After the observation

Think about why the classroom layout is organized as it is. Ask your
MST why the desk/tables are arranged as they are and the function
of each area of the classroom.

First of all, I like my teacher classroom style; she organizes all things such as she put
the computer near that board because it is easy for her to present anything and the
table of a teacher is inside food class. Each class have this room, It is only for eating,
they have explanation place, In this location kids are learning and see the board also,
they have reading and math corners. Reading for read stories but math about the
numbers, next corner is role-playing, Children in this corner should do the story about
what they learn and present it inside this neighborhood. Moreover, planning, and
technology corner. In this area, kids will use the computer and if they need anything
they have material in their class. Finally, sciences and nature corner in this corner kids
will know about science, for instance, flower, and tree.
