At my field placement, a teacher upstairs covered her cabinets with vinyl that looks like wood flooring or wood panels. The vinyl gives the room a rustic, calming feel. This is on my bucket list for my future classroom. When you step into the classroom, the dim lighting and wood panels make you feel warm and invited.

Because I want to teach young students (Kindergarten), I hope to have a hands-on sensory table for students to engage in. I would switch out the sensory engagement with water, rice, sand, leaves, etc. I also would incorporate seasons, weather, nature, etc.

I have ALWAYS wanted to have something like this in my classroom. I love the idea of having something I can look at to see where students are/what they are feeling that day. And even though names are hidden other students can see that a majority of the class may be happy or maybe some friends are having a tough day.

I want me classroom to be encouraging, positive, and warm. I love color but calming colors to lessen anxiety and worry. I have attached pictures of ideas that I love for decorating the walls of the classroom. I also want a space to display student work. I envision myself changing this out frequently to display students hard work.

On my whiteboard, I always want to have a section for the daily schedule and objectives. I would like for the daily schedule to be magnetic so it can easily be changed/flipped. I want a space for daily objectives in each content area.

I would like a space in the classroom where each student has a cubby for their work. In the cubby, students can keep unfinished work, finished assignments, reading books, etc. In my layout, these are behind the long rectangle tables. I would have them at student height to give them easy access to their cubbies.

I would like to do a combination of stools and chairs in my classroom. I want to give students the option of different types of seating as long as it is being use appropriately.

I would like carpet spots for each student. If I use carpet spots, students know where they are supposed to sit and the area that belongs to them. They easily come off the carpet if they need to be moved around. If you push them in hard, the students can't pick at them or lift them up.

I want to teach Kindergarten and I really want an area in the classroom for dramatic play. I would like to have a kitchen, dress up options, etc. In my classroom, I want students to get the message that they can be creative, play make believe, use imagination, etc. I want to change the theme of the spaces throughout the year such as a pizza place, movie theatre, restaurant, market, bakery, etc.

I would like a bucket on each table or a cart next to each table with supplies. I want the supplies at each table or right next to the tables so students aren't having to constantly move around. I think it could be more convenient for students to have everything near them.

In the classroom, I want a designated space for technology. I want my students to have ample space to sit and not have to walk through cords. The idea is that this area is NOT cramped or squished. I want to have my technology lined up against one wall (front left corner of room).

I want to use a kidney bean table to pull small groups. I love this idea of having dry erase circles for students to use while working with me. I also want to keep organizational stuff behind the table b/c students will see that this is my personal area as well that they are not allowed back in.

I would like to have my own corner/area of the room for my desk and organizational space. I envision my desk in the corner with all of my storage behind it. Something like this picture. I love all the stacked shelving (tall) that saves space.

At the front of the room, I want a smaller table to teach at. This is where I would have all the things I need to access quickly while teaching up at the front. I love the idea of having a cart that can move with me around the room.

I really want to spend time/money in my classroom library. I envision something like this with benches, soft lighting, and many books for my students to explore. I would like lamps in this area, pillows, and a nice comfy carpet to sit on.
