Writing Center

This is our Writing Center.  Here 
children can write using a variety 
of materials.  Look at our word 
wall.  We discuss letters of the 
alphabet first by adding our 
names to the word wall.  Then 
as we learn new letters each 
week, we add words.  

Block Center

In this area, children use blocks 
to create, problem solve, and 
cooperate.  In 2003, my class 
created this pyramid after 
learning about mummies and 
Egypt.  This pyramid stayed up 
all year!

Kitchen Area

This is a favorite center for boys 
and girls alike.  In here, children 
develop language skills as well 
as learn how to cooperate and 
problem solve.

Art Center

Using a variety of art materials 
encourages independence, 
creativity, and fine motor skills in 
Kindergarten.

Projects

We love projects and do lots of 
fun ones in Room 6!  This is a project we did 
in 2007 for the letter Mm.  We made Martians 
on Macaroni Planets.

Quiet Reading

During this daily time, children 
self- select books for reading.  
Later on in the year, children 
practice reading leveled books 
with the teacher and with partners or
in small groups.

BOOM!

Children learn skills best 
through fun games and 
activities.  Boom!  is a game that 
we play to reinforce concepts 
like numerals, letter sounds, 
and sight words.

Calendar

Every morning, we learn math concepts 
through our calendar activities.  Patterning, 
numeral recognition, and counting are some 
skills that we learn through the calendar.
