MY IDEAL CLASSROOM

My ideal classroom will be full of color with work done by my students hung on the wall. It will have learning tools for the kids to use up on the walls such as a word wall for vocabulary, a math wall with the properties, and a science wall with the solar system. There will be big windows that allow a lot of light to get into the classroom. There will be a computer at every desk. The desks will be in groups of four and students will change seats every month or so in order to get to know everyone in the class. It will be an organized classroom, but a place where the kids feel free to make messes while learning. There will be a small corner for a classroom library with bean bag chairs and great books galore. There will be a play corner with learning games and games for fun. There will be a corner where my desk is, a sink with running water for the children to stay clean and wash their hands, and also a small room with a bathroom in it so the students do not have to leave for long potty breaks. It would be a place where students feel free to be themselves and always loved. Everyone would have a different personality, but united because we would be working towards a common goal. And that goal would be to learn and grow. I will be a student-centered teacher that focuses on my students and how they learn best. I would teach in many different ways: visual aids, reading, lecturing, group-work, and hands-on. I will walk around the classroom among my students and listen to their conversations and help them one on one. I will be very involved with my students. My students will feel free to ask questions and question me when they don't agree with me. They will not ever feel looked down upon, but we will all be equal. I will have a projector in classroom to teach with videos, internet, etc. I will also have a smart board where the kids will play interractive games and learn together. The computers at each desk will be used for research, learning, testing, and more. My students will learn how to make powerpoints and utilize the computer to teach other students. My classroom will be a place filled with students at many varying levels, but not a single students will never feel "dumb." They will help one another and learn from each other. I will teach every subject. Math, reading, writing, social studies, science will be among some of the subjects I teach. I will teach with my heart and discipline in a productive way that teaches a lesson. My students will not just learn the curriculum, but more. They will learn how to interract with others and become the best they can be. The main class goal will be to learn something new each day and leave with a greater knowledge than when they came into the classroom.
