Organization is a key component in Ms. VeZain’s room. She believes that a well- organized room is essential to the success of her students. This structure allows for her students to become more independent because they do not have to rely on staff assistance for finding and putting supplies away. This structure also promotes organizational habits in her students; they quickly learn that organization helps them to be successful in school and other aspects of their lives. Some ways her organizational strategies include: using color coordinated folders and baskets, and labeling all important areas of the classroom.

Students in classrooms complain of having to sit in classrooms all day. A story from ideas demco about changing the seating in classrooms is, “With 7 different types of seating available, it took about 2 ½ weeks for students to try all of them. After that time, I allowed students to “free choose” each day. It became obvious after the first several months that students could handle working with their friends, and we eliminated the signs. I had a few issues with students not being able to focus, but when I did, I simply asked the student to move to a new spot with his or her comfy seating. It wasn’t a problem because they couldn’t argue with my philosophy that students should be able to be comfortable and learn at the same time. I was able to get more teaching done, and the students were able to get more learning in, as they quickly got ready each day so as not to lose their choice spots. After the first month, the students were ready to eliminate even more desks. I asked if any students wanted to “desk/locker share” with a partner. This brought on a HUGE response. Pairs quickly formed, and students moved desk items into one space instead of two. We eliminated another 6–8 desks. Collaboration and neatness came into play for those sharing storage space. Desks were becoming a place to work instead of “homes” for individual students. We finally had only 6 desks out of the original 30 by mid to late September. I placed a tablecloth over these after we emptied them and gave the remaining students cubby bins. Now that all students had a bin on one of the bookshelves against the wall they no longer wanted the desks.”
