A Quieter School: An Enriched Learning Environment
Experience your learning space in the quiet.
What do you hear?
Listen for 8 unique noises.
Note 8 unique noises you hear (some you have never noticed).
Ask students to notice those noise and see what they think.
Add one minute of quiet to a lesson. Post a picture of the class experiencing this at #learningspaces.
