SETTING UP YOUR CLASSROOM…….


Tip #2: The first thing you should do is create a floor plan. Decide where each section of the classroom is going to be, and organize the shelves accordingly. Take in careful consideration to minor details.

Some questions to ask yourself:

Is the Practical Life area close to a water source?

Does the Math area have enough Floor space?

Does the Language area have enough tables?

Are there a enough options for children to work independently or in pairs?

How do you think the classroom will look when the children are actually inside?


Don’t try to do everything all at once. Start with one section. Setting up a classroom requires a lot of trial and error. Before putting ANY materials on your shelf, it’s important that you are content with your set up and it makes sense!

After you are done, make a layout for your classroom. This will be particularly helpful for your assistant and future classroom set ups.
