Reflection Paper on Multigrade Miniature

By: Loriel Alto

We were tasked to create a multi-grade classroom miniature. Creating this output was

an innovative project that allowed me to re-visit how a multi-grade teaching works. With the use

of hands-on production and visual creativity, We dwelled on this project. As we began to design

our multi-grade classroom miniature, we considered a lot of things: Space, Arrangement, Color

combinations and especially how we would integrate inclusivity using various materials inside

the classroom. We incorporated necessary classroom materials like tables and chairs, boards,

and a whole lot of visual aids balancing both functionality and aesthetics. We make sure that our

library would not feel empty. For that we added mini books made from colored paper and bond

paper.

The creation process was the most thrilling and challenging part. We want to make sure

that the materials that we’re gonna use are effective but low cost. For that, we use what is

available in our homes. Each and every one of us discussed what we could do with our current

resources and transform them into something that would benefit our project. For example, we

use an old doll house. We deconstructed it and used some of its parts. Overcoming these

obstacles pushed me to think creatively about re-inventing what’s been invented

I came with a lot of realization during this project. Creating a miniature of everything

requires patience. It is not easy to miniaturize everything. Paying attention to detail should be

the utmost priority when making a miniature project. On the other hand, limited resources and

materials sparked our creative and innovative solutions. Maintaining the functionality and

aesthetics while keeping the project low cost and especially with our takeaways from our subject

reading visual arts, we were able to apply those lessons to the integration of our multigrade

classroom. Balancing materials in a confined space is a challenge but also an achievement.

In conclusion, creating this project was an experience. There were times that we thought

we would not be able to finish what was on our minds but I did it with the help of my group-

mates. I think this is a valuable lesson for our journey as a future educator on how we will

manage our classrooms. Maintaining classroom management at all times.

Reflection Paper on Multigrade Miniature

By: Aleah Ashley Espenilla

Working on this group project to design a miniature classroom has been both an

enlightening and challenging experience. Multi-grade classes are where students of different

grade levels, ages, and abilities work together or independently under the instruction of one

teacher. For our project, we were tasked with creating a miniature model of a multi-grade

classroom. This activity tested my creativity and deepened my understanding of inclusivity in the

classroom.

Through this project, we wanted to create a floorplan that would give the impression of

an inclusive multi-grade classroom. Flexibility and adaptability should be present inside the

classroom, so I made sure that the layout of our miniature model allowed students to have the

space they need for individual learning. Integrating a physical library and activity area was a

smart choice to let students learn at their own pace, giving them the opportunity to engage in

activities that support their individual growth.

While designing the classroom, I realized how important it is to have a classroom that

supports both cognitive and psychomotor development. The vibrant colors and open spaces we

incorporated are meant to create an engaging and welcoming environment for children. The

activity area we created promotes physical movement and hands-on learning, helping students

develop motor skills while also learning new concepts. I learned that the physical environment

plays a significant role in motivating students and helping them stay engaged.

The process also made me reflect on how essential it is to have spaces that support

both group activities and independent learning. The library space we added is an area where

students can work independently, encouraging them to learn at their own pace.

This experience has reminded me that as future educators, it’s crucial to create

environments that cater to the needs of all students. I realized that an inclusive classroom

should not only focus on academic learning but also on providing spaces for physical activity

and independent growth. Moving forward, I will continue to consider how the physical classroom

environment can foster both cognitive and psychomotor development in every student.

Reflection Paper on Multigrade Miniature

By: Jairah A. Ortiz

Creating the multigrade classroom miniature was a truly rewarding experience. It started
as a simple idea, but along the way, it became much more than just a project—it was an
opportunity to learn and work together.

The first part of the project was planning. We came together as a group and discussed
the design of the miniature classroom. We shared our ideas and made sure to consider how the
classroom would work for students of different ages. Moreover, what I’m particularly glad about
is how smoothly everything went in terms of teamwork. Despite the pressure and challenges
that came with the project, the three of us never had an argument. Instead, we respected and
valued each other’s ideas and suggestions.

Once we had our plan, we moved on to buying the materials. We made a list of
everything we needed. This part of the project required careful thinking because we had a
limited budget as a student. We wanted to make sure we bought quality materials without
spending too much money. Though it was a bit challenging, it was exciting to see the materials
come together, knowing they were the building blocks for our project.

Building the miniature was both fun and challenging. As we started to cut, glue, and
paint the pieces, we realized that it wasn’t always as easy as we thought. Some things didn’t fit
perfectly, and some designs didn’t work out as planned. Whether it was redoing a piece or
adjusting the design, our teamwork made everything go more smoothly. It was during this part
of the project that we really learned how to rely on each other and support each other’s
strengths.

As former elementary students ourselves, we were amazed at how our teachers

managed to craft such a thoughtful and functional classroom environment. Looking back, we
never realized just how much effort and attention to detail went into creating a space that could
support learning for students of all ages. This realization made us even more grateful for the
hard work our teachers put into their classrooms, something we never fully appreciated until
now.

Overall, there were struggles along the way, especially with time management and
budgeting. However, despite these challenges, our teamwork kept us going. Each of us had a
role to play, and we made sure to support each other throughout the project. This experience
showed us the value of working together and helping each other out, especially when faced with
difficulties.
