This is a great book, especially for a beginning preschool teacher. It really sets the stage for how you want your classroom to look and makes learning fun!

A MUST FOR ANY EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATOR!!!!!

THE BOOK BASICALLY GIVES YOU TONS OF IDEAS FOR THE PHYSICAL CLASSROOM ITSELF, THE CENTERS TO USE IN THE CLASSROOM, HOW TO SEND THE CHILDREN TO THE CENTERS, AND GREAT DESCRIPTIONS OF WHAT TO PLACE IN THE CENTERS. BEST OF ALL IS YOU CAN MAKE THE ITEMS YOURSELF. IT'S TERRIFFIC! ONCE YOU READ THE IDEAS IT'S LIKE --O WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THAT. BUY THIS BOOK IF YOU WANT TO HAVE THE BEST AND MOST DIVERSE CENTERS AROUND!!!!

Wonderful Ideas from a wonderful teacher/author

My purpose for buying this book was to give ideas to a new teacher for setting up her room, but even after teaching for 30 years I found many new/creative ideas for my room as well. Thanks, Dr. Jean!!
