Group 1
Direction: Give at least five ways in organizing the physical environment
in multi-grade classroom.
Group 2
Direction: Give at least one reason why it is necessary to organize the
physical environment of multi-grade classes, explain further your
reason.
Group 3
Direction: Give at least five things to consider in planning/designing a
multi-grade classroom for efficient use of classes.
The physical environment refers to the
overall design and layout of a given classroom
and its learning areas. Its preparation requires
organizing the space, furniture, and resources
to maximize learning opportunities and
students' involvement.
The essential areas of multi-grade classrooms are as
follows:
Group Instruction Area - This is where the class discussion

and group work happen. The teacher works with a group or
groups of students to fine tune their learning.
Individual work Area - This is where students do independent

work. Students stay in this area to get ready for the next
subject or activity.
Teacher Work Area - This is where the teacher plans and

prepares the lesson. Important records and documents are
usually placed in this area.
The essential areas of multi-grade classrooms are as
follows:
Additional Area - You may find that, in addition to the areas

we consider required, other areas are necessary to cater the
needs of the students. Some of these are the reading area,
arts and crafts area, resources and materials area and
personal hygiene area.
General guidelines that may be applied to most multi grade classroom:
1. Divide your classroom space to different areas based on the activities
that will possibly occur. When doing this, consider learners’ age and size
differences.
2. Allocate an area for teacher-controlled resources.
3. Chairs, desks or tables can be grouped together for collaborative work.
4. Make use of low cupboards, cubbyholes or partitions to divide the room
into different areas. Be sure that if you do this, you can see all the learners
in the classroom.
5.Review your floor plan considering the class traffic patterns. With minimal
disturbance, learners must be able to move from one location to one another.
6. Be ready to transform your classroom when needed.

Classroom floor plans:
FIGURE 1: self-contained classroom FIGURE 2: self-contained classroom
(organized by area of activity) (organized by cooperative learning)
Classroom floor plans:
FIGURE 3: Comprehensive classroom FIGURE 4: Self-Contained
Classroom Layout (Organized for flexibility)
The actual organization of the physical environment of a
multigrade classroom will depend on the space available,
furniture type, the subject or topic being taught and the
teaching strategies used. A multigrade classroom should not
remain in a fixed position.
