Reflect

It has been over a year since my last post. I started on a journey a year ago this past fall that seems to have completely occupied my time and thoughts. I have been reflecting on my teaching practices, but not writing them down as much. As this journey is drawing to an end, I realized that I missed a golden opportunity to write my thoughts and experiences here and not just in the papers I'm writing for the classes I have been taking to achieve a Master's degree. Hopefully, I complete this journey in May. Until then my intentions are to start writing thoughts that I am pondering. This will help me think through questions and wonderings I have about teaching and learning.

Sharing Centers

We have three Pre-K teachers at my school and since our classrooms are all together, we share centers. Half of our class goes outside while the other half is in center explorations. We do not have a center rotation, but we allow the children to move freely between all three classrooms choosing their center and which classroom they wish to play in during center time. It is a little hectic at first, but absolutely worth it later in the year when we are working with children at centers individually and the other children are fully engaged in their "work".
