Growing up in Jersey City and attending public schools, I have had friends who had parents or guardians that did not care. Their parents or guardians felt as if school was just somewhere their child had to be. I want the children to be in a happy environment. In my classroom I want my student's to know that no matter what there is always going to be someone who cares for them, and that someone is me. As a teacher it is important to guide my students to bigger and better opportunities. It is important for me that I make it clear to the children that no matter how hard something may be they can do it. I believe that if I show that I care about my students, my students would have no problem coming up to me if they have any questions or concerns. .
My preference is to become a first grade teacher. If I were to design my own classroom, I would first start off with my desk. I would like my desk to be right in front of the board, facing the children. It is important for me to be able to look at everything my students are doing so that no problems would occur. If the back of their heads were facing me, it would be harder to point out misbehaviors or things that may get them into trouble such as taking out toys or electric devices.
Next, I want to discuss my seating chart. The arrangement of seats would be groups of three, with the desks almost forming a triangle. Again, this goes hand-in-hand with me being able to see everyone's face, and what they are doing clearly. To make things fair, on the first day I would want my students to pick out their table number from a hat. The number they chose would be the table number they sit at for the rest of the marking period. Each marking period seats would be changed so that students will be able to interact with everyone before the year is over. .
I want to make my classroom very colorful and attractive. In the daycare I am currently working for, my favorite pre-k 3 teacher, Ms.
