Classroom Environment
Setting up
the Environment Children spend long hours in early childhood programs. Preschool
teacher need to assure that classroom environments are a live learning environment. Young children’s
understanding and learning happens as they explore, investigate and discuss concepts, while they move freely through
a well planed classroom environment.
Environments
need to be · A welcoming
place · A great place
to be · A place for
learning · A place of
beauty · A creative
environment that is designed for hands on experiences ·
A place to be a child Environments are where children can learn through observation, exploration,
verbalization, hands-on experiences and playful experiences they are places where children can be children.
These environments provide the best possible influences on children’s development.
When setting up the classroom environment I always refer back
to ECERS (Early Childhood Environment Rating Scale) and ELLCO (Early Language & Literacy Classroom Observation).
I want to include language and literacy items in every learning center in the classroom.
