You are to create an environment for students that will nurture their explorations, language, and ideas.

The types of materials in a classroom and the way in which they are organized convey important messages to students. A room that is attractive, cheerful, orderly, and filled with interesting objects conveys the message: “This is a comfortable place where you can explore, feel safe, and learn.”

This Is a Good Place to Be:·
  • Neutral colors (gray, off-white, beige) are used on walls, and bright colors are used selectively to highlight interest areas or mark storage areas on shelves.·
  • Furniture is clean and well maintained·
  • Wall decorations are largely made up of students’ work and are displayed attractively at their eye level and with large spaces of blank wall so that children are not overwhelmed.
  • The classroom layout needs to work for both the teacher and the learners.-
  • Plan for various types of spaces for groups, such as rugs and tables, that:-
  • Provide space for work-
  • Promote student-to-student interaction in small groups
  • Create small well-defined, student-friendly/cozy spaces that encourage interactions.
  • Traffic patterns for easy movement for the students.
