  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!)
I teach Kindergarten and my "centers" are always learning centers. They are learning in fun ways. I do not have time for students to really play during class time. There are too many standards to cover!
