We Have the Power to make changes!

We have been discovering that we have the power to make changes.  A couple of weeks ago some of us noticed some problems with the 'Jobs Wheel' in Room 2.  

We put our BLACK thinking hats on and actually noticed 5 problems or bad points.  This week we put our YELLOW  thinking hats on and made a note of the good points.  Then we looked at 3 different classroom 'jobs' charts that Mrs Bennington found on the internet.  We all thought really hard and came up with lots of good and bad points about the 3 charts.

Here are some photos of us thinking about the charts and recording our thoughts on paper.

Paige is gluing her thought to the chart.
Good thinking and lots of writing at the red table.
Libby hard at work and others with their thinking hats on.

The most common good point was photos and pictures.  We decided we needed pictures of the jobs to be done.  And our job chart should have real photos of us to show who should be doing the job.  (Not just drawings of random people as Aden noticed in one of the examples.  Thanks Aden - Great thinking!)

We're hoping to have a new chart up soon so it's easy for us all take part in keeping our classroom a great place to learn.
