Welcome!

Welcome new Junior Explorers!  Here you will see a tour of your classroom and how it will look for you the first week of school.  I set it up to how I think you will like it.  Look around and make a plan of what you would like to do your first day of school!

This is the writing area.  Here you have many supplies to draw, create, and write whatever you feel.  This is where we keep the paper, pencils, markers, scissors, and tape.

This is the dramatic play area.  Here you will find the baby dolls, pretend food, dollhouse furniture, and stuffed animals.

This is the block area.  It is also where we have meeting time.  Here you will find blocks, Legos, animals, and K'nex.  We sit together in this space to talk about a lot of things as a whole group.

This is the literacy area.  Here is where you will find books, puzzles, and letters. Right now there is a small collection of books, but soon we will organize them by subject.  I am waiting for you to do this!  This is also where we keep our technology.  Each day you will be able to work on the iPads and computers.

This is the rainbow table.  I usually sit in the middle and have small groups (or large groups!) of children around me.  This is where we can sit and talk about things and focus on what we need to.  

You might notice some shelves look empty and the walls may be bare.  I left these things this way because I want to know what you like to play and learn with.  That way I can bring new materials when I need to.  We will also fill the walls up in no time!  Enjoy the weekend and I will see you soon!
