As you can see, my classroom has a lot of space around the desks. I picked this deign because it is very easy for the whole group of students to see the teacher and the front of the room where the whiteboard is. Having space around the desks also allows to form different shapes for different activities. A shape I could switch the desks to would be a “U-shape”. The horseshoe shaped desks allows the teacher to walk around to each students individually if help is needed. There is plenty of space behind the desks as well as in front of them allowing the teacher to come from behind the students or stand in the center “u” to show examples.

To make these students comfortable in your classroom, you should have a general understanding of their backgrounds before you meet them. A major detail of having diverse learners in your classroom is planning extra time for certain activities.

At the end of the day, the students will pack up their bags and wait patiently for their bus number to be called for dismissal. During this time, students can talk with friends quietly, find a silent reading book and sit in the reading center, or even draw a picture in the art center. As the busses are being called, I will stand at the door with flashcards. On the flashcards will be a sight word, or just a word, when a students’ bus number is called, that student must tell me what the sight word is or tell me how many syllables are in the word. They must answer the question correctly to leave the room. If the student misses three words in a row, they can leave but they have to do it again when they walk into the classroom the next
