This is the set-up for my classroom. The pink stars represent the student tables where 5 students per table will be at. The orange stars represent all our storage in our classroom along with my desk, an oval table for small group, one-on-one instruction with me or an assistant, and also my chair for teaching when we are at the carpet. The green stars represent our carpet and smart board. You can put your mouse over the stars and they will explain what everything is in the classroom. :)
The reason I have my room set-up this way is I like that my desk is out of the way but also in front of the classroom to where I can see everything. I also put the student tables in the center of the classroom so the students can either sit at the carpet or at their desk and they are still able to see the Smart Board as well. I do have a small couch and table and chairs for a reading area for the students. There is a book shelf next to the small couch where the students can store their books they get from the library.Â
