2. What is the purpose of classroom learning centers?
3. What is the role of the students while engaged during learning centers?
4. What is the role of the teacher as the students are engaged during learning
centers?
5. Do you feel it is important to offer tasks that are developmentally
appropriate for all student ability levels? Why / Why not?
The classroom learning centers are very important in the classroom, each teacher must have a
learning centers and use it for her lessons. There are many learning centers in the classroom
and the most important that class should have math center, science center, literacy center and
role play center.
The purpose of importance the classroom learning centers is they are important for children
learning and it can help them improve their skills such as, they will practice their reading in the
reading area with reading stories or books, in the writing area they can improve their writing
skills. Also, they will be engaged in the lesson by that and understand it better.
The role of the students while engaged during learning centers is to try to improve their skills
and learn more, they will learn the materials names in the center they are play on it. While the
role of the teacher while the students are engaged during learning centers is to observe them
and try to help them if they need a help.
And finally, yes I feel it is important to offer tasks for all student ability levels, because its important for
them while they do it and its about their ability. For example, low-level student will cant do the task for
the high-level students because they didnt have their ability. So thats why tasks for all students ability
levels very important.
