A new kind of learning by Ryan Dailey

This year the normal classroom is being flipped around into a fun comfortable environment. New kinds of freedom and responsibility have been handed to us, students, by the idea of a flex classroom. As you may have seen on Back to School night, our classroom is scattered with furniture from outside the usual classroom. From the peddle desk to trampoline and lawn chairs, this room gets exceedingly comfortable and cozy. As for assignments, we are given one due date per unit. Meaning we are given all assignments for one unit at the same time and hand them in either as we finish or all on the set due date. Mrs. Kopp leaves it to us to manage our time inside and outside of the classroom to get everything done. While it may seem easy to be come flustered and unorganized, the scheduled set for our class during the week keeps the disorganization from getting too hard to juggle. Mondays and Tuesdays consist of a class lecture. During this time the class gathers together while Mrs. Kopp teaches and explains topics relevant to our current unit. Wednesdays and Thursdays are independent work days. This is the time given to us to work on our assignments for the unit or other things related to class, like this blog post. While this work is independent, we are not completely alone. We have Mrs. Kopp and each other to ask questions and bounce ideas off of. Fridays are our relaxation day. We are given time to simply read. We are allowed  to chose any book we like to not only strengthen our reading, but writing and vocabulary as well. The flex classroom keeps class interesting, lively and gives us a chance to take responsibility and manage our time . Overall this year will be challenging but enjoyable.
