Each year, the tech lab becomes a space that's just a little more enjoyable than the year before. Last year, I decided the bright overhead lights just weren't doing it for our space. Parents donated some light filters and I brought in some lamps with soft light bulbs. Curtains are hanging in our windows, bookshelves are rearranged, new furniture and plants have found a home as well. Over the summer, the tech department rearranged the lab in a way I've been wanting for quite a while. It opens the room up so much and has brought many smiles to the students of Memorial School! Spotify welcomes students (and staff) each block with an instrumental version of a familiar song. Every now and then, I spy students ever so slightly dancing to the beat as they await their tech lesson. I would be lying if I said I didn't catch myself doing the same. It's allowed us to connect as we welcome the school 22-23 school year. The older students have been personalizing their computers, too. Adding a picture to their backgrounds of something that brings them joy has been a big hit. The start of the school year has been magical, and I can't wait to see where the year brings us.
