# Creating Classrooms

> Set up your classroom to organize students and assign work

Before you can assign curriculum resources to students, you need to create a classroom. Workybooks offers three ways to set up your classroom.

***

## Creating a Classroom Manually

The quickest way to get started is to create a classroom manually.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Go to My Classrooms">
    Click **My Classrooms** in the navigation menu.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click Create Classroom">
    Click the **Create Classroom** button.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter Classroom Details">
    Fill in the required information:

    * **Class Name**: Give your classroom a descriptive name (e.g., "Mrs. Smith's 3rd Grade Math")
    * **Grade Level**: Select the grade (K-5)
    * **Subject**: Choose Math, ELA, or All Subjects
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create">
    Click **Create** to finish. Your classroom is now ready!
  </Step>
</Steps>

### Your Class Code

When your classroom is created, you'll receive a unique **6-character class code**. This code is how students join your classroom.
