The hub and spoke classroom features a central gathering place that draws students together for circle-time activities. Learning stations radiate out from the central gathering place, so children can engage in activities that spark their enthusiasm. Low shelving units allow teachers and aides to see all children wherever they are in the room. Individual tables give children the space they need to work with manipulatives and materials.
The hub and spoke classroom should incorporate a large, central hub with a cozy atmosphere where they can gather for full class activities. Learning stations should be easily accessible from the central hub and feature storage areas so toys, manipulatives and other items are easy to locate as needed.
The hub and spoke classroom should maximize the ability to move between the central gathering area and various learning stations to offer guidance to student activity groups. Mobile writing surfaces give teachers a place to write notes or display a storybook to the whole class or to a small group. Furniture should feature a low profile, so teachers can easily observe all students in the room.
The best hub and spoke classroom should be furnished with items that help achieve the vision for that space. They need to know that all products are available at the time they are needed and that their order will arrive correctly and on time. Installations must be quick and efficient.
The School Outfitters' team designed an early learning classroom with furnishings that fit the hub and spoke arrangement of a central gathering place and radiating learning stations. The Group Gathering Area, Learning Stations Area, and Storage Area are designed to work together to let students easily engage in full-class activities as well as small group interactions.
The Group Gathering Area acts as a central meeting place and focal point of the classroom.
The Learning Stations Area is comprised of a variety of stations where students can participate in activities or games that focus on subjects ranging from reading and science to imaginative play.
The Storage Area keeps classroom supplies organized and easy to find. Storage units should feature a low profile, so teachers can observe all areas of the room. They may also be used to create dividers between each learning station.
