classroom
A room in a school building where lessons for a school class take place. It is typically equipped with desks, chairs, a board, and other teaching materials.
Nach der Pause gingen alle Schüler zurück in ihr Klassenzimmer.
After the break, all the students went back to their classroom.
The word is composed of 'Klasse' (class), in the form 'Klassen', and 'Zimmer' (room). The 'n' is a linking element that connects the two parts. Literally, it is therefore the room for a school class.
Das Klassenzimmer der 5b befindet sich im zweiten Stock.
Classroom 5b is on the second floor.
Pay attention to the prepositions: 'im Klassenzimmer' (in the classroom, dative) describes the place where someone is. 'Ins Klassenzimmer' (into the classroom, accusative) describes movement into the room.
Die Schüler sitzen ruhig in ihrem Klassenzimmer.
The students are sitting quietly in their classroom.
Common verbs used in connection with the classroom are 'betreten' (to enter), 'verlassen' (to leave), 'aufräumen' (to tidy up), or simply 'sein' (to be).
Nach dem Unterricht müssen die Schüler das Klassenzimmer aufräumen.
After class, the students have to tidy up the classroom.

Klassenzimmer clearly refers to the room where lessons take place. Schulklasse normally means the group of students, but it can more rarely also refer to the room. When talking about the room, it is best to use „Klassenzimmer“; „Schulklasse“ works there only in this less common usage.
Vor dem Unterricht stellt die Lehrerin die neuen Tische ins Klassenzimmer.
Before the lesson, the teacher puts the new desks in the classroom.
Vor dem Unterricht stellt die Lehrerin die neuen Tische in die Schulklasse.
Before the lesson, the teacher puts the new desks in the classroom.
