CLASSROOM ENVIRONMENT

Welcome to Mr. Fields math class! Upon

entering my classroom, an observer will notice
first the order and balance of the classroom. The

will allow students to easily conduct group
activities and make it easier for them to see me
and allow me to walk around while lecturing.
The board will have the days target, planned
lessons for the day, any activities to be completed,
