Classroom Environment

Classroom environment plays an essential role in literacy learning. The classroom set up and design should facilitate literacy learning in the classroom. At the beginning of each school year I am intentional in my design and set up of my classroom. As the school year develops and I get to know my students the classroom is flexible and changes to meet the needs of my students. Areas that best support literacy learning: guided reading table library: books of all levels to meet student needs writing table: different materials and supplies to meet the needs of students phonics table word wall technology table flexible seating arrangement carpet area for whole group learning
