200-300 words

Research five
different elementary classroom environments. Take note of the materials
found in each environment and how the rooms are arranged. Map out three
different classroom arrangements that facilitate students working
productively individually or in groups. In creating your arrangements,
consider ease of flow of traffic consistent with age-appropriate
development of motor skills, social and emotional needs, and physical
activity of your students from the “Class Profile.” Your arrangements
can be hand-drawn or computer generated, but must be submitted in a PDF
or Word document.

Include a 250-300 word essay using three
scholarly resources regarding appropriate elementary classroom
arrangements. Explain your rationale for the space you designed. Justify
each item in your designs (e.g., materials, furniture, design elements,
how they are arranged).
