3c) Think about The idea of learners being ‘active’ learners.

 

The classroom organization is very important for the learners to be active. While the classroom have all the materials the learners need and the environment around them that encourage them to be active and creative. For example in class KG2B the tables arrangement help the students for easy movement also it’s arrange in the way all students can watch the smart board easily. The color of the class gives them the energy to do best. There are many areas at the class each area have the materials they need to do their tasks in good way for example the reading area have a small library with books and a small carpet they can set and read, also in Learning center they have a comfortable tables with the papers and materials they need to do their tasks its kept inside a shelf so all students can reach it. In the circle or in the carpet area they sometimes sing and dance so the area is comfortable. In my opinion this areas is very important because each area have a special them and a special materials so the learner do his best when he feel comfortable.
