Many of the children noticed the changes right away.... The teachers took some time to re-arrange some of our spaces yesterday afternoon. The children had been making connections between our Dramatic Play area and our house in the outdoor classroom. We decided to bring these spaces closer together by moving Dramatic Play into the Orange Room near the windows. The Message Center then moved onto the carpet area in the Blue Room.
At the beginning of morning meeting we took a walking tour through the rooms so everyone had a chance to see the changes. When we returned to meeting, we asked children what the noticed;
Mia: Dramatic Play is over there and it used to be in the Blue Room.
Brady: Message Center is in the Blue Room.
Lily: The studio is in a different place. The tables are moved.
Harlow: The Mr. Potato Head table is moved. It used to be over there.
Suzette: The water colors table is moved.
Birk: The books moved to the Blue Room.
Hattie: Housekeeping moved.
Morgan: The dinosaur books moved.
Eloise: The snack tables moved.
