We use this area for eating and for art. Art could be a directed activity or a free option since materials are accessible all the time.At the back you could see our job chart: each child is assigned a helping chore (lunch helper, door opener, pet feeder....) and this helps to create our classroom community, where everyone is important.
This is our entrance and Writing Corner. At the end is the bathroom, clearly labeled. We also have parent information boards and art folder storage.
Here are the cubbies where children put backpacks, jackets, shoes and extra clothing
The library is where we find a relaxing corner. We have a comfortable sofa to snuggle while sharing a story with friends.
The arrangement of the room has a purpose. Behind the camera is the library, then we have our learning area (table toys, learning center). After that is the block and group area where we are noisier and at the end is our home area. Onthe side there is a chalkboard that at the moment was used with magnetic letters.
The Music Corner is loud and fun. The children love to use maracas as microphones, dress up and perform while checking themselves at the mirror.
Our playroom is designed to small children and the toys and furniture are accessible and made for their size. The areas are well planned and divided by short furniture to let the adults a clear view of all the children at all times. This is our Toys and Games area.
Toys are sanitized and rotate weekly to keep germs away and children's interest growing with different challenges or interests. Our Discovery area is next to the gerbil's cage. We feed them, sing to them and visit their house often,
Block and group area is at the center of the room and has plenty of space for building and moving around,
In the Dramatic area children love to imitate their family life by cooking and taking care of the babies.
At this area we also do laundry and ironing - At times, we add into the space different enrichment activities like, doctor's office, grocery store, restaurant, beauty shop
The changing table is next to the sink to make the sanity process easy to follow. Children in diapers have a labeled basket to keep their diaper supplies.
The outdoor is not a play area but is also a leaning environment place. Children have plenty of space to run, jump, climb and pump but they have quiet areas as well. We have water table, planting area, sand table and the club.
The first door in the shed is our club. We have a quiet area with doll house, finger toys, booksand plenty of boxes that we use for outdoor building and pretend.
Next to the shed is our patio where we have the water table, we use chalk and cool off on the shade
