Home Photo Tour

UPDATE!!!!!  These are photos of the old house!!!  Photos of the BRAND NEW Sweet Smiles Preschool are coming VERY SOON!!!  Check back by the middle of August 2016!!!

Main Room...

 Individual cubbies for take home projects and change of clothes.

Library/Reading Nook...

Listening Center for CD storybooks...

 All of our books are organized by theme now!  This makes teaching so much easier and encourages us all to read even more than before!

 Computer Center...

 

 Puzzles and Games Center...

Toys and Manipulatives (Fine Motor Construction)...These are rotated regularly.

 Our Block Center... 

 Our Math Center... 

Our Science and Sensory Center... 

 These are our sensory table tubs!  I switch what is in our sensory table regularly!

Our Light Table Center... 

 Our Art Studio and Writer's Workshop Centers...*Update: I have added pocket charts with monthly vocabulary words to encourage creative writing in this area since taking this photo.

 

Our arts and crafts, and writing supplies...

 Our Music and Movement Center...

 The kids have access to tons of gross motor toys, a radio with kid's music CD's,
dancing scarves, and much more!  It is a perfect room for them to get their wiggles out!

 Our Dramatic Play Center...  This room changes regularly!  I have prop boxes that I use to transform the space into places such as a doctor's office, an ice cream shop, a camping site, etc.  

Our grocery market...

We have play dishes, pots & pans, play food, counting cans, grocery store items, color sorting food baskets, cameras, play phones, microphones, pretend video camera, pretend cleaning supplies, purses & wallets, play food, cash registers, play restaurant supplies, tablecloths for the table setting, baby dolls and accessories...

Our Interactive Circle Time Wall...

Calendar and weather...
 
Monthly theme poster, hide 'n' seek letters, color of the day, character word of the month, shape of the month, number line/numbers of the month, letters of the month, and sight words of the month...
 
 Bubble Gum Words!  How do we spell?  We stretch it out!
We practice spelling and reading CVC/CCVC words...

 World map and country of the month...

 The circle wall displays are hung on hooks.  I take them down everyday so the kids can have them at eye level and they can fully interact with what is being taught each day!

 We live on a cul-de-sac with lot's of room to ride bikes and scooters.  

This is our backyard outdoor play area...

 Lot's of room to run!

 Our outdoor picnic eating area...

Another perk...Everything and I mean EVERYTHING is labeled for the kids.  They are able to clean up their toys because our buckets of toys and the space on the shelves are all labeled with pictures and words.  This makes our clean up time easier for the kids, and helps them feel even more empowered!

 We also have labels on various items to create a "print rich" environment!  This helps the kids with beginning reading skills!
