Hello class!
Every preschool classroom should have access to all the learning centers, for students to develop many key areas regarding their cognitive and motor skills. Nevertheless, there are certain limitations when it comes to space or resources in most of the schools.
Your objective in this entry is to think about your own classroom.
There is not enough space for you to set all the seven learning centers. Meaning you must choose only four of them that you consider to be the most relevant for children development.
Which are the four learning centers you would choose to have in your class?
- Music Center
- Art Center
- Block Center
- Writing Center
- Science Center
- Drama and Play Center
- Sand and Water Center
Every learning center that you choose to have in your classroom must be explained in two or three lines with the reasons for your decision to have in your classroom.

ReplyDeleteThe four learning centers that I would choose to have in my class are:
1) Writing Center.
2) Art Center
3) Drama and Play Center
4) Music Center
It is important that students apply their acquired knowledge by developing the exercises in written form, either by finishing the words or by finding words in the alphabet soup. The art center will help the student to build figures with concrete material, identify shapes, sizes, colors. It will also help to develop their motor skills, cutting, coloring or drawing. The drama develops in the student skills related to their classmates and teachers (orally), and also allows the teacher to identify the weaknesses and abilities of their students. The music center is important because the student can learn by singing some melodies related to the topics provided by the teacher, and also allows him to awaken interest in playing an instrument, which in the future can be one of his hobbies or his profession as a musician
I believe that each center will allow for better learning in the student, since the teaching is not only based on theory but in practice, it is important that the teacher is updated and that every day applies different teaching techniques, that the learning centers not only It has to be as requirements established by the authorities, they must be learning spaces, where the student learns something new every day.
My four learning centers that I would choose to have in my class are:
ReplyDeleteWriting Center: It is relevant because is a place where students can practice the various stages of writing.
Science Center:Because it helps the children learn to investigate the world around them. They’re practicing and exploring many important concepts in a safe environment.
Drama and Play Center:it is relevant because is a center just for pretend play, It’s always fun for the kiddos to play games together. Fun, cooperative play! children are learning a lot about themselves at this time.
Art Center: Some people maybe do not consider it relevant but I think that the purpose of this center in preschool is to let the kids explore their creativity. For this center, you might put out art materials the kiddos can use with minimal supervision.
My four learning centers are:
ReplyDeleteMusic Center: I think that this center is really important for Children, because stimulates thought and imagination, children learn the words of songs, they also become aware of the rhythms of language, music can provide opportunities for interaction with other children...
Art Center: This center provide to the child to be creative. Children can practice with color, texture and sedign, this gives to the children the opportunity to express their ideas, feelings and expand their creativity.
Writing Center: children here start to recognize letters and learn their shapes, they can practice writing on paper, air, sand, etc. These tactile experiences help them feel the shape and movement of the letters,It is also an essential way for children to learn to organize their ideas.
Science Center: Michio Kaku: "Children are born as scientists but are crushed by society and education". Science is an important part of children, the child manifests constant moments of curiosity to know and manipulate the environment that surrounds,Science allows children to explore, experiment, discover, and understand natural and human-made objects and forces. Experiments and activities with science and nature also stimulate children's curiosity, encourage use of all five senses, and help to build vocabulary...

In my class I would use the following learning center:
ReplyDelete1.Writing Center:
I think it is very important that children develop their communication skills from an early age such as expressing their ideas and thoughts.
2.Science Center:
Incorporating science into the classroom is a good way for children to investigate, question and experience for themselves what they learn, they will develop a sense of curiosity and research.
3. Music Center:
It is important to develop in children coordination, body expression, sensitivity, attention and memory, children like this space very much because they can develop many skills in a fun way.
4.Drama and Play Center:
children in this space learn to represent reality through many activities expressing their feelings and emotions to others, I consider it a very important space because many children become adults and do not know how to transmit their thoughts to others.
I think that Learning Centers are absolutely important for the little ones at the classroom. Each student is different and might have some skills more developed than others, for that reason I would like to have the following Leaning Centers in my classroom:
ReplyDelete1.Music Center
2.Block Center
3.Writing Center
4.Art Center
Music Center: Everyone likes music, and in this center, I would give the chance to the children to manipulate different homemade instruments that will make them feel like musicians. I would simulate an orchestra and at the same time teach them to listen and pronouns different musical sounds. It would be nice to sing along with them too.
Block Center: At the young age, children are curious about many things. In the block center, they would have the opportunity to touch different objects, identify shapes, and associate them by size, figures, colors, etc. like this; they develop their logic and math intelligence, which is vital for their whole life.
Writing Center: this area is fundamental, because here they will learn the basics for their writing competence. They will be able to practice their handwriting with concepts like: days of the week, months of the year, weather, and we could even spell word by word.
Art Center: this would be a place to let children use their creativity. Here is where they develop their imagination in order to create what they visualize. In this area, children get familiar with craft stuff, learn to use scissors, glue, painting, ect. and they will definitely enjoy doing it.

