Learning Centres: Presentation

Last year I attended a course for English teachers where they encourage us to create learning centres in our classroom. 

This our centres poster!

A learning centres is a space in the classroom that provides the students the opportunity to engage in an activity to enrich their learning. 

When kids listen to the bell, they tidy up their centre 

and get ready to move on.

We are creating and buying different resources and materials that provide a hands-on learning experience. Those have been our first centres:

1. Memory game.

2. Match the sticks.

3. Clothes pins and letters.

4. Numbers 1 to 10.

5. Match the ice creams.

6. Numbers 11 to 20.

It goes without saying that kids love this methodology! They work in groups, speak English and learn while they PLAY and HAVE FUN!
