| Setting Up My Classroom |
| After weeks of waiting, I finally got to set up my classroom! The principal walked me to my classroom, and I couldn't help but show how excited I was; however, when he left, I became instantly overwhelmed. All of the furniture was in the middle of the room and even though I had diagramed a couple of classrooms as requisites for my classes, this was the real thing. I took a deep breath, and then decided to call my aunt. She told me to take it step-by-step. First, I should just make a drawing of how I wanted my room to be. Then she told me to be practical. This would entail thinking about the traffic patterns, what was important to me (such as small groups), and being realistic of everyday classroom life. This was very good advice. I started drawing. After doing so, I got more confidence, and decided to actually arrange the furniture according to my specific needs. Although I know that I will rearrange, I feel as though I have accomplished what I wanted. I look forward to coming back to my room and fitting in all of the teacher texts and student workbooks that I will integrate throughout the year. Take it step-by-step! |
