Ideal Classroom

My ideal classroom would be something like this....I love decorations, but organized, so my room will have lots of decorations on the walls as well as I enjoy watching children express themselves so there will be art work from the students placed about the room and displayed. The students desks will be in tables not rows as I find most students enjoy and can learn just as well from being grouped with their peers as well as in rows. Most importantly I want my students in a safe environment where they can feel protected and excel the best possible.

I like having order in the classroom so I will have boxes for assignments to go into and papers to turn into students. I see pictures on my desk, calendars spread about the room, a birthday chart, a reading area. I would love to build a "tree house" in a corner where the students can go and read or decorate and make it a classroom project. This area will be full of books organized neatly from historical, science, non-fiction, fiction etc.

I expect my parents to be envolved inside and outside of the classroom. I believe that if a student receives just learning at school they will not excel as much as possible. In order for students to constantly excel parents need to help them along the way until they are old enough to push themselves.


While watching this video my mind was thinking a million miles an hour. How crazy it was to me that the internet would be charged per time. I actually think this would be a great thing to do. I think it would help more children to go out and get exercise, go to the library and read and use other sources besides the computer. Not only for that purpose but I do feel like many children and adults are addicted to online games, and internet services. It would interest me to see how much a person would actually spend. Would it be similar to a cell phone? Would you still be required to pay the monthly internet fee plus your minutes fee? I also had mixed feelings about this subject. We live in a free country and therefor if someone wants to spend a lot of time on the internet that's there choice. I went back and forth about where I stood on this topic and came to the conclusion that I think the "experiment" is a great idea.
