1. Some ways to keep classrooms arranged,
structured, and organized with activities is to always keep the classroom in a
routine. Play time is especially
important in preschool for the children’s social skills to become better and
for the children to learn how to play together and share. Through playtime the children are learning
different colors and shapes, without even realizing it.
2. Another way that classrooms can be
arranged and structured and organized is with hands on activities. These activities can be organized that the
children are learning what is needed for kindergarten, with actual items. The children are going to be able to learn
more with activities then with sitting and listening to a teacher talk.
3. A great way to keep the classroom organized
is by making it welcoming to the children who are coming in. Preschoolers like a bright cheerful place to
be and that is what a preschool classroom should look like. My preschool classroom is decorated for
seasons, but also with frogs every because the name is Jump into Learning
Preschool. I wanted to keep the theme,
while keeping it changing with the seasons
4. The last way that I am going to
talk about in this blog, is that centers are a great way to keep structure, but
also to keep organization. The centers
are used to divide the children up into small groups, and to be able to play with
different toys or educational games. The
centers provide quieter playtime , but still learning and socializing.
Hi Bethany
ReplyDeleteThese website are very informative. I found the information from “Laugh and Learn Preschool” website to be very informative, and I agree with the teacher’s philosophy that “preschool-aged children aren’t meant to sit and listen to formal lessons or to be drilled and tested”. Children will learn through games, songs, stories, hands-on projects, and play. Children at this stage are active learners, their attention span is very limited, and they have difficulty just sitting and listening without being actively engaged in what they are doing. Children at this stage are learning about the environment and how to cooperate with others. A Clean and Organized Classroom has many interesting ideas that will help teachers when organizing their classroom and also organizing centers.
