Every preschool classroom should have access to all the learning center 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
- Toy Table Center
Every learning center that you choose to have in your classroom must be explained in four or five reasons for your decision to have it in your classroom.
Remember that opinions can not be exactly the same and your participation must be complete in order to get the points.
If I had the opportunity to work as a preschool teacher , I would choose;
ReplyDelete1. Music Center.
What better way to learn in a fun and rhythmic way? The uses of music center vary with every group, the children are motivated to learn by listening to funny music, having the opportunity to learn by making and listening to different sounds.
2. Writing Center.
In my point of view It must be included in the activities of every classroom every day, it is very important process that should be part of their daily routine.
3. Drama and Play Center, this center is very important too, is a good way for children to develop their own ideas through the imagination, and help the child to be more creative.
4.Block Center: Because in the language teaching process is really important to take into account children’s needs to facilitate the language learning process, and this learning center gives children the opportunity to l
earn vocabulary they already known in their mother tongue, such as number, order, shape, size, space and measurement.
I chose those learning centers because are the most important centers in the learning processes.

Learning Centers
ReplyDeleteAs a teacher I know that learning Centers are useful in children education since they are in preschol because motivate and give the opportunity to get knowledge and develop their students' skill through different activities of several areas with the purpose of encourage students learn discovering their multiple intelligences. However some principals are not care about the importance of having learning Centers in their school because of the teacher’ capacity, lack of materials or there is not enough space to have them. Notwithstanding have some learning could be great for students, such as:
1) Art center
2) Writing center
3) Science Center
4) Music Center
1) Art center: Students in this area could express their imaginations through painting, collage, modeling things, pictures and drawings using colors, clay, pen and pencils, fabric scraps, glue and paints.
2) Writing Center: it's a good area to develop their linguistic intelligence through writing their names, read and write titles of books, work in worksheets, word games, talk about the calendar and weather.
3) Science Center: this center encourage students reflect about taking care of the nature and also the curiosity to learn about different aspect of Science taking into account the science skills such as inquiry. At the same time they are developing their intra personal intelligence.
4) Music Center: a fascinating area to provide the opportunity to learn through music, produced by different instruments such as marimba, drums, flutes, or and others. Also appreciate the differenttypes of music, singing and playing live or recorder music.

ReplyDeleteHello Mr. Monge, I'm Claudia Iveth Alvarez Castillo with registration 0801198104225 this is my contribution to the blog for week 2 in the Early Literacy Class:
The corners offer the possibility of discovering through action, which is another important way to create meaningful learning by itself. This, in turn, develops in the children security and independence.
Each of the corners seems essential to me in the classroom because the creation of each one depends on the needs of the students. But if I had to choose only four, they would have to be the following:
1.BLOCK CENTER: is a corner where you can perfectly integrate the areas of science, mathematics, social studies and literacy.
a) It is perfect for developing logical-mathematical skills and should be worked in an appropriate way because it allows children to have tools to interpret and intervene in many situations and activities of daily life.
b) Activities are carried out where children act on different materials to build their learning.
c) Working with blocks is very important because they motivate the social and cognitive development, while at the same time working the gross and fine motor skills, and the coordination of the child.
d) Children learn to use their imagination and develop their creative skills while working with other children. They learn to share space and materials, to collaborate and to negotiate. When children play with blocks, they practice their ability to classify objects based on their attributes of color, shape, and size.
2.MUSIC CENTER: Music in the preschool classroom is of great importance that helps kids in their intellectual, auditory, sensory, speech and motor development.
a) Music causes an increase in the capacity of memory, attention and concentration in children
b) Music is a way of expressing oneself, stimulates the child's imagination and when combined with dance, stimulates the senses, balance and muscular development
c) Provide an opportunity for children to interact with each other.
d) Music serves as a way of learning, enjoyment and expression for children.
3. ART CENTER: is a motivating space that offers children resources that allow them to interpret their inner and outer world.
a) Here, children can develop learning skills and motivate creativity through various stimuli.
b) In this corner the children are contacted with notions of form, color, creation and expression in specific areas.
c) Observation, motor skills and creativity are developed.
d) skills and abilities are developed by manipulating, trimming, pasting, painting, modeling, drawing and using color through the practice of different techniques.
4. TABLE TOYS CENTER:
a) We can encourage creativity, improve memory, strengthen the child's autonomy, stimulate empathy
b) Small motor development and control (preparation for holding a pencil)
c) Here social skills are developed in children, for a respectful and understanding treatment in the relationship with other people.
d) Eye-hand coordination, and visual discrimination.
e) Recognition of shapes, colors, and textures

