My Ideal Classroom

My ideal classroom would be:

It would be very bright and decorative. I love color and I don't like to be in a dull room so I wouldn't expect my students to be in a dull learning environment. I would have one board with a scene made for whatever month it is, a rewards board, and a get to know one-another board. The get to know one another board would have pictures of all my students and some information that they shared underneath the pictures.

The desks would start off in rows facing the front of the classroom. Changing the desks how they want, will be a reward as long as they can still pay attention. My desk would be in front of the classroom, more to one side than the other so that I can keep an eye on the classroom when/if I am sitting. There would be a reading section in the back of the classroom with bannanna chairs and a couch, with a variety of books that the students could choose from. We will aslo come here for a half hour a few times a week for when I read them a book that they choose.

My students will all know when its ok to goof around and have fun, but they will also know when it's time to be serious and pay attention to what I'm teaching. Overall, they will be very good students and they'll appreciate what I make them do in class as they get older and start going through school.

That's what my ideal classroom would be like...well what i'm thinking it will be like in the future.
