S - What is a 'S'trength of your learning environment?
W - What is one thing that 'W'orries you about your learning environment?]]> 2023-02-14 14:39:17 UTC https://padlet.com/sarahfitzpatrick5/k2lg9mqbka1ppvuh/wish/2482002003 sarahfitzpatrick5 https://padlet.com/sarahfitzpatrick5/k2lg9mqbka1ppvuh/wish/2482002245 N - Some sort of sound proofing so the kids can concentrate because it is incredibly loud in there all day long
E - The kids have made the room "their own" and feel comfortable and safe there which is essential
S - The size of the room allows for multiple areas that the kids can work in
W - That it is going to flood]]> 2023-02-14 14:39:24 UTC https://padlet.com/sarahfitzpatrick5/k2lg9mqbka1ppvuh/wish/2482002245 sarahfitzpatrick5 https://padlet.com/sarahfitzpatrick5/k2lg9mqbka1ppvuh/wish/2482002401 N - More resources are needed, especially as we grow into a larger school and implement the higher grades. We need a library, science and computer labs, etc.

E - The space; the classrooms are large and the outside play areas are spacious and fun for the students.

S - Everyone is making effort to decorate the space with anchor charts and student work. It creates a feeling of shared ownership, care, and celebration.

W - The space as a whole doesn't fit all our needs, especially as we grow. We do not have lab facilities, a fully functioning gymnasium with required equipment, etc. ]]> 2023-02-14 14:39:28 UTC https://padlet.com/sarahfitzpatrick5/k2lg9mqbka1ppvuh/wish/2482002401 sarahfitzpatrick5 https://padlet.com/sarahfitzpatrick5/k2lg9mqbka1ppvuh/wish/2482005117 Look at your section.

N - Storage to clear spaces and make sure that the hallways and shared spaces are clean and welcoming for students and staff.  [There are LOTS of other things we need, but I feel like storage is a feasible option that we can work with ... can't quite replace the plumbing just yet.]
E - Being in an old school means that there are features that support what we are doing. The natural light is really wonderful!
S - We have a large outdoor space! We could have been put in an office building or church basement that has no outdoor play area, but we were gifted with lots of outdoor space for kids to have the freedom to play.
W - The sustainability of being in a small space and an old building. Time is being spent on facilities issues that means other things take the ol' backseat! ]]> 2023-02-14 14:52:01 UTC https://padlet.com/sarahfitzpatrick5/k2lg9mqbka1ppvuh/wish/2482031642 sarahfitzpatrick5 https://padlet.com/sarahfitzpatrick5/k2lg9mqbka1ppvuh/wish/2482032195 N- More classrooms and more storage
E- We are in an old school. Hearing teachers, parents and other community members say that they came to this school and how all the upgrades look great. Also, how big classrooms are for teachers to have different learning areas. Example: reading corner, cozy corner, etc" 
s- 
W- the lack of soundproofing between walls and ceilings. No proper music room, auditorium, or cafeteria

- Student end-of-day tasks 
- Making a classroom agreement together (teachers and students)
- Providing students with images and examples on the classroom walls on how to express themselves.
2: 
- Have assemblies as a school
- Have an area in our school showing our students helping in our community (Food bank, PAW, etc)

- Clean the hallway ]]> 2023-02-17 14:27:51 UTC https://padlet.com/sarahfitzpatrick5/k2lg9mqbka1ppvuh/wish/2486389083 sarahfitzpatrick5 https://padlet.com/sarahfitzpatrick5/k2lg9mqbka1ppvuh/wish/2486394098
Doing now
1. Allow students to display and think about how they are feeling throughout the day 
2. Have spaces for students to work together or independently
3. 

Could do more of
1. Have a space for students to display information about their identifies/cultures i.e. 'who they are' all year round
2. Student choice of where things go  

Next week
1 - Curate and organize materials better for our new unit]]> 2023-02-17 14:31:56 UTC https://padlet.com/sarahfitzpatrick5/k2lg9mqbka1ppvuh/wish/2486394098 https://padlet.com/sarahfitzpatrick5/k2lg9mqbka1ppvuh/wish/2486394301 3 - displaying student work, sectioned spaces in classrooms for varying purposes, celebrating students' achievement and cultures 
2 - more visible evidence of celebrating students' cultures, find more time for students in ALL classes to interact (i.e., reading buddies, assemblies, helping hands...)
1 - more student input into the organization of the classroom]]> 2023-02-17 14:32:07 UTC https://padlet.com/sarahfitzpatrick5/k2lg9mqbka1ppvuh/wish/2486394301 kathryn_crossman https://padlet.com/sarahfitzpatrick5/k2lg9mqbka1ppvuh/wish/2486395556 3 things that we are doing well:
- celebrating student work 
- having tools on the wall/in our spaces for students to use 
- showcasing collaborative work (teacher/student collab. and student/student collab.) 

