Design and set-up is crucial in an elementary school classroom. My goal as a future Special Education teacher for elementary school students is to make my classroom as engaging and entertaining as possible, by using bright colors, big titles on each bulletin board or station, and showcasing my students' work around the room. I want to have separate writing, reading, math, and geography centers throughout the classroom; each center having various levels which students can choose from based on their level (beginner, intermediate, advanced, etc). In the image above, this teacher created a warm reading environment. It's very important to inspire your students to read and get them excited about writing and reading many different forms of literature. This picture really draws in my attention because it has separate buckets for each kind of book, which emphasizes GENRE. There are buckets for biographies, science books, riddles, poetry, fantasy, historical fiction, realistic fiction, world travel, mystery, and much more. Introducing students to various genres at a young age is a great way to teach them that the possibilities of book types is, in a sense, endless (and very exciting).