ReplyDeleteTaking in consideration the lock of space and resources I think I would choose the learning centers where my students would be able to practice their skill in ways that correspond with their personal intelligences.
ReplyDelete1.- Writing Center
1.1- A child with linguistic- verbal intelligence enjoys reading and writing and they are good in remembering written and spoken information, a good collection of stories and fables will be attract these kids.
1.2 This center allows children to freely choose and experiment with materials that they find interesting ,different crayons, markers, and pencils, dry erase boards, paper of different colors and textures, magnetic letters etc.
1.3. Children with interpersonal intelligence will probably enjoy recreating in plays stories and fables that they have read.
1.4. Teachers can make children aware of the care of the environment by using recycled paper.
2.- Art Center
2.1. The art center should allow children to feel creative as they explore materials to express themselves.
2.2 The art center also children to make their own discoveries, either independently or together, and to feel confident in the choices they make.
2.3 Considering that the Art Center needs supplies such as: Paper, molding materials, scissor, paints, crayons, glue, tape, recycle material etc. The teacher should have these supplies organized and accessible to children. When children can easily find and use the materials in the center they will be more likely to create with them.
2.4 The Art Center gives the teacher the opportunity to praise work –in- progress or completed work with the children. This kind of behavior from the teacher toward children builds their self-esteem.
3.- Music Center.
3.1 - Creating a Learning Music Center gives small children the opportunity to appreciate and value the role that music plays in everyday life.
3.2 - Teachers must take in consideration that children with musical intelligence learn best through sounds, rhythm, and music.
3.3 - As children acquire an appreciation of music, they strengthen skills such as self-expression, teamwork, movement, discovery of sound, and acceptance.
3.4 - In school with limited resources, teachers and students can get creative and handcraft instruments such as maracas, rain-sticks, kazoos, conch trumpets etc.
3.5- A listening area with a radio or CD player and headphones will give children a place to discover different types of music and appreciate all its genres. If the teacher doesn´t have devices or headphones for student to use, he or she may send a note home to all students’ families asking for old instruments and music technology to use in the music room.
4.- Block Center
4.1 A block center facilitates teamwork and creative play while giving children the opportunity to experiment.
4.2 This center integrates various areas of the curriculum such as science, social studies, literacy and mathematics.
4.3 Block play helps children develop motor skills and learn about basic concepts of architecture and engineering.
4.4 This center has special appeal for children whose intelligences are strong in visual/spatial, logical/mathematical, and bodily/kinesthetic areas
Ana Delcy Hernandez Register Number 8831070
I would have the following learning centers in my classroom:
ReplyDelete1. Block center because through this center: a.) Preschoolers have the opportunity to create or simulate a community, that helps them to have an idea about something bigger than themselves. b.) Children learn how to call things as circles, triangles and squares by playing with them. c.) I can add pictures to the big blocks to emphasize the difference between a girl and a boy. d.) While children are playing in the block area I can observe them and recognize what they want to express in English.
2. In the Music center a.) Children listen to music and learn the song although they don't understand completely what they are saying, they just repeat and sing it. b.) In this corner they have books in order to look at them while they are listening the reading. c.) Music can provide opportunities for interaction with adults and other children, which is the foundation for relationships. d.)The music center stimulates thought and imagination, as children learn the words to songs or produce their own music and creative movement.
3. Art center, painting, coloring, sculpting, drawing, and other forms of creative art are an important part of the child care curriculum. a.) Using art tools helps children develop small muscle coordination and control. b.) Art allows children to achieve and expand their creativity. c.) Children can practice thinking skills by experimenting with color, texture, and design. d.) Art gives children an opportunity to express their ideas and feelings, relieves tension, and provides limits for self-discipline.
4. Writing center a.) Children can use alphabet stamps to find the letters of their names and this is important for them to start the writing process through names. b.) Preschoolers need time and practice to develop the physical and cognitive skills they will need to write and print words. c.) Providing opportunities to practice using writing tools is important to preschoolers’ fine motor and literacy development. d.) Eventually, as students learn letters and gain the appropriate fine motor control, they will begin copying the written word and asking how to spell.

