Summary Of Ms. Mccray's Kindergarten

Ms. McCray’s Kindergarten Classroom at Ingleside Elementary school is set up a little differently than most classrooms because the classroom itself is one big room that holds two kindergarten classrooms within it. Her classroom is set up so that the student-centered area, their tables, and carpet, are in the center of the room, as well as the smart board and pocket chart which is in the front and center of the room. There are three different teacher work areas, this area is set aside for the teacher to work with different groups, is set up in a way that the teacher can see everything that is happening for the most part during individual group work when she looks up. The classroom rules and hand signals posters, as well as good behavior rewards
are posted at the back and front of the classroom. This set up makes it easy for students to see what they should and should not be doing when they are in class or the class is reviewing the rules , or even if the teacher refers a student to class rules. Classroom materials that are used daily are kept within easy reach of the students so that the students can be independent and get what they need by themselves without assistance. This set up helps the students become more accountable for their actions now and in the future.
