Centers is my favorite time of the day!

[@anitagaildemitroff1541]

Hear! Hear! If there is opposition in the US, imagine what it may be like in other places of the world! Thank you for putting up the theory that informs the practice. Please give us bibliography so that we can read up and be better informed when promoting this practice.

It should be pretty easy to research

[@anitagaildemitroff1541]

@@sakinabivins9415 Thank you for your comment. I was referring to the studies mentioned in the original talk. However, I agree that finding material ourselves should be easy and will have a look.

Thank you 🙏😊

[@anonanon9447]

what even is a preschool without centres?? like what do they expect children this age to be able to do lol

[@PreKPagesvideos]

Exactly!

[@kaitlinduan]

That’s what I was thinking!

[@ms.k4526]

Hello, I'm wondering what is the best way to deal with kids sharing time at centers. In other words, do you manage how long someone is allowed to use a center? What if a center is popular and everyone wants to use that center. How do you manage the time or help them take turns if you don't have a lot of adult support and a large class.

This blog post explains how I managed centers in my own classroom with large class sizes (20+) with no assistant. www.pre-kpages.com/how-to-manage-free-choice-learning-centers-in-preschool/
