(Pictures to come)
I can't wait to see how the room becomes yours, as the walls become filled and colored with your beautiful work!
In the Reading Nook we can cozy up with a good book, and possibly a friend. Here, we will practice reading strategies and develop a love for stories and where they can take us.

In Dramatic Play we practice real life situations. We will learn a lot of important social skills in this center. We will practice sharing, taking turns, cooperating, problem solving, negotiating, organizing, and planning. We will use math and literacy skills as we create job and life situations according to our interests, inquiries and changing projects.

In Blocks we plan, collaborate, problem solve, create, design, and test. Concepts of cause and effect, stability, balance, gravity, and force and motion will be discovered in this very important center.

In Book Making and ABC we will practice writing in many authentic ways. Inspired by the study of our favorite picture books, we will write, illustrate, revise and publish stories.

In Science we will examine natural and man-made objects, related to our units of study in science, using tools such as magnifying glasses, a microscopes, mirrors, lights, and scales. We will record and share our informative observations.

In Art we will explore paint, pastels, watercolor, stamping, weaving, paper folding, and much more. These important activities will help us develop motor skills, language, decision making skills, and creativity.
|
In Math, our explorations, games, comparisons, measurements, sorts and pattern making will help us develop a strong math foundation.

In Social Studies we will learn about ourselves and cultures around the world. Maps, globes, atlases, travel brochures, books, historical artifacts and many other items make this center highly interesting.
