WILD WEST CENTERS!

WILD WEST CENTERS!

Sensory Table - We will have a sensory table   filled with sand and toys. This will allow kids to play with and touch the material with their hands and plastic scoops in the desert.

      

Dolls - We will have a center with dolls for the kids to free play with their imagination. This will allow the kids to point or label body parts while hearing the words that match the part. There will also be a large face on the wall that the kids can add parts to like eyes, ears, nose and mouth.

 Flowers- This center will be for the ants to explore the different shape and color options for flowers and to create some of their own with stamps and stickers. We will work on labeling colors and talking about the different flowers.

Kitchen - This center will have the child-sized kitchen for the kids to play at with their peers. They will work on turn taking and expressing things they want while playing.

Ranch Station - At this center there will be different ranch animals and toys for the kids to pretend play with. We will work on playing together with our peers.

Throughout the week, there will be different wild west themed cues around the classroom to facilitate learning and the use of language:

·      Literacy cues: Various books about this week’s wild west theme will be set in the classroom, available for reading.

·      Visual cues: There will be pictures cues about the desert, ranch animals and plants. These cues will help the students answer questions about the theme. 

·      Written cues: Posters will be displayed throughout the classroom regarding the daily schedule, classroom rules, and words to songs that the class will sing throughout the week.

·      Graphic organizers: Charts and diagrams will be used to record the science activities. The children’s predictions about the experiment and the results will be displayed in these charts.
