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. :

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.
ReplyDeleteThe 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 :)
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! (:
ReplyDeleteI 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.
