But I would never get anyone to hang a screen in the corner! Every couple of days he’d remind me, “you know, if you just move it up high and in the corner, we’ll all be able to see it better…” He was right. For weeks I had joked with Distracted Danny that if he could pick where the screen went it would be better for everyone. That’s REALLY HARD for a middle schooler to ignore. It didn’t matter if I moved their seats- it didn’t help them to “pay attention”… they were! But- every minute or so one of their besties walked right into their line of sight. The problem wasn’t just that occasionally a classmate would block someone’s view while walking to their seat- it was that staring at the warm up on the screen in the front of the room at the start of class, provided an unintentional “social check in” for my easily distracted kids. It did for me! When I added this DIY projector screen to my classroom, things changed- and FAST! No more distractions for kids working on the class warm up. But, in your world- a thoughtfully place projector screen could make ALL the difference. More importantly though, moving it is not topping anyone’s to do list… there are much bigger fish to fry- from a property services standpoint. It was hung uniformly, matching all of the other classrooms… probably with an antique overhead projector and transparencies in mind. One of the biggest challenges to classroom set up is that projector screen.
Now, you’re ready to make this new space work for you.
Make it the classroom of your dreams!!! Now What You finally have your own classroom!!! No more shuffling around on a cart, lugging your whole life with you every period of the day… no more “borrowing” other teachers’ classrooms and hoping you left them as neat as you found them.
