My Perfect Classroom

When I envision a perfect classroom, what first comes to mind is color. Bland classrooms with nothing on the walls, no artwork, and simply filled with desks do not promote a positive learning experience. I want my students to enjoy learning; to find both the power and the fun that it brings. Therefore my perfect classroom will be drenched in color; from bright wallpaper to student artwork, my classroom will, hopefully, promote the intellectual capability and growth of my future students.

In addition to color, a perfect classroom should have a number of other items. An in-class library, hung student work, a sign-in sheet, perhaps different centers around the room that promote different subjects of learning, all come to mind. I believe the most important thing for an elementary school classroom to have is the exceptional ability to engage and interact with the students. I want my classroom to surround my students with a multitude of different subjects to tap into their imagination and bring about their innovative ideas.

Finally, a perfect classroom must always have a capable and passionate teacher. It is imperative that the teacher promote his or her own love of learning, whilst simultaneously meeting the needs of each individual in the classroom. Students will emulate this passion, feel important, and want to succeed.
