Accessing Classes from Google Classroom's home page

Google Classroom's home page displays all classes in which you are a teacher or a student. The classes are arranged like cards on the page. The next time you go to Google Classroom, you will first arrive at the home page where you can select the desired class, as shown in the following screenshot:
