Smoke and Mirrors

Today I worked with Room 5 all day again. We read a lot of books and the kids drew pictures of their families. After that, the kids explored the sensory-motor room. This room is very interesting; the walls are different textures, the ground is covered in a thick rug, and hammocks, pads, mats, and ropes are strewn across the area. I would like to learn more about why this room is beneficial to the progress of the students, but today it was exciting to just watch the kids play. An interesting thing I learned about today were the observation rooms. Each main classroom of the school has a room where parents can observe, unseen by their child, how their kid interacts with others, creates art, or learns. Below you can see pictures of the  observation room looking into the art room. In the art room it appears to be a regular mirror, but it is really a window!
