Introduction

The environment of a classroom serves as a motivational factor for the students. Motivation is a major aspect which influences the interest of the students. The way in which a classroom is organized and designed, also makes an impact on the students. A classroom can become a very cheerful and fun place to be if it is managed correctly. Maria Montessori describes the psychic development of the child as "creation", "construction" due to the activity exerted by the subject on the environment.
