Welcome! In this ideal scenario, I would have 22 students in my second grade classroom. It will be a warm and welcoming classroom set up to encourage collaboration. Students can work in the small group areas scattered throughout the classroom while utilizing tablets, books, and audio. The classroom is set up so that students can easily walk between different areas or centers during lessons in order to seek input or ask questions of their peers in other groups. There are no obstacles between areas ensuring that students can safely move between spaces. There are benches and beanbags in the carpeted area for students to sit comfortably and areas throughout the classroom where students can work in groups of various sizes. There are 2 whiteboards and a smart board in the bottom right hand corner of the classroom that all students will be able to see when we are working together. Materials such as journals, graphic organizers, and additional scaffolding for students will be placed on the red table daily. While many teachers take a very colorful approach to their early childhood classroom, I will have areas with a more subdued color pallet as I feel too many colors and items can be overstimulating and inhibit learning. There will be plants throughout the classroom to help create a peaceful and calm environment in the classroom. My school would be located in a middle class area with some diversity in the classroom. The majority of my students will be native English speakers.
