Text Lay-ups
One of the first things I did when I got into my classroom was take down every single piece of crap that was on the walls. I just wanted a blank slate so that I could start over. Yesterday I gave each student a Shakespeare quote and a piece of posterboard, and they worked on making visual and/or artistic representations of the quotes.
I had planned to use those posters for text lay-ups tomorrow, except I just realized I have no where to do them. My room is too small, obviously. The other teachers won't like it if I have kids running up and down the halls while the class claps and yells. The stages and gyms are all taken. I can't take them outside because it's hotter than Satan's balls.
Any suggestions?

Are there any teachers in your school with consultation that period who would loan you their rooms for 30 minutes? Or is the cafeteria available?
That's a tough one. Any way you could make enough room in your classroom if you stacked the desks on top of each other or put them in the hall for a bit?
I love the posterboard idea and I'm looking forward to hearing how the lay-ups go when you do them!

My classroom is a little bigger than most of the rooms in the building. I already got rid of all my tables, and we could stack the chairs, but there wtill wouldn't be much room. 32 kids merely standing around waiting to do the lay-up will take up a third of the room.
It's no big deal, I'll think of something.
