Today, the students decided what our class, small group rotation would "Look Like" and "Sound Like". During rotation, the children spend about 25 minutes at each of the three stations: Independent Seatwork, Small Group Instruction, and D.E.A.R. time. I thought I would share with you the behavior they thought you would see and hear if you were to walk into our classroom while they were working at their desks:





The students completed the same sort of activity based on how they felt the library should look and sound when they visit for DEAR time.


DEAR Looks Like

DEAR Sounds Like

I'm very proud of their ability to describe the perfect kind of classroom!
