My Ideal Classroom

We have cubbies were students put their belongings. We have tables that either two to three students can sit and do their work or activities. A few ways to improve my classroom would be to have a few more educational poster like of nutrition, grammar (nouns, verbs, adjectives and etc.), separating the different elementary grade levels so they near posters that would benefit them and adding activity board where students can draw or use it. The positive things in the classroom is that the room is separated into two parts so kids doing homework is in one part and kids playing is in the other part. Also, having posters that are beneficial to what kids are learning in school and the individuals’ cubbies for each student and the

I want to build a sense of community were discipline problems can be prevented, children can feel safe, secure, nurtured and supported by the environment through thoughtful arrangements. The large amount of space in my classroom will be devoted to the arrangement of individual student desks the U-shaped desk pattern in my classroom will allow me to make eye contact with every student and reach each student with ease and this is also good for frequent whole-group discussions. I will provide open passageways through the aisles so the children can move around the room, this is essential for children in wheelchairs to have mobility. My classroom will have brightly colored posters, rugs and furniture such colors as yellow, orange, red and green will be on the classroom walls. I will have a bulletin board in the entrance for posting lesson plans, information about special classroom activities,

Kindergarten classroom of 25 students they all sit at tables that will hold up to six students, however I have them sitting 5 to a table for ease of grouping. Each table is a team labeled by a color, a large construction paper crayon hangs from the ceiling above each table, and they have matching crayon nametags on their desks. There is a Smart Board at the front of the classroom as well as a white board. My desk is at the front of the room to the right of the white board. Different centers are located around the room such as the art center, the math center, the reading tree is in the opposite corner from my desk. The room also has a single restroom and a sink and water fountain outside of the restroom. We also have circle area to the left of the reading corner

My eighth grade classroom is set in a Jr-Sr. High school and is located in the Jr. High hallway, in the rear of the high school. I have thirty-two student desks situated in rows and two small tables at the front of my room used for paper pick up. My desk and computer are in the back corner of the room. The students all have their own Chromebooks and I have a desktop computer as well as a Samsung Tablet. Google Classroom is used daily as well as many other applications suited for 1:1 schools. I also have a projector hanging from the ceiling and two large white boards located on the front and side walls of my classroom. The class that I will be focusing on in this paper is made up of 26 students, 15 boys and 11 girls. One student with learning disabilities, another is an ELL student. This class meets for 55 minutes.

I have the room more open and I don't have much closed areas so that the teacher is able to see everything that is going on. I put the round activity table in between the dramatic play area and any of the math or science manipulative that are on the shelves. I put a square rug that draws the table to the dramatic play area and to the shelves so that the children can play there. I made sure that the teacher chair was centered in an area where she could see the entire room to make sure that nothing is hidden. The teacher at the kidney table can work with the children at the table and still keep an eye on the rest of the day care. She has the ability to move both left and right of the desk for easier access to any of the centers. The art easel is in the center of the room so that the children can see it and are able to work at it, it also gives a great opportunity for the teacher to look at and encourage what the children are doing along with being able to watch the rest of the room. I put the computer off to the side so that it is not too big of a distraction for the other children her playing in different areas. The classroom design has areas such as dramatic play and a quiet Reading area with comfy chairs so that the children can have a center and can interact with each other and have enough space to interact with each other. I indicated the door by a red block. I made sure that there was space around the door and

The classroom should also have lightweight, moveable furniture can moved easily. This would allow the classroom teacher to reconfigure the room to meet specific instructional needs (UNC Charlotte).

I hope to create an inviting classroom environment for my students by making sure that my classroom is bright and cheery. I plan on doing this by making sure that the decorations and visual aids that I use in my classroom change with the season, but also that they change in subject matter also. I will make sure that all of my students feel welcome and safe by talking to them and listening to what they say and what they don’t say. I hope to also create an atmosphere that parents will want to visit and enjoy being in so that they will in turn want volunteer and help out the students which will also back the students feel more relaxed in. I hope to be allowed to arrange the desk in such a way that the students will feel more free to interact with

Ever since I have decided that I wanted to be a teacher, I’ve been dreaming about how I will organize my classroom. There are many things I’ve seen and learned from that make me want certain things in my future classroom. For example, the last block class I was in taught me that having a family space is important. You want to make sure that the parents and families feel welcome. After learning all about family spaces, that is something that I definitely want to make sure I have space for.

My classroom is of average size with plenty of cabinets for storage. I have a smart board, a projector and four desktop computers for student use. I have 24 student desks and a teacher’s desk with a computer. I put the desks in groups of five, to allow the students to be in groups and work collaborative. I have 2 additional tables that are used for centers, but also function as a space for students when they want to work by themselves. I have a classroom library with plenty of books in English and Spanish. This area has a rug for students to sit and stuff animals for them to read to. I also have a kidney shape table used during small group reading and for any other small group instruction. I have a rug in front of the smart board, where I conduct my whole group lessons. This area is also used during center time for the children to complete different activities. The classroom is decorated with student work and anchor chart to help kids apply the concepts and skills

Learning in a traditional classroom requires you to get up and get ready by a certain time. You must find a sitter, if needed, as well as find a job that will work around you school schedule. If you have a doctor appointment or need to do something important, you must miss class for that. You have to find the extra time to do your makeup work and anything that you missed. Learning in an online setting, lets you work on the everyday task. If you have a job that requires you to work long hours; you can come home after a day of work and go online to start your class. You have the options to work ahead a little on the online course, compared to a traditional class where you can only work on assignments handed out at the time. Online classes give

1. I would first take into thought the physical enviroment, I would want the class to be well lit and inviting. I would want their to be designed areas for play, or experiements, and even space for children who just need some quiet time. I would want the posters on the wall to either be of the kids art work or of their families and homelife. I would want to make the classroom as child based as possible. I would make sure all the toys are age appropriate, if they're infiant to toddlers I'd give them toys that are more based around developing their fine motor skills, older children I would give them more toys that they have to think while playing with to help them develop cognatively. I would want the craft area to be well stocked with

My classroom environment is designed in relation to the learning opportunities provided for students creating a positive, warm, and welcoming classroom environment. My classroom will foster a diverse atmosphere. This is important so each student may learn. I will have plenty of resources in my classroom that foster learning and allow students to feel comfortable. I will make my students feel comfortable in asking me questions. My classroom will be a tactile environment no items that will cause distraction to the students. I will also have items to help students relieve their anxiety. My classroom will foster student centered learning and students will be autonomous and will be able to work collaboratively on projects.

The overall functioning of a classroom is impacted by trust, safety, and consistency. When a student does not feel safe he or she will reflect this through his or her behavior. Trust is important for students to take risks and allow learning to occur in the classroom. Trust, safety, and consistency are beneficial in the learning environment. A classroom where students feel safe, realize the teacher is consistent, and trust is developed, will allow students to grow and change socially, emotionally, and academically. This will offer a positive learning environment.

For my classroom observation I had the opportunity of sitting in on a first grade regular education classroom. Listed below are the following that relates to the teacher’s classroom design.

The classroom is organized so that the student’s stuff and the teacher’s stuff should not cross paths. The students keep their materials in their cubbies at one end of the room, their pencil boxes at their seats, and their book boxes on the floor. The teacher’s stuff is located on her desk, and the back table where small group stuff gets done. The classroom setting is definitely positive and interesting because it has a minion theme. Children in that age range love minions most of the time and