2 things that we can do more of
- authentically/meaningfully incorporating students' culture into our spaces
- exploring what seating options we could have to support independent learning

1 thing we can do next week
- CLEAN THE HALL ]]> 2023-02-17 14:33:06 UTC https://padlet.com/sarahfitzpatrick5/k2lg9mqbka1ppvuh/wish/2486395556 https://padlet.com/sarahfitzpatrick5/k2lg9mqbka1ppvuh/wish/2486397336 3 - Tools in the class to help students unpack their emotions, Having students teach words in their native language to the rest of the class (helps to create an inclusive community), Daily check in to begin the day (allows the kids to share about their lives and helps foster a sense that the class is a safe place to be themselves and share about themselves)
2 - Create more connections between the classes (before and after school there is some sense of connection but during the day, the kids can feel disconnected from each other). Display more of the work being done
1 - Try to keep the class more organized]]> 2023-02-17 14:34:22 UTC https://padlet.com/sarahfitzpatrick5/k2lg9mqbka1ppvuh/wish/2486397336 kathryn_crossman https://padlet.com/sarahfitzpatrick5/k2lg9mqbka1ppvuh/wish/2486414370 What are the Parts essential to your learning space now?
- manipulatives, seating options, space for collaboration, student access to materials

Who are the People who should be involved in creating your learning space?
- collab with Elizabeth + students

What are some Complications you have in setting it up?
- At this time, I don't see any complications.

People - Students, teachers (me and Elizabeth) 
Complexities - not enough storage at the moment (more is coming. 
Time in takes to order resources 
Lack of bulletin board (things fall off the wall easily) ]]> 2023-02-17 14:47:22 UTC https://padlet.com/sarahfitzpatrick5/k2lg9mqbka1ppvuh/wish/2486414672 https://padlet.com/sarahfitzpatrick5/k2lg9mqbka1ppvuh/wish/2486417123 Parts - seating, resources, cozy corner
People - teachers (all those involved in the space), students
Complications - weird wall space when trying to display student work/anchor charts; need for bulletin boards

People - Anyone using the space but mostly myself and students
Complications - Lack of plugs makes it so that certain things must go in certain places which can limit things

I think the learning environment at Eastgate is nice and fun on the inside - sometimes boring outside.

A question I have is are we getting more stuff to play with outside.

I think the learning environment at Eastgate matches the welcoming nature of the teachers because I see my child's learning on the wall. 

A question is there anything I can help with to improve the spaces at Eastgate?]]> 2023-03-23 11:05:41 UTC https://padlet.com/sarahfitzpatrick5/k2lg9mqbka1ppvuh/wish/2528648860 sarahfitzpatrick5 https://padlet.com/sarahfitzpatrick5/k2lg9mqbka1ppvuh/wish/2528648967 I am thinking from the viewpoint of...

I think the learning environment at Eastgate is welcoming and friendly. Everyone seems really nice and the classes are fun but recess is kind of boring because there is nothing to do

A question I have is if there will be any play equipment to use for recess like I used to have at my other school?]]> 2023-03-23 11:05:53 UTC https://padlet.com/sarahfitzpatrick5/k2lg9mqbka1ppvuh/wish/2528649081 sarahfitzpatrick5 https://padlet.com/sarahfitzpatrick5/k2lg9mqbka1ppvuh/wish/2528649292 I am thinking from the viewpoint of prospective parents.

I think the learning environment at Eastgate seems welcoming and engaging. Students seem to be given more agency with their learning/problem-solving and understanding their feelings (themselves and how to manage them with their peers/teachers).

A question I have is how Eastgate manages a grade 3 student's learning and feelings compared to a grade 5 student in the same class. ]]> 2023-03-23 11:06:07 UTC https://padlet.com/sarahfitzpatrick5/k2lg9mqbka1ppvuh/wish/2528649292 sarahfitzpatrick5 https://padlet.com/sarahfitzpatrick5/k2lg9mqbka1ppvuh/wish/2528667139 I am thinking from the viewpoint of a middle years' student.

I think the learning environment at Eastgate is very positive and collaborative. The buddy system is a great way to create support amongst peers. The school itself is very proud of celebrating the diversity of the students' cultural backgrounds. Everyone feels welcome and represented at the school.

A question I have is how can I be more involved with sports and extracurricular activities to further enhance my school experience?]]> 2023-03-23 11:23:14 UTC https://padlet.com/sarahfitzpatrick5/k2lg9mqbka1ppvuh/wish/2528667139 https://padlet.com/sarahfitzpatrick5/k2lg9mqbka1ppvuh/wish/2528681527 I am thinking of the learning spaces from the viewpoint of a prospective parent.

I think the learning environment at Eastgate include large classrooms with lots of natural light, wide open spaces outside for play, but there are not many different or differentiated spaces for learning.

I would like to know how teachers differentiate the spaces available to provide different learning engagements and learning opportunities.]]> 2023-03-23 11:35:30 UTC https://padlet.com/sarahfitzpatrick5/k2lg9mqbka1ppvuh/wish/2528681527
