Setting the classroom for learning process

At the moment to prepare a classroom, the most important thing to consider is adapt the classroom environment to the children vision, improving their perception through visual, auditive, an tactile stimuli.  

One of the most important aspect is "The boarder".  In there, you would exhibit the children creation, motivating them to appreciate their own creation and "looking of what they did".
The following images present some boarders example, which I will be posting with the time in correspondence with the month of the year, seasons or objectives.


 Theme: Children around the world.
Children of 4 years old from California, characterized with paper dolls children from different part of the world, writing a card to them using "dictation" and the writing of their names.
Creation:  Preschoolers: 4 years old -Mrs. Ama Reyes class, California.   

The second theme:  Farm Animals.
Creation of animals from the farm using different materials to recreate textures, colors and sizes of the animals in a cretive vision of the nature.
Children of 3 years old.  Mrs. Phylis McClothin class- California.


Christmas: Pictures of children recreate the boarder.  Without forget the Christmas tree.
Mrs. Daisy Gomez and Mrs. Jennifer Rodriguez class.  4 years old.  California.
