It’s morning, and you walk into your classroom. When you look around, you see everything as you left it: windows, desks, books and shelves. What else do you see? Do you see children’s work on the bulletin boards? Are the walls nicely decorated? You think about other classrooms you have seen, and why you organised your room the way you did. There’s a lot to think about!
