I think it is appropriate to have posters and pictures up on the wall or in the areas to reinforce the ideas but the children will catch on to the ideas better if they have something to hold on to like a manipulative.

The accreditation programs want teachers to move away from commercial posters and pictures for early childhood (i.e. colors, shapes) on the walls and in the direction of manipulative items (i.e flash cards, blocks). I\’m not sure if I completely agree with it because if its on the wall students are likely to recognize it faster when they see it in real life and labeling helps students correspond the vocabulary that goes along with the items. What are other peoples thoughts on incorporating the wall decor learning tools vs manipulative\’s. However, I do believe that they need to be exposed to both not just one or the other.