2. Dramatic/play Center: it teaches children importante social skills and gives them a venue to act out the things you are teaching in the classroom
3. Art Center: it is beneficial to your students like exploring geometric shapes build their own insects or drawings or whatever they want to draw, playing and coloring with colors and markers.
4. Writing Center: Writing Requires making choices. we can help students most by teaching them how to see and make choices when working with ideas.
we can show them how to write correctly how to grab the pencils correctly. involved them in writing workshop everyday where the students can go to find the necessary supplies and materials they will need to draft and publish special places of writing.

4. It is important because through music children learn or improve how to listen and in situations motivate children and help the teacher to make their class interesting at the same time.
I consider these 4 Center the most relevant for children development:
ReplyDelete1) Block Center: I consider to know the numbers, shapes and things related with Math is something that is meaningful that they can use during the rest of their life, because the knowledge get through this center improve the way of thinking, comprehension and analysis of problems.
2) Writing Center: As we know read is the key of the life. I consider children that read and comprehend them have the power. Many questions that we have reading we can to answer. Also open mind in little kids to see the life with other eyes. In addition in this center they learn to use appropriate words they have to use to describe something or talk about something or someone.
3) Art Center: In our world all people that possess strong competences is going to have a successful life. In this center I think kids learn to create by themselves, to experiment, to use different materials or objects. In other words they appreciate what they be able to do by themselves. I consider the word create like a key word, because when we have develop that competence in little kids, they open their imagination and have another way to think how our world works.
4) Drama and Play Center: In this center the students is the main character. Is one of the most important factor the student learn to use the language in any aspect. To have good social relation is another key for a successful life. Another reason why I consider this center important is because little kid discover who are they? And what kind of person they want to be in the future.
My goal was to discover the most important skills that students need to be successful. After speaking with hundreds of business leaders and reading hundreds of articles, it became clear that it is time for education to change. The same skills continued to be mentioned. There is less demand for obedient workers who can simply show up on time and follow directions. There is an increased demand for self-directed workers who can adapt and learn quickly, think critically, communicate and innovate.
ReplyDeleteThe most important intelligent that we need to develop in.the classroom
Music Center:Children need to follow certain guidelines in the music center. The following are some common rules for music and creative movement centers:
Treat books, puppets, music players, and instruments with care.
Return books, puppets, and musical instruments in the music area.
Keep creative movement activities in the music area to avoid disturbing children playing in other areas.
Use headphones when listening to music individually.
Art Center: An arts centre is a functional community centre with a specific remit to encourage arts practice and to provide facilities such as theatre space, gallery space, venues for musical performance, workshop areas, educational facilities, technical equipment

ReplyDeleteThe four Learning Center that I consider most relevant to have in the classroom are:
ReplyDelete1) Blog Center
2)Writing center
3)Science center
4)Art center
Block center because this center helps children to develop motor skills and they learn basic concept like shapes, size and how to solve problems. Play in the blog center also helps children to learn to with other.
Writing center is important because they learn to do things like write their name and recognize it and each letter and also they practice their handwriting.
Science center it is important because they learn about their environment and how to care it. As we know children are curious they can explore different things about nature.
Art center as we know children like to play and in this center they can develop their creativity and express their ideas I consider that thought this center children can communicate in an effective way and it makes children feel self-confident.
Well all are importantan, also it depents the case of the class, However I will dicede it for:
ReplyDeleteArt or ceating center, because this activite try to give they opportunities like the kids develop your skill, for example: they always like to paint.
Dramatic play center it will be the second, this method is good, and I think is the most important, because they Make oral peresentation, and they improve your English.
Music Center it willbe the third for me, because the kids like to sing, and repeat several time, also is more esay for they learn when you play a song or when they listen a song.
Table toy in this it will be importan, because they need to learn the preposition like under, on, between, next, therefore these vocabulary is esay to understand for they.
To my point of view the most important learning centers are:
ReplyDelete• Block center : I believe that in all classrooms must be a block center because is the funniest way to encourage our audience to learn math and have fun at same time, because is better to learn by making. Why I am focus in math, because I am sure that math is universal and one of the main subjects, math is in all life situations.
• Writing center : in relation to this center I would like to develop two macro skills, why I mention two, well because to improve writing we must improve reading and vice versa
• Drama and play center : our job as teacher is to have students to produce target language I believe that teaching process must be active specially in the earlier years, the much our students interact with the target language the more significant will be for them.
• Music center: personally I believe that music is the best tool to learn, we can teach and learn many things through music, besides everybody like music, and learning must be fun rather than sitting up tall and listen to instructions.
