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!)
Try setting up centers on a schedule during the week. For example, maybe only have centers on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Tuesday and Thursday can be dedicated to instructional time. |

| Comments: I like your idea of an alternating schedule. In addition to alternating the days, maybe centers could take the place of morning work and students can move into their center as soon as they enter the room. This may also help them wake up and get prepared for the day. |

| Comments: I think that alternating days will be a great way to stay on top of subjects that need to be taught in instructional time. It will also give the students certain days to interact socially with each other. Alternation will be helpful in providing an outline for the teacher and be a great organizational tool. |

| Comments: I think scheduling centers for a few days a week is a great idea. Allowing students to participate in centers occasionally throughout the week will reinforce the collaborative and social skills necessary for their development. This strategy will also allow for grater focused instructional time on the days where students do not have centers time. |
