Future Classroom

PART 1: Classroom Layout
The classroom that I made would be a 1st-grade classroom. I have placed tables and groups of 4 students at each table. I have a semi-circle roundtable for teacher time group work. I have my desk on the opposite side of the room. My classroom has a rug for the morning meeting and group lessons. It has many different options for the students to use during reading such as the bean bag chairs and the corner meeting area. It has a bathroom in the classroom and has multiple places for storage of the children belonging (jacket, bookbag, etc. and another cubie for there works to go into once complete. My classroom will have a smart board and whiteboard in the room. No computers, the students will have laptops to use if they need to. :

  1. Hi Danielle, I found it interesting that you said you would have a desk and a semi-circle table for group...only because in the classrooms I have been in lately the teacher desk is the small group table, but this made me remember that the previous school I worked with in Okinawa had both teacher desk and group tables. I think that I would like that idea better than having it all at one location.
    The procedures are good, I am using a symbols with the fingers instead of raising the hand, that way I know exactly what the student needs :)

  2. I love your floor plan! I am one that needs a lot of space to move around, and I like to be able to have plenty of open space, so this plan is perfect for that. Your set of rules was really good too, and including your procedures was very informative. Looks like you are prepared and ready to roll! (:

  3. I also said I would have a desk and a U table. I like having my own personal space where I know I can put things. I also like the idea of using a teachers desk as a reward token.

Behavior Management

The classroom management style used in my field experience classroom is a school-wide behavior management chart. Each day the students start on the color "green" throughout the day they can either move up or down the chart based on their behavior. If the teacher needs to tell the student to stop what they are doing more than once or twice the student then has to go move their clip down on the chart. When students are listening really well, being super quiet, or doing what they are supposed to without the teacher telling them she will have him move their clip up. Students who receive "pink" get VIP privileges the next day and get the sit at a special table instead of their normal seat. Whichever color the students get is marked in their take-home folder at the end of the day for parents to see. Each color is also worth a certain amount of classroom money that the students can use to do fun activities like watching a movie at the end of the 9 weeks.  STO...

Module Twelve

Coordinate Grids The websites that I explored were:  Gregs Grid Graphs- I thought this site was a good one. It has the student first figure out the coordinates by matching the letters to the coordinates. The it shows the points with letters and the students need to write out the coordinate. One thing I notices though is that it states that the coordinates are written with parentheses but when the site has you write out the coordinates it doesn't allow enough typing to do so. This could confuse students in the long run and not use parentheses.  Stock the Shelves- I think students would think this is a fun game to play. It makes you be completely accurate on clicking your points, if you are even a little bit in the box and not on the center of the 2 lines it counts it wrong. This is something that students could do to practice to make sure they are understanding where coordinates are. This also includes negative coordinates so it would probably be better for students wh...
