Moving the Classroom Furniture (mystery skype, skype, test, Wonder, classroom meeting, lit circle, energy debate 1 and 2). By: Rachel

     The ritual or routine of moving the classroom furniture is a daily thing we do. If it's for passion time, lit circles or a Mystery Skype we most likely have to move the tables. Everyone in the class is supposed to help after everything else is cleaned up. Sometimes we even do a Give Me Five to remind everyone to help, where to put the tables or both! So a "Give me five, Give me five everyone needs to help get the tables in the back in Skype set up." I totally normal and okay.
     This ritual or routine is a pretty important one. Without this ritual or routine we wouldn't know where to put the tables for different subjects. For example Lit-circles would be all messed up because people would be reading to close together or the tables would be in the wrong spots and then could block the walkways. Also Mystery Skype would be hard because the Questioners need their own table and we might not have that happen if this ritual or routine did not exist. 
     Moving the classroom furniture helps our classroom stay student-led by allowing the students to have some responsibilities as a whole; not just individual jobs. It also helps us be student-led by being something Mr. Solarz doesn't do. He relies on  us to do a lot and this is one of those things he has us do.
