We find out that our challenges would be replaced by action plan. This action plan will pave the path for achieving the goals that we design for setting up our environment.

# data[].attributes.body
our challenges and worries will be replaced by an action plan done by preschool teachers to start changing gradually.

# data[].attributes.body
1.Open up a discussion with my students on how do they think their class would really look like,feel like,and sound like?
3. Show them pictures or videos of learning spaces in different schools.
2. what actions could be done to have their class be the way they want?
4. for the beginning of next year i would have my class empty of and ask students to design it on their own.

# data[].attributes.body
through out the next day, we figured out that a big budget is not necessary . resources can be found everywhere, and a simple change can make a big difference.

# data[].attributes.body
I see empowered teachers who are capable of using suitable tools and strategies to design varied learning spaces and make real learning happen.

# data[].attributes.body
short:- ask our learners how their class  could be / how would you like to learn?
medium: design our class due to learners wellbeing.
long: reflect our vision / agency
