We have several Learning Centers in the classroom.
These defined areas allow children to play and explore materials either individually or in small groups.
Library: In the Library children explore the world
of books and feel safe and secure as they are introduced to reading. Brightly
illustrated children's books are displayed on low shelves.
Blocks/Lego: Legos and Wooden Blocks of different
shapes, sizes, small cars and an assortment of "little people" to encourage
children to build replicas of their world, or creations of their imaginations as
they practice symbolic representation. They are developing an understanding of
the relationships between size and shape, and the basic math concepts of
geometry and numbers.
Dramatic Play: Children experiment with different
roles as they explore the familiar and the unknown through pretend play. This
area is filled with props and dress-up clothes to encourage imagination through
play. One day it might be a kitchen; the next day it might be a post office,
restaurant, or bus. Children learn to work with other children and to share.
Discovery Sink: Children are able to explore the
Seasons and Monthly Themes in what was once a Kitchen Sink…
- Winter the sink is filled with polyester craft batting
- In the Spring Green Easter grass
- The Summer is sand
- In the Fall we have straw
SAY CHEESE!!!!!!!
Do You Like My Hat?
Play gives children a chance to practice what they are learning.
