The arrangement of Mrs. Roark’s room is very welcoming. She has her room set up like a library and the children are in the center of it. The walls are surrounded by literature and there are books already the room. She has several lamps that are on in the classroom so during calendar time, independent reading and other reading time Mrs. Roark sets up the room so that it is comfortable for the children to read.
The setup of the classroom is very important because if it does not welcome the children to learn then the children are not going to want to learn. There is literate richness around the whole classroom. When the children are done with their work they are allowed to either read a book that they have or they are allow to go right outside the classroom to shop for books. Surprisingly, a lot of the children like fishing their work early so they can shop for new books to read.
I would have to agree that I like the arrangement of Mrs. Roark’s room the only thing is I would add would be a corner in the room where the children can get away to escape everything in the classroom to read. So I would add some bean bags and some comfortable pillows to encourage comfortable reading.
