Second Grade Book Buddies





Choice Board




Children learn through play!
The choice board is a list of all the centers(areas) we have in our classroom with corresponding spaces with the capacity in each area. Children need to put their names next to an area of interest. These children are responding to the calls of their own ideas. They spread themselves fairly even throughout the room. Children are trusted to become involved with purposeful activity of their own choosing for a period of time. Choices encourage conversation, negotiation for shared space and materials. Choice board gives the children an opportunity to socialize, pursue their own interests, make decisions and solve problems. The children are free to make choices from those that are offered on the board and are encouraged to try a variety of choices during that particular period. Choice Board is a scheduled time each day so students can participate in the development of 'choice'.
You will be able to explore our centers during Open House on October 14th.