Music Center:
Children practice words and phrases in repeating patterns by listening to and singing songs. These skills help them become better at understanding and producing language and prepare them to identify patterns when they begin to read.
The music center stimulates thought and imagination, as children learn the words to songs or produce their own music and creative movement.
Drama and Play Ceter:
Engaging in dramatic play enhances young children’s development. Pretending builds social skills, makes children more aware of their own emotions, and encourages shared language and problem solving. As children play and interact in the dramatic play center in an early childhood program, they practice skills in the following areas:
-Social/emotional:
negotiating different roles and themes, cooperating to keep the play happening, acting out roles and situations
-Physical: using large and small muscles to put on costumes and manipulate props, practicing eye-hand coordination
-Cognitive: thinking of and acting out a story, organizing and expressing ideas, paying attention to how other people see the world, finding creative solutions to challenges
-Language: asking and answering questions, using language related to a role they are playing
Dramatic play is most effective as a child-centered play activity.
Block Center:
is a valuable learning tool for young children of all ages. By setting aside an area for block play within the child care space, child care providers are creating an area for imaginative cooperative play. Children playing with blocks are practicing a wide variety of developmental skills, including manipulating objects, creating structures, and working together.
Physical development:
Infants and toddlers using blocks are practicing their grasping and hand manipulation skills. Preschoolers and school-age children can refine their gross motor and fine motor skills by building complex structures that require balance, a steady hand, and hand-eye coordination.
Cognitive skills: Children working with blocks have a chance to use their ideas to produce real structures. Building complex block structures requires children to understand a variety of math concepts, including size, shape, number, order, area, length, pattern, and weight. Children can practice comparison, measurement, and classification, among other essential thinking skills.
Language development:
The block area is an ideal place for children to practice new vocabulary by using words to describe types of buildings, shapes, and structures. When planning a structure together, children must use verbal communication skills. Child care providers can enhance language skills in the block area by using new vocabulary words, encouraging children to describe their structures and their building process, and encouraging children to write stories about the structures they create.
Social and emotional skills: When working together in the block area, children begin to practice negotiation. They get experience following rules, sharing their ideas and insights, and looking at the world from the points of view of others.
Sand and water table:
provide several learning benefits to the developing child. They are primarily used for sensory play, but they can also be used for science projects, and pretend or imaginative play.
-Sand and water tables and toys offer children opportunities to use their senses to discover the natural world
- The Developmental Benefits of Sand & Water Play
As children splish and splash water or scoop and dump sand, they are unknowingly learning while having fun. ...
While children are shoveling sand or collecting water in buckets, they are developing their hand eye coordination skills.
Which are the four learning centers you would choose to have in your class?

Preschool is one of the most important stage that children must pass. For that reason, we as teachers should have to be careful with the way that we are going to teach. in this case we have to take in consideration the learning centers that we are going to use according to the space that we have.
ReplyDeleteIn my case if I don’t have enough space into my classroom I would choose:
1) Art or creating center:
*For me this is important because the children have the opportunity to create the ideas that they are not be able to express in English.
*Children can develop their social skill.. Why..? Because if one of them has a speaking problem or something like this, he or she can use the creations that they do to keep the communication with the other ones, and in this way, they can join the group little by little.
*This is a good way to make the class funny for the children.
*We as teachers can know little details about our students like their favorite color, if their like to work in a good way or if they have any problem to do their homework.
2) Writing Center:
*Here we can save space because this is a portable center and the children can use the same desk that they use every day.
*It can help us to develop the writing skills in our students.
*We can use our environment as material and as motivation to encourage our students to write.
*This is an activity that we use every day with our students, so, we can get good results.
3) Science Center:
*To develop children´s curiosity and go it into practice.
*To know the changes of the Earth, it means, the season and what things they can do in each one.
*To know about the planet and how take care of it.
*We can use some animal pictures in order to students know about them.
4) Dramatic play Center:
*Children learn how to develop the speaking skill.
*It is important to develop the handling of the body.
*To keep the communication with others.
*To improve the imagination of the students.

