Young students answer this month's question: HOW WOULD YOU CHANGE YOUR CLASSROOM? “I would change everything to eco-friendly materials so we help our planet, because our school recycles to make money for educational programs.” Zoe, 10 “I would have a beach-themed room. I would have soft sand instead of carpet and speakers that would give off the sounds of the waves crashing at the shore. This would help me relax.” Daniela, 10 “I would want laptops for everyone in class. We would be able to look up words and get information whenever we wanted to.” Camille, 11 “I would change the back cabinets into a water slide. Every time someone gets a 100 percent on a test, they would get 10 minutes in the slide and in the pool.” Ashley, 11 “I would want an animal exhibit. When we learn about animals, we could actually observe their behavior.” Kylee, 11 “I would put a giant trampoline in the middle of the room so we could relax in between subjects.” Daniel, 11 “I would change the back whiteboard into a taco stand. This would help out learning because if you get hungry before recess, you can’t really focus on your work.” Camden, 10 “I would put streamers covering us and our desks when we took tests.” Kate, 10 “I would put two or three bowling lanes so you can bowl and have fun while you are warming up your brain to learn those tricky math subjects.” Justin, 11 “I would add more couches and new books for us to read. And I would bring in a cotton candy machine and a snow cone machine as a reward for reaching our goal of maybe reading five books each trimester.” Rilie, 10 •> Quotes from School: Tijeras Creek Elementary      San Juan Capistrano      Teacher: Dai Backlin      Grade: 5th
