In this classroom, us teachers work together to create an inclusive, welcoming environment so each student feels respected and supported. In our class, students will learn through group and solo work to build on collaboration skills and their independent learning. We believe that music and a positive attitude can set the tone for a joyous classroom, so we make sure to include activities that consist of that. Furthermore, we know it is essential to recognize and consider each students background in order to successfully teach them. That is why we work hard to get to know and represent each student. When it comes to communication, we like to be open and honest with the families, so that should there come a time for them to intervene they are aware and ahead of their students behaviors.

Finally, we’d just like to include that in this classroom we choose to use technology in a limited way to instead focus on hands-on activities such as reading, writing and building communication skills.

My Perspective of this layout is amazing for the kids to learn and circle desks for them to learn and have a wide open space for them to easily get in and out while teaching and they all can be with each otherAnd sitting next to each otherWith the kids who learn together the best and have the teacher come right up to each circle which is like amazing for each kid to have the experience and not get distracted and also have safe spaces around the classroom like beanbags come the cushions and having each station labeled like science areaMath area An art area so they can all have different parts of the room separated into different sections for them to learn and I feel like that's really important to have different layouts in the classroom so they all organized and when it's time for that class they can easily grab their supplies And when it comes to watching videos they can all sit at the rug and learn altogether in a circle
