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.
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.
