Setting up the learning space for new students is one of my favourite things to do. You never know what learning opportunities will catch their attention and interest, so I aim to set up a range of invitations in the hopes that I can learn about the types of materials and resources they are drawn to as well as their interests.

In this week’s post you will find snapshots of how I set up our classroom for the first days of kindergarten. Once I get to know the children and their interests, I will change and adapt the learning experiences.

I strive to include invitations that focus on fine motor, small world play, dramatic play, building, and creating.   Next week, I’ll let you know how these opportunities to learn turned out.

Children are miracles…. We must remember it is our job; to create, with reverence and gratitude, a space that is worthy of a miracle. – Anita Rui Olds

Happy Teaching,
