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.
