Progress has been made. I'm starting to feel good about my room environment. My color palate is blue, purple and green - but mostly blue. Years ago, my classroom management professor advised us to use blues or yellows and to keep the boards as uncluttered as possible, if we wanted to create a calm environment. Apparently, students with ADHD are very affected by busy boards and bright colors.
All the boards have been papered but not delineated.
Check out the library. I had fun at Walmart's buying pillows and rugs. And I love the fun stools and chair I found at my local Marukai (only $5.98 ea.)
I'll use regular student chairs in the computer area, but chairs are always at a premium during workshop.
Now, I have lots of flexibility. The purple rug can be relocated to create a temporary area. The stools will be used to create instant reading areas. And I've already used the chair. It is so light and portable that I move it everywhere. It's better than grabbing a student chair.
