What makes a good classroom

A good classroom set up should be educational and fun at the same time. Make sure there are colorful posters and boards around the room to engage students attention but not so much that it is distracting.




A good classroom should also contain many resources. Recourses for the students and the teacher. There are also many different ways you can lay out your room. Different layouts may work for different classes depending on the personalities you have. You just have to make sure that the children can all focus easily without being distracted by others.



My first time in the classroom I felt very comfortable. The classroom was really nice. It was fairly large, larger than any classrooms I had in elementary school. The desks are set up in rows facing each other. They switch them around maybe once a moth or so. There are all sorts of things you can do. Cabinets and shelves filled with the typical “teacher supplies”. There are multiple bulletin boards. One is for the star student of the week, one is for their centers. There are about 5 different color coded groups, each day the different groups all have a different center. Another bulletin board is for lunch count and attendance. Another is for artwork that the class does. Right now there are a whole bunch of Rainbow fish up there that the kids made. One up by the front of the class is for calendar time. There is a table over by the teacher’s desk where she does center time with the kids. There is a table in the back corner where I work with them o crafts of play games. Then there is another table where parents will sit and work with the kids if they come in to help. Along one whole wall there are baskets of books labeled A through Z. Each kid is at a different letter or level and that is the basket they are supposed to read out of. I really liked the spaciousness and the colorful decorations all around the room. It made it very inviting and it wasn’t too overly crowded so you couldn’t concentrate.
