Our Creative Centers I create different centers that are open
for exploration throughout the classroom. These centers change
weekly/daily along with the theme. The children work
cooperatively to reach developmental milestones and school
readiness through exploring, experimenting, and repetition.
Creative Arts....This is huge in my center. Each child learns
color and how to make colors, texture, design, and motor
control. They learn through doing and exploring. The easel is
always accessible and I rotate different small activities like
the melting tray, chalk boards, salt trays, bingo daubers etc.
We also have our project of the day to go along with the theme.
Language....Language is throughout the room. It's where literacy
and early reading skills start. It's on the walls using words,
in the reading corner with books, at the writing table, and
between the children during their conversation and, yes, even
arguments. These experiences enhance communication, listening
skills and self-control. Math, Manipulatives
