Read / Write /Explore Time

Choice...we all want it.  But it's risky to let loose 25 wiggly, giggly little ones and allow them to explore the room and the learning activities that jazz them.

 But I'm willing to take that risk.  Because I know it empowers kids.

Here are some of the activities the kids are choosing in these early days.  As they choose, I learn about them as people and learners.

 I watch to see where they are at as collaborators and communicators.  I'm watching to see who sticks with what they start. I'm noticing who shows responsibility and stewardship.

I'm noticing...and loving getting to know each one of these precious children! We are off to a great start.
