The Spare Room Essay

My second blog is about my first impression about a novel I’m reading in class. The name is “The Spare Room”, written by Kathryn Lomer who taught the EAL subject in Hobart.

Emma pulled up to the small ranch that she had grown up in. Although she hadn't visited in years, it was exactly as she had remembered. The powder blue house with white shutters and a white door. The lush bushes circled the house. But now there was a for sale sign on the lawn, one that would be taken down tomorrow after the papers were signed. Emma got out of her car and and turned the key in the door for the first time in seven years. She creaked the door open. The house was dull and dark.…

The size was perfect for separating the classroom out into different learning areas. This is a good setup because it helps the child to focus on only the activity/station they are in at that moment. Like most kindergarten classrooms it had one entrance/exit and included a classroom bathroom, which was located in the back. This cut down on distractions since the students did not have to walk in front of the board or through learning centers to reach the bathroom. Also the door area was kept clear…
