Reflection 2 response

Erin-


It sounds like you definitely have the most interesting learning environment out of all of us. It is encouraging to hear that the students and your teacher make the best of what they have, but it has to be hard on everyone. I can’t imagine the kids walking around from trailer to trailer once it gets really cold outside. That’s great that the Riner area is expanding and bringing more people to the area, but I wonder if they will consider adding a portion on the existing middle school for the 6th grade?
The group of only 80 students staying with one teacher sounds nice because you get to meet all of the students. This is very different than my experience at Cburg Middle with the three 7th grade teams, but it also sounds like you have more grade level collaboration than is possible in a larger school like Cburg Middle. I am curious to come and visit you and your kids to see the different learning environment and see what aspects of the classroom are similar/dissimilar in this change.

Its really funny that you mentioned the cold because I just hopped on the blog during a planning period today at Auburn and its about 35 degrees here. It is absolutely brutal. I might ask my principal about any plans to expand the campus, but as of right now I am not sure.
