I setup my Indoor classroom in a way where the students are the center of the classroom. The teacher’s desk is in the back because the teacher’s should not always be in the front of the classroom. The desks are setup in a collaborative way so that way the students can feel encouraged to work together since they will be the ones guiding their learning and this way, they can learn from each other. There is also different areas where students can sit for group work, reading time, or even just free time so they aren’t always sitting at their table. Bulletin Boards will be set up for the students to see what is going on and what the work they have done or that they will be doing.

I set up my outdoor classroom in a very simple way so that way it can just be a change of pace from the classroom. That way it can be set up for the students to be able to sit and listen for directions, but then have their picnic tables for working together. This way the students get to enjoy being outside and outside of the classroom, but being able to sit in a way where they can see the teacher and have the option to actually sit and do their work together. This way they can learn from each other and work together on the things they are learning.
