My Classroom!

 My morning commute from Compton.  Only 45 minutes.

 Working hard?  Before picture!

 Break at Manhattan Beach 

 My rat catching, IKEA navigating, bulletin board master.

 Library

 Bulletin Boards - so many colors!!

Quotes above the board: "Make yourself proud." and "Never never never give up!" 

 Student pictures will be in the film strips on the wall.

 My creative sun - the windows were so bare!

 My "desk" with St. Ignatius quotes along the back wall.

 Word Cemetery and Alive Words

 Boxes above the cabinets for each student to build a portfolio 

throughout the year as more authentic assessment - hopefully!

 Library again

Pace Space!  For early finishers, students who haven't completed homework and 

students who need to step "out" of the class for awhile.  Dr. Knotts would be so proud!
