Welcome to the 2018/2019 School Year in Room 122

We are so excited to welcome our new and returning learners to our classroom. We have worked to create an environment that is welcome, engaging and promotes self-regulation and independence in our learners. Here is a sneak peak into our room.



Our literacy shelf with various resources for our writers
(writing templates, vocabulary books, sight word rings, sight word lists, letter rings, alphabet)
Providing a variety of vocabulary books allows learners to build independence when writing

Writing table
Materials are organized by colour and type to promote independence when cleaning up

Everyday our writers complete 'daily writing'. They hang their work up on the wall everyday
The their 'personal best' work ends up on this wall as a celebration before being added into their portfolios 

Our math area
We have writing templates and various open ended materials available for our mathematicians
This little table is our 'math table' where we usually have a math game set up
This year we have combined our drama centre and building centre. We are excited to see what type of play our builders and actors come up with!
Snack table- available all day for learners to eat when hungry
Our yoga and exercise area provides learners the opportunities to move their bodies in various ways
Our 'reading nook'


Calming corner materials to support down-regulation
Another calming activity
Our Zones of Regulation check in
 


Our 'flow of the day' and check in board
Our educator area
We provide various 'provocations' or 'invitations for learning' to engage our learners in various types of play and exploration. Here are some of the ones we had out in the first couple weeks.










We're looking forward to another great year in Room 122!
