I am curious how this will look in a JK/K mixed classroom.

Student choice is prioritized. Students have opportunities built in to practice literacy skills. The thinking and feedback protocol is great and could help extend learning.

I notice that teachers get to deeply engage students in reflection during the center time and the teacher was working with students individually to expand their thinking. I wonder, with our CPS schedules, what the role of small group work during centers will be.

I heard the teacher say "we had the writing center for 2 days" and no one went. Do the students have choice over where they go? Now, teachers strategically plan who goes where, to ensure they are also fitting in their guided reading groups in a planned way.

I looks like the center structure really offers opportunity to build independence, collaboration, and problem-solving

NOTICE: student choice of centers, teacher introduces center activities- I haven't see that before,

QUESTIONS: what does it take to set these centers up? Thematic based?

HOW: I love it, allows students to give each other feedback and be as a source of knowledge and advice

students' vocabulary - using language such as 'feedback'

How do teachers have time to explicitly teach the literacy skills needed to complete some of the literacy tasks in centers? HOw long is Centers supposed to be?

I noticed strategic facilitation by the teacher. She is not just at one center, but making sure to be at multiple centers, asking questions to extend student thinking and learning.

I noticed choice and independence which are central to our Montessori approach as well (but in a different way)

I noticed the teacher had visual supports, word banks, and images at centers to support students' independence at centers.I noticed the teacher OBSERVED and SHIFTED her plans b/c students weren't choosing the center.

Thinking & Feedback is absolutely essential to this model. Students benefit from hearing each other's thoughts and reflections. Teachers who can document this and turn it into a literacy routine see a lot of growth as well.

Teacher is writing down a lot of what students say and capturing their thoughts. I appreciate this. As a parent, I enjoy getting pictures of the anchor charts or student ideas from the week to see student voice happening in the classroom.

Teachers are also supposed to engage with students in the centers, where does that leave room for guided reading?

I love the positive culture that fosters growth mindset!  They are not only learning from the teacher, but from eachother.

I'm wondering how often centers are supposed to change and what happens if the work is not rigorous enough at the center.  I see kids plowing through word sorts and tasks that aren't always rigorous.

Question: Is the thinking and feedback protocol the way she wrapped up centers on the carpet?  Or is it also the questions the teacher asks while students are at centers?
