Make a plan for each section of the classroom and EXACTLY what you would have in the room
play area (blocks, toys, dress up, etc.) – 5 items and why you chose those items
reading area – 10 books and for EACH book (title, author, ISBN) tell me why you chose the book
how to welcome different cultures within the whole classroom – 5 elements
For example:
Dress up area – (name of toy or item) – (reason for the choice of this specific item)
Books – Title, Author, ISBN – reason this book was chosen ( DO NOT write a summary)
