First Lesson Plan

Hey all! 

My first official Lesson Plan is on Teachers Pay Teachershttp://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Free-Play-Management-and-Procedures-751647 !  It is a lesson plan about free play in the classroom.  I love free play time for my kindergartners, but it is becoming an activity time that is becoming extinct in so many classrooms.   It is being replaced by longer rigorous lessons and testing.

Awesome lesson plan on procedure and management to make classroom free time more fun, manageable and effective!

Free play promotes creativity, problem solving, originality, and rich language experiences.  I could go on and on about the importance and benefits of  free play. The article by Alliance for Childhood is excellent and should be read.

I know many teachers dread the idea free play because it means bedlam!

Organizing free play time can make all the difference in making this an important part of the kindergarten day.  The key to teaching is procedures and management.
