Case: Kindergarten Center Time
As a Kindergarten teacher, I am torn between allowing students to participate in centers daily, or not allowing them to participate in centers to allow for more instructional time. I find it very hard to teach every subject within one day, so many times, there is not time for centers. I do allow my students to go to the playground daily, but I simply do not have enough time left over within a day to allow them to participate in centers within the classroom as well. I know that participating in centers allows Kindergarten students to learn social and cooperative skills, but I just don't have time to allow them to do this everyday. What could I do in my classroom to make sure that these skills are being taught, with instructional time being used to its fullest to ensure that all of the standards are being taught?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Having centers is a time for the students to re-focus their energy into doing something other than learning at their tables or desks. I think if you incorporate centers within their daily schedule, and make it a routine this will help you and the kids expand their focus during the day. You can also integrate different subjects together, especially for Kindergarten. Science and Math go together great, even throwing in some literacy with these subjects. Be creative with your centers, and having different centers for each day that could be getting them ready for the next lesson. Centers can be fun, but still have the educational part in them. |
