Classroom Design
The classroom I have designed is for second-grade students. My classroom design is appropriate because I designed to meet all my student’s needs. Students will be able to pay attention to their teacher, stay focus in class, and interact with other students. The classroom design has a reading area, four round tables, four desks and one kidney table, and one square rug in from of the whiteboard. The Kidney table will be used during learning centers. As a teacher, I will take advantage of the station activities to work with a small group of students that are struggling in specific subject areas. Additionally, While designing my classroom, there were three things that I took under consideration; lectures, students’ engagement and collaboration. Therefore, instead of only having a single desk, I will have round tables. This seating arrangement will allow students to work either individually or in groups. Having grouped seating can enhance social interactions among students and make it easier for student collaboration. Student Collaborations is important because students have the opportunity to work with their peers to answer questions, work on projects and learn from one another. Also, it teaches students how to be a good listener, how to be responsible, and how to communicate with others. The classroom design meets the needs of all students. Firstly, the classroom round tables, decks, and furniture are arranged to avoid students bumping into each other and others’ student belongings. The student will have plenty of space to move around without disrupting their peers. Secondly, the walls of the classroom will have anchor charts, students' work, and diagrams to reinforce in-class lessons and support students' learning. Everything will be organized with enough space between displays and at least 20% of the wall space will be clear. All this is important to keep students away from learning distractions. The walls will feel warm and lively, but not crowded. Finally, everything in the classroom will be clean, well organized and labeled.
