Classroom Layout:
· My classroom is set up to best utilize the space for entire class work, small group work, and individual work.
· The teacher’s desk is at a centralized point in the room, from which all student seating/working areas are easily visible.
· Direct instruction using the SmartBoard (labeled projector on the diagram) will happen with the students in their desks
· The sofas will be used as a reward during individual reading times
· The TV will be used for more individualized work, such as watching Fairview videos
· The kidney table will be used for instruction when I feel that closer proximity to the student would be beneficial, or the project is more hands on
· The rectangle student table can be moved in front of the teacher’s desk when the additional table space is needed (particularly for hands on projects)
· The computer is a special center for the students. It is used for some individualized instruction, as well as given an option as a prize
· Carpeted and blinds (helps with signal-to-noise ratio)
