Classroom ** The way in which a classroom is organized for general lessons as well as small group activities creates an impact on the children’s education. It is important children have access to resources for example, posters on the walls around the room which feature different words, letters, numbers, sentences and so forth for the children to refer to during lessons. Creating a place for everything is important so children can easily access resources they have permission to when working alone or in groups during various lessons. It is important children understand where they should be at particular times and creating a task centre is a very efficient approach for both the teacher and the children. This is placed somewhere in the room where everyone has access so children can refer to there groups during particular lessons. For example, a child might be in yellow group and know that during literacy they are to sit on a particular table with their fellow classmates.

 * // Assessment:

//** There are various ways teachers can asses the progress and improvements of the children individually. Assessment is an important aspect of the children’s education for the reason that the children need to show they are learning in order to pass each year. Some of the ways teachers asses children are as follows.

__Rubric:__ develop criteria with certain levels the children aim to meet. Begin with asking the children to contribute to constructing the criteria. This method of assessing children’s work is a very versatile concept which can be used to assess any tasks, including those implemented during reading and writing lessons. __Running Record__: during literacy sessions, teachers sit with students and keep a running record of their reading, taking note of what they say, mistakes made and correct reading. Various areas are recorded which the teacher can use to focus on challenging areas with the child. The running record format covers areas including self-correction, repetition, insertion and other aspects of reading. __Observational notes__: talking with or observing students whilst taking notes about their learning. This type of assessment is effective for teachers to find problem areas children may have individually and focus on improving those aspects.