1. Music Center: This way of learning is very useful and fun because the sound keeps them active which makes them participate more in the classroom.
ReplyDelete2. Art Center: This is one of the best to learn, because with this type of activities children learn not only colors and how to draw but also discover things that make it easier to learn.
3. Writing Center: In my point of view this should be practiced every day as children learn to improve their spelling and discover many things.
4. Science Center: In this airfield children use their imagination to the fullest, they learn to share ideas with their peers, they also learn about the importance of nature and how we should take care of it.

Hello.. This is Marina Liberdy Garcia López and my id 801199220099
ReplyDeleteMy opinion about learning center is:
1.-Block Center: The blocks center is a very important part of an early childhood classroom. When children build with blocks, they learn about mathematical concepts such as size, shape, number, and quantity.
They learn to think, plan, and problem-solve as their structures take form. This center has special appeal for children whose intelligences are strong in the visual/spatial, logical/mathematical, and bodily/kinesthetic areas.
2.-Science center: science center is an educational facility that uses effective methods to teach science, technology, mathematics and engineering.A Science center stimulate curiosity, develop inquiring minds and expose children and adults to positive new experiences.
3.-Music Center: A music center is an important part of any child care program. Listening to music, singing, playing musical instruments, and moving to music are all activities that support children's development across several different domains:
-Language development
-Social and emotional skills
-Cognitive development
4.-Writing Center: Writing centers are an integral part of the classroom, as they provide many benefits. They're not only a space for students to go and practice their writing skills, but they are also a place where students can engage in the writing process through many different mediums and classroom activities.
Good evening, I'm Rafael José Arita Pavón (0704-1997-01042).
ReplyDeleteEven though, the variety of new things can somehow overwhelmed children when being new learners it’s necessary for them to interact with new things to encourage them in socialize with their classmates and experiment with new things, as teachers we have to keep in mind that having not enough space to develop learning centers that is not something that can discourage us to be creative and use a single space to be multi-functional which is something many teachers do nowadays.
As for the four learning centers I need to choose for this exercise I would like to choose the following:
1) Block Center: Because of the length of content one can use to develop ways of playing that will actually give students a funny while learning one of the most hated signatures (mathematics, social studies, literacy, etc.). It gives the students the task to think and find out the names of unknown shapes and concepts making an interactive learning process and finally because it gives the teacher a chance to see which are the topic children demonstrate the most interest on.
2) Art Center: I would select this one because the word ¨Art¨ does not only apply to an enclosed term of using paint on a white sheet of paper, what it actually means is to appreciate the inner abilities children have by including many different assets in which they can develop their inner capabilities by having fun (as for example by playing a musical instrument, drawing, participating in dramas or mimicking a story), and so they have an opportunity to express what they cannot with words.
3) Science Center: This center has the responsibility to make the children curiosity wider, so they will try to look into new things, observe and understand the changes of our surroundings and draw conclusions based on the observations they have priory done, another good thing is the bunch of experiments available for the teachers to do with the students in which everyone can be involved.
4) Writing Center: One the reasons to choose this center is because it’s portable, thus, making us have more space for the other three spaces of course this is not the main reason as to why it must be chosen, since as we know while developing the naturals skills on children we cannot ignore that they must learn how to write by incentivizing their appreciation for the written language and that it is something that can be fun to learn.
Hello! I'am Brenda Jazmin Romero Portillo
ReplyDelete0405199600277
The four learning centers that I would choose to have in my class.
1. Art Center
- Students through art can develop different skills and abilities.
- By art students begin to develop mentally and physically.
- The students develop their imagination.
- The students develop their creativity to the maximum.
2. Writing Center
- The students learn the alphabet
- Is one of the important parts in your learning to express yourself through writing.
- Students can express themselves freely through writing.
- Develop their skills by learning new vocabulary.
3. Musical center
- It is excellent to develop the skills to be able to play many instruments.
