Classroom Tour:
The Centers Room

Here is the slideshow of my centers room. My students get about
two hours of free play in here each day.

The view from the back of our room.

Art Center
The art center is located on a tiled section of our room. You
can’t see it in this picture but our drying rack is located next to
the easel.

Art supplies are labeled with words and photos. Paper is located in
labeled drawers beside the easel.

Toys and Games Center
(We do not load our shelves as we have a very large storage
room. We change our centers out every month.)

Blocks Center
Legos, lincoln logs and other small blocks are located in tubs on the
two empty shelves you see. They were being used in our Santa’s
Workshop center. The drawers store our people, vehicles, furniture
and animals.

Discovery Center
I would like to get more shelving for this center as it is
currently very limited. I do love that it is surrounded by our
floor to ceiling windows!

Library Center
Our library center is located away from some of the noisier centers
to provide my students with a quiet place.

This is Bronco! He was a
Christmas present to my
classroom from my
mother. She found him at
Sam’s Club. He is
incredibly cuddly!
I recently found this
adorable tent at Walmart
for $15! We use it as a
privacy center. I also got a
puppy, a monkey and a dino.
My students love them!

Water & Sand Center
We love to take our water table outside when it’s warm so it
is conveniently located next to our back door.

Literacy /Math Center and Writing Center

Various literacy, math and
language toys can be found in
this center. This center is
located between our library
and writing centers.
Our writing center looks
a little sparse in this
picture. It also has
envelopes, clipboards,
etc. There are also word
card sets (Our Class,
School, Family and Home)
to encourage writing.

Dramatic Play Center
Our drama center is decked out for Christmas in these photos.
We change the theme of this center each month.
I will post some slideshows of the
different drama themes we’ve done
throughout the year.

Locating this center near the cubbies has provided us with
ample space to store all of our dramatic play items. Most of
the cubbies have velcro in them to hang various labels.

Music and Movement Center
Our listening center is located in our music/movement center.
