EDEL 3250-01 My Ideal Classroom

When i pull up to my future school every morning, I want to see a nice big building with lots of smiling and happy children and fellow employee's. While im walking down the halls to my classroom i want to see walls plaster with students' art work and accomplishments, so they know and see the value of their work. When i get into my own classroom, I want to see a nice organized colorful, welcoming, and learning friendly room. Where students can feel important, safe and comfortable with their surroundings. I want to see my students interacting with eachother. I want my students to have their own belongings organized in their desk and their own space to work comfortably. I want one corner in my room dedicated to a reading area filled with bean bags, pillows, couches, plants and a large volume of books stacked nicely on the book shelfs. I also would love to have a class pet, I think it would be fun to vote as a class on different class pet possiblites and get the favored one to keep in the class. I want my students to show each indivdual personality, I want them to be themselves and not fill like they have to blend in with the crowd. However, I want them to be respectful of me and their fellow classmates. I want my colleauges to be friendly and fun and good teachers and good to work with. I want to get along well with everyone in my work enviroment and get together as teachers and plan fun group activities and think of ways we can all get together for fun learning activites with all of our students together so wer are not resticted to our class only and everyone can get to know everyone.

I want to teach a young age so I can teach my students the alphabet, how to read, writing, spelling, singing, colors, art and how to interact with one another. I would definatly utilize the computers I would love in my classroom to have kids to interactive activites so they can learn in many different ways not just from me teaching up front. My goals for me and my classroom would be to have a happy friendly teaching enviroment that my students love to come to each day and know they will be accepted for them and love to come each day. I also want to make sure I teach them to the best of my ability so as they go to the next grade I know they will be prepared.

Also while watching this weeks video on the internet, I think that internet users should not have to pay for time online. I think that its foolish, and things should be kept the way they are. I like the idea of the video though, I thought it was informational and interesting. I also think it would be good to use in my ideal classroom, I love when teachers mix in different teaching stratagies it keeps things interesting and fun.
