Physical Environment


 * Placement 1
 * I believe that the student’s physical environment is important to their learning and attitudes towards learning. Mrs. Kratzer has a hard room to decorate. Since she has students from different grades, it’s hard to put up posters or things having to do with the subject matter that is discussed. She does have some things up, like the disability rules for her math students. However, it is on the size of a sheet of paper that no one can see from their desks. I think that her room could be a bit more inviting and cozy. My future classroom will have everything inviting to students. It will be cozy, colorful, inviting, and helpful. Mrs. Kratzer doesn’t really have any transition ideas. I think a teacher should have some transition things in place. For example, when I become a teacher I will use a timer a lot. When kids are working on their spelling words I will tell them that I am setting a timer for 10 minutes and when it goes off it is time for math. I would also give them a five minute warning. I feel like this would help students to focus and stay on track.

 * I feel like this classroom is the perfect type of classroom. The walls, the floors, and the environment is really colorful, yet not distracting. It has the perfect amount of comfort, color, and helpful hints on the walls. There is a word wall of sight words to help the students. As well as some anchor charts on the wall. The size of the carpet is a perfect size for the room and for all of the students to sit on. The environment of the classroom feels like a safe and interesting place to learn.
