My 21st Century Classroom

My 21st Century Classroom

Since I was 16 I have wanted to be a teacher. I found my true passion while working at Cook Primary School and being with children from Pre-K until 3rd grade. To say I have dreamed about what my classroom will look like for years; would be an understatement. I believe my classroom will be an enviroment where children will feel at home. I would have my smartboard for many different reasons and most importantly to learn through fun technological ways. I would love to have children in groups so that they could learn to get along, share, and most importantly make friends. I love reading and I believe that it is the best way to open a child's imagination and open their minds to new ideas so in my classroom there will be a private reading nook that will be perfect for the children to read. I also love art, if there is anyway to use art to teach things I will use it so there will be an art corner for me to make new activities. Lastly, I would love a big screen so my children can webcam and talk to children from other countries. I have traveled all around the world and I understand how different cultures can help change a child's perspective of different cultures. It would be so nice, for my children to make friends with children in China. I know all my children will not be angels, but I will love them all in their own way. I believe my classroom will be strict but relaxed; homey, but organized. I have big dreams for my 21st century classroom.
