WELCOME TO MY CLASSROOM
On this page, you will find my classroom library, ideal classroom design, and my favourite technology resources! Click on the circles to jump to the section you would like to view.
Classroom Library
These are some of my favourite books that I have collected or would like to add to my classroom library. As diversity is important to me, I choose books that represent the diverse classroom, community and world we live in. Including diversity related to gender, ethnicity, socio-economics, culture, religion, language, disability and students’ conceptions, needs and areas of interest.
Classroom Design
I have illustrated my ideal classroom spatial and physical organization of the classroom. The diagram includes important elements that I value in an elementary classroom.
Groups of 4 seating: To promote collaboration and a harmonious work environment.
Flexible seating: Giving students flex seating options to adapt to the needs of students.
Calming Corner: To give students a space to destress, relax and refocus when needed. Can also be used for mindful meditation/breathing time.
Mindful Activity Shelf: Having mindful worksheets such as colouring and reflections. It can also include extra worksheets or challenge worksheets for early finishers.
Reading corner: To promote reading throughout the year (books change seasonally and include all cultures). It can also be used during individual reading time, during class story time, and a space for small groups/centers.
SMART Board/whiteboard: Using a mix of technology and traditional pencil and paper.
Windows/plants: Natural light and nature within the classroom walls; having plants that the students take care of.
