Simply covering the shelves with sheets, or flipping around shelves on wheels, or adding a stop sign can help minimize distractions and support children’s successful engagement with the group. Teachers in such classrooms can get creative! The block area can be a perfect space for large-group activities. In some smaller classrooms, this simply is not possible. This doesn’t mean you need a spot just for group activities. Having designated spaces for these activities and designing them to minimize distractions can help you make the most of these times. Morning meetings and story times build classroom community and literacy skills. Although children learn primarily through play, it is also important to plan areas for large-group meetings or activities.
