Learning centers

Learning centers in early childhood classrooms engage students in independent learning that helps them stay engaged and on task. Student engagement in the learning will also create a positive learning environment.

Based on any three content areas, create a plan for five learning centers focused on a theme (zoo animals, farm, space, etc.) for a Pre-K to Grade 3 classroom.

Each learning center plan will be 200-250 words and include:

Developmentally appropriate activity that is engaging for students, promotes creativity, and is aligned with state standards.

Directions for the volunteers to oversee the center’s activity, including guidance for enhancing student learning and well-being.

A list of required materials and the purpose of each.

At least one center must include the use of technology to engage and support creative thinking.
