M6 WA#1: Classroom Arrangement
Create a developmentally appropriate classroom with five or more learning centers for a group of 4 year-old children. \u00a0\u00a0 You may do the layout in a variety of ways.\u00a0
Option 1. You can use the word program on your electronic device and use the drawing tools on it to draw the layout. When you go to your Word program, you will click on the toolbar for the auto shapes for a rectangle or a circle, or you may choose to draw your own shape. Once you have your shape (you may add color if you want); click on the inside of it, and you should see your cursor.\u00a0 Type the name of the learning center in the shape.
Option 2. A second option for creating your classroom is to access this link:\u00a0\u00a0 http:\/\/classroom.4teachers.org\/ \u00a0\u00a0(Classroom Architect).\u00a0 It will allow you to draw a floor plan and drag objects that they provide to design your classroom. When you are finished, save your classroom to your computer.\u00a0 After you complete your design, follow these steps if you are on a computer:\u00a0
\u00b7 Look for the print screen button in the upper right hand corner; press the print screen(prtScr)\u00a0 and the control key (Ctrl) at the same time.
\u00b7 Open your word program to a blank page \u2013 click control and V at the same time which will paste your classroom.\u00a0\u00a0
\u00b7 Next save your document to your electronic device. You are now ready to submit your assignment on Blackboard.
Option 3. Another resource you can use to design your classroom is on the Kaplan Company website: http:\/\/kaplan.floorplanner.com\/start#details (Be sure to save your design if you use this option. Follow the same directions in option 2.)
Option 4.\u00a0If technology is stressful, you may create your classroom by neatly drawing it on a blank sheet of paper, taking a picture of it or scanning it onto your computer, saving it to your computer and then submitting on Blackboard.
Option 5.\u00a0You may also design your actual classroom; take pictures of it, label the different centers and send it as an attachment on Blackboard.\u00a0\u00a0 If you choose this option, be sure to include at least one picture of the entire room, so I can see where the centers are in relation to each other.
Don\u2019t forget to take a Virtual Tour of SeeSaw Center\u00a0 which should\u00a0 give you several ideas of how you might want your classroom to look.\u00a0 You also need to refer to the book, \u00a0Early Childhood Environment Rating Scale,\u00a0Revised Edition while you are completing this assignment.\u00a0 Your\u00a0 Beginnings and Beyond\u00a0text also provides samples of developmentally appropriate classrooms.
Be sure to:
\u00b7 label each learning center
\u00b7 include at least two exits
\u00b7 show where\u00a0bathrooms and sinks are located, and
\u00b7 designate\u00a0storage areas and adult space.
