You can read about it here: <br />https://nikisthoughts.wordpress.com/2015/12/18/lock-down-drill/<br />I eventually found out the reason for the lock down. There was an armed robbery down the street from the school, and the police didn't know where the suspect was.

When I envision my classroom I see a library area that has a bright carpet as well as bathmats that students can use to move around and read. A lamp for dimmed lighting in this area. I have a listening center in that area that could fit 4 students comfortably. I would have a group table in which would be both my space as well as a student space to work during centers. My desk would be near the library area as a way to block off that area but allow students a place to lean with their pillows. On the walls I would designate certain spaces per subject (Math, Reading/Literature, Science/S.S, Star Students, Word Wall, etc). I would create a space for parent volunteers to come in see what my daily needs are and work in that area. ktislandgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03393596639893029421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4605600500151958579.post-86114904567107404002016-02-29T10:32:25.481-06:002016-02-29T10:32:25.481-06:00As a substitute teacher myself, this made me laugh...As a substitute teacher myself, this made me laugh.
