Students are getting reacquainted with the behavior expectations, daily procedures, and arrangement of the art room. Here are some images of the newly rearranged art room:

On the left, a view of the lovely windows, new plants and big work table!
On the right, the new and improved reading center - so cozy, and roomy too!
On the left, job folders line the bottom of the wall, and on the board you can see the countdown until Ms. Weymouth becomes Mrs. Gonzalez!
On the right, students work in close but comfortable proximity at their tables. (The new arrangement will help build student collaboration and communication while cutting back on the noise level.)
On the left, the recycle and scrap table.
On the right, the large supply and demonstration table.
On the left, the tribes community agreements (I use these as my class rules).
On the right, the new Creative Challenge Center (filled with activites for students to do when they finish their classwork.)
And, last but not least - my favorite animals... TURTLES!
