Five and six-year-olds are natural, enthusiastic learners. Their impulse to ask questions, to investigate, and to explore, examine, and experiment, comes from a burning curiosity about the world and a desire to understand things. They learn, grow, and internalize through interactive experiences with each other, with adults, and with real materials that require all of their senses. For this reason, I spend careful time planning diverse learning centers, with open-ended activities and hands-on materials, to use throughout the year. The clipboards, stamp and ink pads, and white board crayons will give my students the opportunity to get out of their desks and collaborate with their peers while they learn through hands-on activities. The clipboards give the students the ability to write anywhere, they don't have to be confined to a desk. Learning centers add fun to the classroom and help the children enjoy learning. Kindergarten was created as a place to emphasize the development of the whole child. Now, however, emphasis has shifted so much to academic development, at the expense of emotional, social, and physical development, that we often forget how important these are. Learning centers, can be a perfect place to promote these areas of growth in young children. The card stock, laminate, and Velcro with be used to create learning centers that can be used and loved over and over again.
