Placement 1
As you enter the classroom there are cubbies to your immediate left. On the other side of the cubbies is a book shelf of the teacher's books that are only used for her to read to the class. Next to that on the left side is the teaching assistant's desk, which is actually a horseshoe table. The kindergarten room I was in used six circle tables for the students to use, and in front of the large bulletin board in the back of the room was a large rectangular rug with the teacher's chair in front of that the students spend much of their time at, such as calendar time, story time, as well as where they go during transitional periods of time when the teacher gives directions.

Placement 2
My resource room is much smaller, and there are two sets of six desks pushed together each, and in the back is a reading area with a bean bag chair, and a bench with a book shelf full of organized books in between. On the opposite side of the desks is the white board, which has a horseshoe shaped table in front of it where students come to sit around the teacher and work with her. To the right is the teachers desk and computer, but to the left is a small table that has the teacher's computer and hover cam on it where the teacher is able to display the work underneath, and it shows on the big screen tv overhead so that the students can watch the teacher correct and work problems on their same paper.
