II. Physical Environment and Play

Study the pictures below. What have you observed? Do you think this kind of learning environment will help learners for
honing their talent, skill, and interest in arts?

Name:_________________________________________Teaching Arts in Elementary Grades 3

Process Question:
1. Why is the physical environment important for learning especially in teaching arts?

Why is the physical environment important for learning?

A well-arranged environment should enhance children’s

development through learning. It facilitates classroom management
and supports the implementation of curricular goals and
objectives. The way the physical environment is designed and
configured influences how children feel, act, and behave. The
physical environment allows growth and
development through activities and materials in defined art areas.
Room arrangement for art
activity plays an important role in students’ creativity and
interactions. Poorly designed classrooms can cause disruptions and
negative social interactions among students and/or between students
and the teacher.
Students can become frustrated when they do not have an organized
environment to call their own. The physical environment is a direct
image of the teacher’s planning and the student’s
learning. It is where both teachers and students will spend most of
their time and a place, they can call their own and relate to. It should be well organized, comfortable, and personable and
offer a variety of manipulates for cognitive, social, emotional, and physical development

Definition of the Environment

Some people may see the environment as insignificant, but for teachers, parents, and
educators it is something that needs to be considered a high priority. Environment is defined as the physical environment,
its surroundings, and a specific setting. The physical environment will vary depending on the age and number of children
in the classroom, as well as the goals of programs and specific activities in the classroom.
However, the most important space in which activities will be performed is the play area.
Having a cozy, warm, and homelike environment in the classroom provides learners with a
healthy social/emotional environment.

The physical environment for a toddler classroom has eating, napping, diapering, toileting, and playing areas. Play
continues to be very important, and learning centers become more obvious for this age-group. Areas are subdivided into
dramatic, block, art, library, manipulative, and science learning centers. Toddlers need spaces that allow them to
experiment, explore, and discover things around their environment. They are constantly moving or on the go and need
many opportunities to practice newly emerging skills.
The preschool classroom will have similar physical space needs to the toddler classroom. The
only difference is the diapering area, no longer needed in the preschool classroom.

Classroom Environment
Classroom environment plays a crucial role in cultivating creativity and confidence in students. Teachers can make
classroom environment where each student’s voice matters a lot. Getting involved with the students in the community is
the best way to give push to their creativity. Here how teachers can make classroom environment more effective for their
students.

Permit frequent discussion and interaction amid students in the classroom.

Make time for informal class opportunity for the students.
Memorize each student’s name meanwhile ensure every student knows everyone’s name.

III.Brainstorming

Study the pictures given below. What do you think do the pictures trying to convey?

Teachers can use brainstorming as a thinking strategy to help students generate questions, ideas, and examples
and to explore a central idea or topic. During brainstorming, students share ideas that come to mind and record these ideas
without making judgements about them. When introducing a topic, teachers can use brainstorming sessions to determine
what students already know or wish to learn, and to provide direction for learning and reflection. Brainstorming stimulates
fluent and flexible thinking and can also be used to extend problem-solving skills.

IV. Conference
During a student–teacher conference, students can report on their progress, consider problems and solutions, and note
strengths and areas for improvement. Teachers can discuss students’ work with pairs or small groups of students in order
to facilitate learning. Conferences therefore require an inviting and supportive atmosphere to encourage open discussion,
as well as a high level of trust between participants. Conferences provide teachers with an opportunity to guide and
support learners and a forum for students to demonstrate their learning through discussion, sketchbooks, or portfolios.
