Beliefs About Classroom
Environment
School is our home away from
home! It is where I and the students
will spend the majority of our time.
Physical Environment, how the room
is managed, how procedures are
executed, and how students feel and
react to our classroom.
Room arranged for easy access, and
comfortable for students needs.
Run smoothly and effectively.
Feel loved and safe.

 Detailed List on How the
Teacher will Greet Students
I will great the students every morning with a big
smile and will ask them how their evenings or
weekend were. I will then direct them to put their
belongings away in the coat closet where their
name is labeled, and then sit at the seat with their
labeled name tag and begin the bell ringer that is
on the board. Then before the class begins the
instruction I will ask the students if they have any
questions on their homework, I will tell them the
upcoming events, and I will also allow them time
to talk about their weekends and their favorite
part about school is so far.
