I love to see a literacy-rich classroom; it shows me that active learning is taking place! The classroom I fulfill my practicum hours in is definitely a literate environment J! The children’s work, alphabet, North/East/South/West signs, and a word wall drapes the walls of this literacy-rich classroom. There are easily-accesible categorized books as well as leveled books surrounding the room, there are literacy centers every single day, and there is a clear itinerary written on the board of their schedule every single day. There is a daily standard for each subject posted on the wall each day, the center activity is written with a picture and the center number every single day. There is also a calendar wall with calendar, today, tomorrow, and yesterday with a sentence strip for all of the days of the week and a pocket chart to place the day of the week in the right spot. There is also the names and pictures of coins, a number line, and a job chart on this wall. The teacher makes a unit box on the whiteboard (to model) and the children write on their individual whiteboards with “What is today” and write the notation, “how many students we have today,” and “how many teachers we have today.” The students’ names are also posted in multiple areas of the room and there is a nametag with the alphabet on each of their desks every day. The word wall is added to every week with high-frequency words that they have learned.
