some pictures I took of the classroom before the kids arrived.

This s our block/gross motor space. Set up for crawling, building, and rolling!

Our art space. You can see the light table in the background, and an overhead projector can put images on a sheet hung over the table.

A little welcome space, and lots of dress up clothes.

Of course, our safe place.

And the big draw to room 7, the slide! There are no stairs, so the children get the extra challenge of climbing the slope before sliding down.

I'll try to be better about posting! See you soon!

So, I arrived in Boulder Tuesday afternoon, and I've been slowly making concentric circles out from my home base, like a cat. There sure are mountains here! I haven't really felt the altitude sickness everyone talks about, but I haven't been up there, yet, either.

I've tried out the bus system I'm sure going to miss the wonderfully free Chapel Hill buses. I went to an area called pearl street, which is filled with restaurants, shops, and the smell of patchouli. It seems neat, I'll probably go back.
 I also went by Boulder Journey School. It was so neat! Every available space is covered in documentation of life at the school, going back years- the earliest one I saw was from 2002. And they have a hallway fish, named Diggum!


Anyway, I'm here, I'm ok, and things start for real with the program next week. Peace out!
