~MY FUTURE CLASSROOM~

My Future Classroom

I have always imagine about my future classroom would be. Growing up with a few relatives which is a teacher, allowed me to experience how a classroom is set up. Through the years, I have seen many things that set up in the classroom.

When I imagine about my future classroom, I see it as interactive and fun environment. The walls should be decorate with colorful mural which can attract the children. Besides that, the equipment like tables and chair is child-size which is suitable for them according to their ages and developmental.







In my future classroom, it should be divided into a few corners according to the subject that they will learn such as Mathematics, Science, Language, Music, Religion, Technology and many more. The corner should be interesting which provided many things that can be use in teaching and learning process.







Besides that, there should be a reading corner which provide many kinds of book includes magazine and newspaper that suitable for children. It can make children will spent some times to read.



Then, at outside of the classroom there are places for sand-play and water-play. Both of them also important in term of children development like cognitive, social, physical, language and socio-emotional development besides the subjects they learn in the class.




In order to make the classroom become great, everyone includes teachers, parents and childrens should work together and involve to make the classroom is the best for everyone. Even though, it would take some work, but it will success if everyone works together. I hope I will be a great teacher in a great classroom to make my students become successful!
