Creating a Comfortable Atmosphere

Creating a comfortable atmosphere for my students is one thing that I am very focused on . I want my students to feel ay home when they walk into class each morning and that they can share things with me in confidence. One way that I want my classroom to be comfortable is by allowing my students to speak their mind, within ceratin boundaries of course. While I don't want them to blurt out every comment that comes to mind, especially if it is potentially harmful to other students, I do want them to be comfortable enough to know that they can speak their mind and not be judged.

I would also love for my students to feel like the classroom is a place where learning is fun, not just a something that is drilled into their heads. I know that sometimes learning can be very overwhelming, especially for very young children. By making it fun, however, I thik that they will want to come to class every day to see what new activity I have in store for them. I am so excited about getting started with teaching and really putting my ideas to practice!
