The furniture and supplies will allow my scholars to thrive in a student-centered learning environment. My goal is to provide a non-traditional classroom setting by creating areas where my students can work together through collaboration or independently. I believe students thrive when they have the opportunity to learn in comfortable, safe spaces. The round table, carpet, (I already have the chairs) will create a collaborative space, where they could exchange ideas and work on projects together. This area will also provide me with a space in which I can support students in a smaller setting. Some students thrive working independently or in a quiet space, the black chairs and moveable laptop table will be another space for students to work on their own. In addition, the lamps will provide softer lighting which is not harsh on the eyes like the fluorescent lighting in most classrooms. The ceiling hooks will be used to place tan-colored material (that is translucent) to cover the brightness of the florescent lighting as well as hang college pendants from various universities on my college wall. I will also use the sides tables to place school supplies like pens, pencils, highlighters, post-it notes, and notebooks. My classroom will be inviting, inspiring, and a safe place to learn.
