I appreciate the amount of technology (ie. Chromebooks) reserved for use solely in the Learning Commons. I would like to see greater flexibility in our ability to use the space for tech purposes (ie. a way to more easily predict if another class will be using tech during their scheduled Learning Commons time?)

I value the positive relationships created between the teacher librarians and the students (staff also) which foster a love for reading and learning.  The book exchanges and read-alouds are always eagerly anticipated by the students as well as the school-wide book fairs.  I would like to learn more about MakerSpace.  Joe

I enjoy taking my students to the LC because of the change in environment and the access to technology. I think the students enjoy the little extra space and freedom.

I would like to continue taking my students to the LC for a read aloud and book exchange.  I also like to use the LC when working with small groups of students.  The students enjoy the space as well!

I enjoy the Learning Commons times and the access to extra technology.  It would be nice to have a quiet area for some students who require a quiet spot as it can get quite noisy.  The atmosphere is usually very pleasant and happy.  Is there any room for Makerspace ideas in the Learning Commons?  Maybe a little corner for students to do some STEAM activities if they are all done their work?  I loved the idea of the plays being performed in the LC.

I enjoy my learning Commons time. It feels kind of like a mini field trip 😀 and I admit I enjoy taking time to just sit and to the stories that are read to the kids. I do think sometimes I would like it to be just a bit quieter but I typically sit outside the doors at my "Starbucks " cafe table on my prep. ☕ Renee

I like to use the Learning Commons for the extra space and the use of technology. It is a flexible space so can be used different ways based on the learning goal. Children can spread out, work in groups, have access to technology and books. A quiet zone with some noise buffers might be helpful if it is needed.   I like having a regular time to have book exchange and read aloud but it  is also helpful to have flexibility when you want to use the space for other reasons. The online calendar/sign up system worked well last year.

The learning commons is a great place to work with small groups and to use technology as a class. It  is also a super place to have team meetings as it is a welcoming place

maybe some quiet space for kids taking tests or for those who need a quiet place to work.

I like that the kids get to listen to a read aloud from someone other than the teachers that are always speaking to them.
Also the Kinders love getting an opportunity to choose a book to bring home!

I like the idea of a maker space in the LC.  I would also like to see a "quiet" area reserved for teachers on prep time

I love the weekly visits with my kinder students and the stories that are read and shared with them! I also love the flexibility of the LC. A maker space would be a lot of fun!

I love coming for book exchanges and read aloud. I also like using for quiet tech space for small groups. It works well with two classes using tech at same time

I like that it can be used in many ways with different classes at the same time.  I like how it makes the school more cohesive (ie observing students helping others).

I still enjoy read alouds for kindergarten, but would prefer to rotate smaller groups through, with selected read alouds be connected to inquiry initiatives-either as enhancement or provocation of deep learning.

My students enjoy being in a new environment and it's great to meet with junior students in the LC who become our primary buddies.

I would love to see a maker space in the learning commons. A place to bring our students to explore and their imaginations. This will support inquiry based learning in the K classroom

I enjoy the flexibility of the space and being able to see all groups to check in and redirect as needed. Often, this is difficult in a classroom from a space/noise perspective. Also, I like that students can opt to get up and find a book about what they're researching, rather than having to wait for their library time.  Access to an extra Smartboard is also useful. In the future, it would be neat to see a music-oriented discovery space where students could have hands-on experience with all our instruments in one spot (but that would be the end of our quiet space, wouldn't it!).

In kindergarten, our classrooms tend to be busy and loud. I enjoy taking small groups to the learning commons to work on a task. It
Gives the students a break from the loudness and they can focus on the task. There is usually always room in a small corner on the ground where we can work.

I enjoy the extra place where my students can go to when our classroom is too busy. There seems to always be a spot for small groups to go to the LC without needing me to be there with them. It gives them a sense of independence.

The learning commons brings people together.  My students always enjoy looking for new books or working on projects, alone or in a group.   The use of technology and the regular schedule help students and teachers establish routines. I always look forward to my learning commons time
