Everyone is encouraged to run! During this time children are able to create and express themselves through their own campaign promoting themselves around the school, children only are allowed to vote. At the end of the running a huge party is thrown, and everyone have a blast! Events like this is completely centered around the children as they run the show! ]]> 2023-06-25 02:42:30 UTC https://padlet.com/sharonmitchell1030/2pnrl0h6ifa2ikz8/wish/2631593825 Moving as a unit. sharonmitchell1030 https://padlet.com/sharonmitchell1030/2pnrl0h6ifa2ikz8/wish/2631597919 While everyone may not be working on the same tasks a few things are done in unison such as lunch, naps, and transitioning. We find that things tend to run more smoothly when those things are done in unison. Above is one of the cleanup songs that all teachers play when it is time to clean and transition to the next task. The catchy beat and dancing make cleaning fun. Once the song ends the children know to return to their seats and await their teacher's next set of instructions. In between each activity my class have an open discussion about what has previously taken place then I take suggestions on what the class look forward to doing next. ]]> 2023-06-25 03:06:48 UTC https://padlet.com/sharonmitchell1030/2pnrl0h6ifa2ikz8/wish/2631597919
