Easel Central

Preschool classroom ideas?

What are some good things to have in a preschool classroom? The things I have already ( or plan to buy ) are :

I teach three’s and here is how I have my class set up…

I have a large rug that I conduct circle time on. Each child has a designated spot and this is where we read books, sing songs, do the calendar/weather, and learn!

I have a big table and at my center we eat in our class so it gets used a lot for a variety of reasons!

I have different learning centers and each has a different purpose or theme. My centers are:
-Home Living (dress up clothes, kitchen items, baby dolls, etc…)
-Blocks (located on next to the circle time rug so there is plenty of space with a variety of blocks such as stacking blocks (plain wooden blocks) and interlocking blocks (legos))
-Car center (car themed rug and different sizes and shapes of cars, boats, train sets, and airplanes)
-Music Center (drums, tambourines, xylophones, etc.. I also turn on music near this center so kids can dance)
-Library (bookshelf filled with books, comfy pillows and blankets)
-Table Toys ( shelf near the table with small manipulative toys, crayons and paper, puzzles)
-Sensory Table (can be filled with sand, water, birdseed, whatever! often gets messy!)

Also, be sure to check with your state standards for classroom requirements. For example in my state it’s required that there be two books per child, at least 100 stacking blocks, An Easel, sensory table, etc.. Each state has different standards and each age group also has different requirements.

Hope this helps!
