I love Discovery Centers!
They are completely child-directed where they learn while having SO MUCH FUN!
I introduce them one at a time. These are the centers we have open right now:
DRAMATIC PLAY CENTER:
Lemonade Stand
How many things can we learn during dramatic play??
Relationships, creativity, sharing, self discovery, self confidence, story telling, group play, cooperation, and communication to name a few!!
BLOCK CENTER:
READING CENTER:
Right now for this center, they use pointers to "read around the room" and to read our classroom rules which were written together during SHARED WRITING time.
In the reading center, we are learning that - letters put together- make up the words we say. We are noticing that spaces between words tell us a new word is coming.

The kids are also enjoying time to explore our classroom library...
It's been fun to retell stories, or even make up our own stories to go along with the picture!!
