It's "Where I Teach" Wednesday at the http://imbloghoppin.blogspot.com.
My actual room though is the old Home Economics room in a Middle School setting.
Years ago we had budget cuts...I was then given a room similar to this picture...sorry I would love to show you my actual room...but I will need to wait until next week. I love my room! There is irony however. There was a time that I wanted to be a Home Ec. teacher,however I had a High School teacher talk me out of it. He said that there would come a time when there would no longer be Home Ec. in the schools,that I should really teach Special Needs children.I am actually glad that I listened to him some 34 years ago! :)
My room is rather large..it is almost like having two rooms in one. My students sit at tables...and we have access to the kitchen. Yes, I do teach my students how to cook. I use it as a behavior and academic incentive.
We run the Panther Paw Cafe
out of my room on a weekly basis.We are going into our ninth year. Students are taught how to bake, make soups, salads, etc...It's a great way to keep the class under control, because they all want to work in the kitchen.
Sooo..why don't you link up and tell us where you teach?
