Classroom Tour:

The Centers Room

The Skipping LaughThink happy thoughts!

Here is the slideshow of my centers room. My students get about two hours of free play in here each day.

The view from the back of our room.

Art CenterThe art center is located on a tiled section of our room. You

can’t see it in this picture but our drying rack is located next to the easel.

Art supplies are labeled with words and photos. Paper is located in labeled drawers beside the easel.

Toys and Games Center(We do not load our shelves as we have a very large

storage room. We change our centers out every month.)

Blocks CenterLegos, lincoln logs and other small blocks are located in tubs on the two empty shelves you see. They were being used in our Santa’s Workshop center. The drawers store our people,

vehicles, furniture and animals.

Discovery CenterI would like to get more shelving for this center as it is

currently very limited. I do love that it is surrounded by our floor to ceiling windows!

Library CenterOur library center is located away from some of the noisier

centers to provide my students with a quiet place.

This is Bronco! He was a Christmas present to my classroom from my mother. She found him at Sam’s Club. He is

incredibly cuddly!

I recently found this adorable tent at Walmart for $15! We use it as a privacy center. I also got a puppy, a

monkey and a dino. My students love them!

Water & Sand CenterWe love to take our water table outside when it’s warm

so it is conveniently located next to our back door.

Literacy /Math Center and Writing Center

Various literacy, math and language toys can be found in this center. This center is located between our library

and writing centers.

Our writing center looks a little sparse in

this picture. It also has envelopes, clipboards,

etc. There are also word card sets (Our Class, School, Family

and Home) to encourage writing.

Dramatic Play CenterOur drama center is decked out for Christmas in these

photos. We change the theme of this center each month.

I will post some slideshows of the different drama themes we’ve

done throughout the year.

Locating this center near the cubbies has provided us with ample space to store all of our dramatic play items. Most of the cubbies have velcro in them to hang various

labels.

Music and Movement CenterOur listening center is located in our music/movement

center.