- Students through listening to music can develop different artistic skills.
- Students can develop the ability to sing.
- Through Music students learn to express themselves in public.
4. Science center
- Students learn to experiment with science.
- They know about the planet and learn to take care of it.
- Know the classification of animals and plants.
- The students know the human being and its parts
When we are a teacher, we find difficulties in different aspects, if when I work in preschool I don’t have the enough spaces, I select the next spaces:
ReplyDelete• Music center: when children are exposed to the music them develop a larger vocabulary, and strengthen social and emotional skills. Music intelligence is as important as logical and emotional intelligence. This is because music has the ability to strengthen the connection between the body and brain to work together as a team. For instance, when dancing and moving to music, children develop better motor skills whereas singing along to a song helps them to practice their singing voice. In general, the exposure to music supports children in their development process to learn the sound of tones and words.
• Writing center: teachers always need to develop the writing skill in their students, because in writing center students develop or learn how to do the next aspects: Develop pre-writing and drawing skills by using a wide variety of tools. Use increasingly complex and varied vocabulary, grammar and syntax in conversations and storytelling by communicating their ideas through drawing and through print. Notice and discriminate sounds of language (rhyme, alliteration, etc.) and that letters have distinct sounds associated with them (such as beginning and/or ending sounds) Recognize and identify letters of the alphabet in print, environment and/or own name.
• Science center: in this center or are students develop different aspects to be more specific concepts such as learning about animals, plants, weather and the physical world are also important components to the early science education that can benefit the child later in life. Young children are naturally curious about the world around them. Teaching science to preschoolers can enhance this interest and help little ones to learn to explore their environment.
• Drama and play center: the importance of drama and learning based on drama in pre-school education is emphasized. Most important gains for using drama in education are; achieving expression of feelings in a healthy way, developing creative imagination in children, giving a chance to children to think and express themselves independently and developing children's social awareness and cooperative consciousness. Here at this point drama in pre-school education plays an important role.
Even though all learning centers are very important, for me the most relevant for children development are:
ReplyDeleteArt Center: There are many reasons that giving children a space to create artwork is extremely important. Supporting their explorations in art fosters creativity. Also there are huge physiological benefits from engaging in art. Art engages both gross (large parts of the body, such as torso and arms) and fine (smaller parts of the body, such as fingers) motor skills, which means that children will get practice controlling the parts of the body that will be necessary to use when they are learning a wide variety of skills in school, from kicking a ball on the field to mastering writing. Working on artwork helps children learn how to coordinate different physical movements to create a desire result.
Science Center: Learning about nature and science helps children expand their vocabulary and develop a broader understanding of basic science concepts. The increase in environmental concerns makes it even more important for children to study nature and science, which is why a nature and science learning center is a must-have for early care and education environments. Including a nature and science learning center in our classrooms will give children opportunities to explore the world around them through hands-on learning and will help nurture children's interest and concern for our environment now and as adults.
Drama and Play Center: Young children thrive on pretend play, they love to dress up and act out real life situations in the play center. The opportunities for developing creativity, imagination, and oral language skills in the play center are endless. Pretend play promotes the development of higher level thinking skills, problem solving, oral language development and oh so much more. When kids engage in pretend play they are developing critical skills across all learning domains such as language and literacy, math, science, social studies, fine and gross motor, and even social skills!
Music Center: Making music, especially if it includes tapping, clapping, bouncing and dancing can help enhance fine and large motor skills! Simple songs along with back-and-forth play can help build brain and body coordination, too. All of these activities help build important connections across many regions of the developing childhood brain during this essential time of development.
Even before babies are able to talk, their babbling and sound-play helps them to develop neural pathways necessary for listening and speaking.

