Peter Walsh reminds us in this quote about our space, "The amount of space you have cannot be changed - the amount of stuff you have can." 2. My Bulletin Boards (My CAFE board, Homeworkopoly, 6 Traits Board, Writer's & Reader's Workshop, All About Me Board, etc.).Whole-Class Meeting Area (This includes my easel, rug, directors chair).The following things are what I think about in my plans:
#WEBSITE CREATION WORKSHOP CLASSROOM FULL#
If you have shelves for a classroom library full of books, set those up in your classroom first, and let the desks fill in where there is space. Experts recommend that you place the desks and chairs in the space LAST, and put everything else in your classroom space FIRST. If you've taught in the same room for many years or you are placed in a new classroom, you should think about the design of your classroom. Plan for the space that matches the way you want to teach.
It changed the way I thought about my own classroom, and I am thankful for that! 1.

Also, I enjoyed watching this video clip for Boushey & Moser's DVD entitled "Simply Beautiful: Classroom Design for Gracious Living and Learning." It is a six minute video, but it full of good information and things to think about when setting up our classrooms. The ideas listed here can be found in the book Designing Classrooms for Literacy: Spaces & Places by Debbie Diller. One thing we might not realize, but the way in which we set up a classroom and the things we put in it show everyone (parents, other teachers, your principal, and our students) what we value and care about and reflects our teaching beliefs and philosophy.
The summer provides a time for reflection, not only about what we taught and how we can teach a topic better, but it also provides a time to reflect on how well our classroom space worked for us and our students. When the summer comes to a close teachers are thinking about back to school.
