My Classroom

ELNG 310 Portfolio Activity Week 9.1

My Classroom

I will have many areas in my classroom to incorporate literacy. Literacy is an important part of a classroom and a student’s experience at school. I will have many books in my classroom on the bookshelves for students to help themselves. There will be a variety of all different interests and backgrounds. In the cozy corner, there are many places for students to sit and read as an induvial, with a partner or in a small group. I think this would be a relaxing area for students to go read when they are done with their work. There is also a teepee that is a good quiet area for students to read in. In the morning meeting area, I will read aloud. I will probably read books often in this area to go along with our lessons. I also love the idea of having a morning message that students write back to me in their journals. I think this is a great way to incorporate literacy into the classroom. The U table will be used for guided reading often. I will use it for small group reading with groups at different levels. I think this is a great way for students to build confidence and skill because they are in a group with others at a similar reading level. I also will incorporate technology into my classroom which we will use for reading and listening to books. When using technology there is a greater variety of books for students to choose from. In the cozy corner, I will have a word wall that we add to as a class. All of these aspects of my classroom will give students many opportunities to gain literacy skills. Literacy will be practiced every day by my students!
