In-Situ Classroom
For this in-situ experince I was in a grade 2 classroom, when looking around the classroom I felt like there was not many items on the walls promoting literacy. The classroom had very little words around except for an area about the fall and the calender/morning metting area with a message, schedule and dates. However even though their was not much on the walls all the containers and items were labled getting students to read when grabbing their supplies. The classroom was also filled with books of many diffrent genres and levels. Students all had books in their own cubbies and most were excited to be reading for this reason.
Literacy in my classroom
In my future classroom I will like to include many diffrent posters and things such as word walls to encourage reading in my students. This will allow students to always be reading something and learning new strategies for reading or other skills in school. My classroom will also be filled with books which i am already starting to slowley collect. This will allow me the ability to have every student excited to read about something. Each student will be able to look through the classroom library and find a book which suits their skill level and intrests them. If i am able to achieve that, promote literacy through posters, and through actively expressing my joy for reading the students will gain the motivation to pick up a book and get sucked in.
Another way I want to promote literacy in my classroom is by having a reading corner. I want this corner to be filled with a variety of seating options. I plan to layout my class in a way that gives every student a comftroble way to sit. I am hopping with this the students will be more willing to get comfy and relax and enjoy their book. If students dont feel comfortbale and safe they will be too distracted with other things to enjoy their book, by trying to build this space of comfortability I hope I can deminish this problem.
