My+Ideal+Classroom+Environment

I believe that having a safe and positive classroom arrangement/ environment is vital to each teacher’s success. With that consideration, the image below is my ideal classroom. The door is located on the bottom right of the grid. There is a clothestand beside the door for students to hang their jackets. There is an open welcoming space once they walk in the room complete with a spacious area rug and a clear sight of the teacher’s desk so I can welcome them. The teacher’s desk is on the top right corner with a fridge and storage on either side. There are shelves close to the front door for students to put their. The front of the room where the projector is on the top center of the layout. Students are seated in groups of four for easy small group instruction and activities. There is a kidney table on the back of the room for small group leveled instruction with a paraprofessional, speech language pathologist, etc. The Reading and Art Center is located on the bottom left corner of the room in the back so students can relax in a sofa or beanbag chair or on the circle rug designated when they need quiet time. There are a couple of bookstands by the circle rug for easy access on a variety of books. There are three computer stations towards the back of the room.
