Select a picture from the internet of a pre-k through third-grade classroom that includes activity centers and curriculum resources that meet state learning standards, and furniture and rationale for its placement.In a two-three-page paper, reflect upon the content that you learned about creating an effective and creative learning environment for children. Use the Environmental Assessment found in figure 5.7to assess the learning centers and room arrangement of your selected early childhood classroom.
Your reflection should discuss:
1. An explanation of the classroom, i.e., age group, educational philosophy
2. What design elements did you like about this classroom? What didn’t you like? Why?
3. What activity centers were included? What activity centers weren’t pictured? Describe what activities/materials would you include within the activity centers
4. What Ohio or core standards would be addressed by the activity centers?