ReplyDeleteI chose these centers because they seem very appropriate for a preschool area.
*Music center
-Music plays an important role in child development Learn the benefits of music and read parenting tips for helping children enjoy music
-Can actually accelerate brain development, particularly in the areas of language acquisition and reading skills
-Learning to play an instrument can improve mathematical learning and even increase SAT scores
-Music ignites all areas of child development and skills for school readiness: intellectual social and emotional motor, language, and overall literacy.
-It helps the body and the mind work together.
* Art center
-It allows children to process their world to deal with scary emotions in a safe way, and because it gives them critical sensory input.

-Is vital to their families because it keeps everyone engaged and happy and helps with the sometimes dimcult transitions of the day.
*Writing center
-This is the beginning of a series of stages that children progress through as they learn to write.
-When literacy resources Cblank paper, index cards, journals, crayons, and pencils) are made available to children, these resources
-Become a vital and critical part of learning about written language in the school settings.
-Consistent with whole language advocates the preschool years seem to be the natural time for young children to develop these early elements of literacy.

-Reading to children, as young as infancy, helps them to develop listening skills and eye focus.
Science center
-It found that even though they lack the ability to sift through information and express themselves, they can grasp complex scientific concepts, test theories and draw conclusions
-When they play with locks or a her simple and they restrain theories and expand their understanding of the world .
-And as soon as they learn to tallk, children start asking questions such as "why is the sky blue" and "how many stars are in the sky?".
-Talk about scientific and mathematical concepts at every opportunity: when cooking, filling the gas tank, watching sports, spending time at the beach, grocery shopping, plotting bus routes or other everyday activities;
-Take your child to science centers and children's museums:
- Give your child plenty of free time to play;
- If you do not know the answer to a question, ask the child what their theory is and try to work through the question together.
The writing center:

Learning centers can help meet the diverse needs and skill levels of young children. Children learn by doing. They actively construct knowledge by interacting with the world around them. Teachers can facilitate learning by providing organized centers that encourage independent activity. Learning centers enable the early childhood teacher to work with individual children or small groups of children on specific skills while the rest of the class are actively learning. Learning centers can be offered in all content areas, on a variety of levels. Students can work independently, or in small group.
ReplyDeleteScience Center
Discovery methods used in teaching science encourage the young child to ask questions: such as "why do things work as they do?" Locate the science center near a large window as to observe weather changes and nature. Exploring the natural world through hands-on science is an important way that children learn. Hands-on science activities encourage children to observe and manipulate items from the environment, while making predictions about what will happen and then testing those predictions. Science allows children to explore, experiment, question, 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.
Block Center
Educators for generations agree that young children learn best through play. As the child explores the world around him, he matures through this environmental interaction. Block play offers preschoolers both basic skills and creative outlets. Accessories make a difference in imagination when children use blocks. Block play is a valuable learning tool for young children of all ages. By setting aside an area for block play within the child care space, child care providers are creating an area for imaginative cooperative play. Children playing with blocks are practicing a wide variety of developmental skills, including manipulating objects, creating structures, and working together.
Music Center
Music is a universal language understood by all. Teachers of young children realize the need for music in the classroom. Use music to promote a calm and peaceful atmosphere, for transition from one activity to another, to educate and to encourage movement and exercise. A music center is an important part of any child care program. Listening to music, singing, playing musical instruments, and moving to music are all activities that support children's development across several different domains.
Art Center
Art provides a way of expressing human behavior and experience. According to Day (1983), the child's visual awareness of color, coupled with form and line, become a part of his or her everyday life and experience. Placing materials within easy reach encourages young children to become involved in art projects. Painting, coloring, sculpting, drawing, and other forms of creative art are an important part of the child care curriculum. Creating art supports young children's development across several different domains. Using art tools helps children develop small muscle coordination and control. Children can practice thinking skills by experimenting with color, texture, and design. Art gives children an opportunity to express their ideas and feelings, relieves tension, and provides limits for self-discipline. Art allows children to achieve and expand their creativity.
