The first website I visited was http://learningandteachingwithpreschoolers.blogspot.com/. This website is more of a resource site for teachers. Teachers can buy books to read to their students and their is a section titled classroom environment. This section there are picture of the classroom. The arrangement of the classroom is nicely put together everything is at eye level for the students and the centers are visible so the teacher can watch the students from any where in the room. The content and materials are age appropriate for Pre-k students. For example, in each center there are books and toys for the need of the students. The structure and methodology of the class is child center. Her organizational ideas was setup in a way that minimized disruptive behavior. For example all of the children had their own space to take care of belongings. This classroom is an example of supportive learning environments for young learners because environment stimulate the children emotionally and socially. For example the dramatic play center help children talk to each other in positive way.
The second website I visited was http://morethanabcand123.blogspot.com/2012/08/preschool-classroom-set-up.html. This classroom organizational ideas were different this teacher made cubbies by going into 'office supply' section of Walmart and used the ID badge holders to make name tags. The transition from place to place is smooth because she pick songs to sing using her song pail. She keeps the 3 and 4 year old things together by labeling everything.The arrangement of the class is accessible to the students. For example the children can reach all centers by them selves. The content and materials are accessible to the children and are colorful and fun. The structure and methodology of the class is centered around the children in the class. The children take learning in to their own hands by being allowed to explorer and discover in the class.
