Academic Learning: Foundational Practices

Creating a rich learning environment

Teachers create rich learning environments by using materials, routines, and activities that reinforce language, literacy, and math skills throughout the curriculum and throughout the day. For example, the art center may have letters or words, and the music center may contain materials with mathematic concepts and numbers.
