Make Your Classrooms a Child Friendly Classroom

Make Your Classrooms a Child Friendly Classroom


Throughout their childhood, children will spend on average 30 hours per week in their
elementary school classroom.  In a perfect world, the physical environment of a classroom would
promote learning, enhance academic achievement, and facilitate appropriate behaviour in and
between students.  The ways in which children perceive their surroundings greatly affects how
they will perform; therefore, it is imperative that instructors and administrators thoroughly
examine the physical environment of elementary school classrooms with an eye toward making
improvements that will benefit the teaching and learning therein.
