Yesterday, I measured, moved furniture, measured again, and then again and found that the previous layout that I created, unfortunately, wouldn't work and there was too much wasted space. Plus, it would be nearly impossible to regulate the quiet activities and the more boisterous activities during center time.
In this layout, the reading area is secluded in the corner and closed in on three sides (two walls and a one partition) with two tables and two shelves clustered in the center of the room. The two other large tables are anchored to the walls. The lightly x-ed out area on the plan is open for class games as well as Word Wall and calendar activities. This layout feels like it should work, but then the other one did also.
Tomorrow, I will try a portion of this layout and see how it feels.
On Friday, I will post a few more necessities for your use.
