There is nothing quite like feeling like you are at “home”!

I especially enjoy those “quiet” times with my class, and they are 8 and 9 years old. I find that every “too scheduled” event is becoming less desirable in our class, and we much more enjoy the rotations I have set up. Everyone gets a lot more done, I get to focus much more on helping those who need it, I get to challenge more, I get to observe more, and most importantly, I also get to model the behaviour I like to see. During reading time, I read. I do some work during rotations too.
We get on well during those much more relaxed times. Why not, I ask?
Have you found that those things that seem to be (more) acceptable in pre-schools are often frowned upon with older children? I certainly have! Yet some of the best ideas come from the early childhood area!

I love it too, Kristin. Those children love their school–it’s in their body language. Awesome.
