Reflecting on our Environments

• How did our environments look before we started our journey

• Where are we now…

• What do we aspire to become…

Creating home-like environments

What does the research tell us?

• The environment is often referred to as the “third” teacher

• A positive learning environment leads to optimum learning

• That the environment plays an important role in the system of

relationships between home and school

How does the environment shape child inspired curriculum?

• Units of study are child initiated, teacher framed

• Units of study are integrated into all of the centers within the classroom

• Children have more respect for the environment when materials of interest are available to them

• When children are engaged, the atmosphere of the classroom changes

Bookmaking

• Children gained an awareness of print

• Children counted number of pages in their books

• Children created a variety of books including pop up, accordion, and different shapes and sizes

• Children had the opportunity to share their books with family and friends

Map Making

• Children created maps of their bedrooms, homes, classroom

• Children went on to create a life size map of the special places they visit on campus: library, student center, track, garden

• Children learned directions such as left, right, up, down, and around

• Families and friends used the children’s map to guide them on a tour of the campus

Toy Making

• Looked at children’s interest in terms of child inspired curriculum and the NJ Preschool Teaching and Learning Standards

• Children develop knowledge of spatial concepts

• Children develop inquiry skills• Children observe and investigate matter

and energy

A Study of Rocks

• It all began when children asked:
