I had the chance to visit the learning center yesterday to talk to my head teacher about the rules of the learning center and to prepare some teaching props. I also got the chance to look around the place and I have to say that the place needs an extensive cleaning. I will go there sometime next week to do some more preparations and to decorate my classroom.
As you can see on the photo, my classroom does not look like a regular classroom. Me and my pupils (including their parents) will be sitting down in a circle on the carpet. One of the principles of the learning center is to make the classroom favorable to learning but somehow different from that of a regular classroom.
I’ve been reading some teachers’ blogs and most of them talk about the start of the school year already and I somehow envy them because I am really eager to start teaching (I haven’t been teaching for more than two years). The beginning of the semester here is on September 14th so I still have to wait until then. For now I can focus on making my lesson plans, my teaching materials, and some decorations for my classroom walls.
