One thing I've always known I wanted in my classroom is a calm down corner or a quiet corner. I would set it up similar to the picture below with comfy chairs, a rug, some enjoyable books and some posters or binders with strategies for relaxing. I think it is so important for students to have a place to go if they are feeling overwhelmed or upset so they feel like they are in a safe space.

I plan to have a lot of organizational bins set up similar to the ones in the picture below. I would label all the bins and use them for many things such as storage, late work turn in, cubbies for returned work, extra supplies, first aid, books etc.

Another thing I would like in my classroom is grouped desks, preferably in groups of 4. I think 4 is a perfect number for small group work, partner work and individual work without having to ever move desks around. I could group students strategically based on behavior or academics and even switch up the groups when it seems appropriate.

I plan to have a classroom library set up similar to the one below. I would use bins that are marked with the genre/subject on the front so students can quickly find books of their interest. I think is super important to have a classroom library in addition to the school library so students always have access to books.

I think it is so important to keep a daily schedule somewhere large so that every student can see it. I believe routines are so beneficial to students and help keep them on track throughout the day. It is also great for the students who do not deal with change well and need to know beforehand when we are about to do something new.

While it would of course be the school's decision to include this in my classroom, I would love to have smart board in my room. I think these are so fun and interactive for students in all grades. Not only can you play videos and show slideshows but students can also play games or interact with lessons.

I liked the style of this desk because it was in the shape of an L. I think it would be great to keep all grades/important documents on the desk along the wall, out of student's view. On the desk facing the room, I would keep a calendar, extra pencils/pens/erasers so if students come to my desk for help, there is room there for us to look at their work. I also liked that this teacher put extra storage at the end of the desk with shelves.

As with the smart board, the computer cart or iPads would be decided by the school I teach at. I think having a computer or iPad for every student is so beneficial. Students can do so much interactive learning on the internet and do so much research. As I learned in my Literacy class in Block 2, some students prefer to read on an iPad opposed to a printed book. Also, some students simply just learn better using technology.

I plan to showcase a ton of my student's work on the walls of my classroom. Like the Consider the Walls article mentioned, commercial posters can be very distracting and chaotic in a classroom. I think showing off students work is way more fun for the students and makes them feel good. I like the idea of the wow work board posted below. There is a spot for every student to showcase their wow work of the day/week.

I plan to have cubbies/hooks for student belongings such as coats, bookbags, water bottles, extra supplies from home, or anything else they would like to bring in. This will keep the room organized and make sure no one loses anything. I like that in the picture below, each student has a spot marked with their name and a small bin for them to keep things in that they do not want in their bookbag or on their desk.
