They have an idea, the children in the block area, that they've been trying to execute. That is one of the unique things about work time, the messy is celebrated. How do you feel about that? You have five minutes to get this resolved if you want to do this today, or you have tomorrow to work on it too. Speaker 1: So, Anya's saying that if you're a presenter with this paper, then maybe you should be outside the structure and watch the show. Speaker 1: Anya, you might want to think about how there can be less people inside and how everybody gets a turn inside.Īnya: Should be like outside and watching. Speaker 1: What's happening? Is it hard for you all to fit in the space?Īnya: Yeah, because there's like people bumping around and there's. It goes a lot further than saying, "You have to share." Speaker 1: Maybe a lesson that all of us can learn is learning that when we disagree with someone, we still have to be respectful and kind. Speaker 6: Work time gives them the opportunity in the school every day where they can have these conversation with their peers and really develop language, this is what they're going to be doing for the rest of their lives. Student: Wait, actually one more, just one more game. Student: Can you let go of the vehicle for just one minute? How much? Speaker 5: Sanai and Amanda sit next to him, because if he gets nervous he needs one of you to support him. Student: Okay, then you can't drop it, you have to catch it. Student: You never hold a clapboard before? Speaker 4: From the very beginning where we're asking children to make decisions about where they want to work, they're really thinking about a place where they're going to be engaged, which right away once a child is engaged naturally tons of language will flow from that. Speaker 1: Work time is materials exploration where children can use materials thoughtfully and bring their own ideas, they make their own choices, it's open-ended. Speaker 3: I think this is going to be an interesting lesson in space, don't you? Speaker 2: "I remember there was blocks and there was water play, and let me think, what would be my first choice? What would be my second choice?" This is planning for life. Speaker 3: Painting will be at table two, please get your table ready. "Gee, I have work time tomorrow, let's see, what am I going to do?" Speaker 2: Kids have choice about what to read and choice about what to write, but the choice about what materials to use, where to work. It's time to look at our work time chart and think about what area do we want to work in today, but we're going to pick more than one choice. Speaker 3: If you're ready for work time, pick at least two choices.

Speaker 2: There's lots of research that shows that depriving children of play is really stunting their development, so the question is not, "Aren't you taking away from learning by letting them play?" I think the question is, "Aren't you preventing their development by not allowing them to play?" You learn so much of how to navigate life, and without navigating life you can't navigate school. It is their creativity, it is their language, and when you walk into a classroom where there's no play, then the invention that's theirs is not present as well.
