Last week, we introduced the new feature “The View From Your Classroom.” Inspired by Andrew Sullivan’s “View From Your Window,” we asked educators from across the country to show us the what they see from their classrooms. We’ve gotten some wonderful submissions so far and we’re very happy to present this Halloween-inspired classroom “view” from Leslie Retzlaff of the Teddy Bear Day Care & Learning Center in Ypsilanti, Michigan:
We’ll showcase more “views” in the weeks to come. But, we need your help. If you know a teacher—or you are one—send in a photo of the view outside your classroom window to share with our blog readers. Please title the e-mail “The View From Your Classroom” and tell us the school name, city, state, and grade level or type of classroom. You can also upload your photos to our Flickr pool, Education Sector’s View From Your Classroom.
