I agree with you that sometimes when you witness teaching techniques or behaviors that you disagree with that those instances stick with you more than maybe the good ones. I had an experience this week along those lines and I definitly will remember it for a long time and learned something valuable that I will take with me into my classroom. I have also wondered if kindergarten children still do dramatic play because so far I have not seen it. There day seems so structured, primarily around academics, that there doesn't seem as if there would be much free time for it. Having worked in pre-k last year, I know how much kids love it. I think a great opportunity to use it is when the students are learning about the various elements of literacture... characters, plot, etc. It's also a great way for the children to retell a story for better understanding. I'll be in a new Kindergarten class next week at Span which I'm really looking forward to, so hopefully I'll have some great stuff to share on my blog.Allison Bondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08774677014602913158noreply@blogger.com
