The Melrose School Of New York City

I keep the room neat to encourage the children to take care of their toys and other belongings. I label each shelf with pictures of the item and the item name to assist the kids in recognizing items and learn the new words, labeling also helps them remember where things go. Organization is key for my classroom. All table top toys are stored near tables, pillows and stuffed animals are kept in the library area to encourage quiet time. I make sure we have plenty of available wall space to hang up art projects, all art, posters, pictures, eat are kept at the children eye level.

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

The third grade class contained 30 students, some in which were ELL’s. The ELL students get pulled out at various times throughout the day. The classroom set up is arranged in 5 different tables that contain a cluster of about 6 to 5 students each. The students are placed at random but, some are placed far from students that they may not work as well together. Throughout the classroom, student’s work is up for display, inside and outside the classroom. Different students are given different jobs that they are responsible for each day. This allows the students to be active learners and hands on. The school makes each class have at least one

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

Fear and curiosity ran through my body. Stoller middle was my first school in the United States. I came all the way from India where everything was very different from here. My parents decided to bring me here because they hoped I will have a better future. I didn't have enough time to understand how schools worked here because when I got here the schools almost began. Rather than staying behind and trying to understand the school, my parents decided to get me enrolled.

She had a drawer on her desk for substitutes. Posters with things like the scientific method, main idea, clocks, schedules, alphabet with words that start with each letter, and the current spelling words were all on the walls. The teacher would have the students “take pictures” of things on the board to remember for test. For oral discussions students would clap when other students got the correct answer. For reading there were three groups going at a time. The group at the table with the teacher, a group listening and following along, and a group reading to each other while timing the reading to improve speed. When the other class of students came in she continued the work because her class and the other class follow the same lessons. The students from the other class were very respectful toward her and her to them.

In my classroom, I will differentiate learning by offering a variety of methods of instruction such as hands on models, cooperative learning, technology, lectures, group activities, independent learning assignments. I will also adjust delivery based on understanding of concepts. I

The classroom itself is divided into several different sections each with specific purposes. On one side of the room, there are ten desks in two rows of four and one row of two which face a blackboard. The blackboard is always covered with the morning message, which the students are meant to copy down in their notebooks, as well as various other posters and drawings. Currently there is a large scale drawing of the cover of Charlotte’s Web covering part of the board as this book is currently being read to the class. Each student is permanently assigned to a desk and there are name tags to ensure that the students know which desk is theirs. There are also sets of cubbies affixed to each desk where

All students have a different learning style and can benefit from hands on or real life activities in the classroom.

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

This way, the students tend to process the information they read from the text book, for a better understanding of the subject. They also exchange notes and class materials with each other. This way, they get exposed to more knowledge.

There were several separated areas in the classroom. There was a section for every subject to learn. All the children had personal space to be free or if they liked they could pick a partner to do group works.
