Chapter #1: Organizing your classroom and materials

This chapter talks about the setup of a teachers classroom. They talk about the importance of placement of desk, bookcase, computers, etc. It also talks about the importance of different aspects of classroom management like plants/ pets, bulletin boards, work areas, and placement of materials. These are all aspects of teaching that can easily be overlooked but are very important.

I think that all this is very important to keep in mind. One part that I thought was really important besides room placement is putting plants in a classroom. The teachers in my classes that had plants made their rooms less like classrooms. Plants add a home aspect and make the classroom more comfortable.
