[quote=Anonymous]So much of this is school-by-school, from class sizes to number of times kids go outside a day (and the threshold for indoor recess). In general, though, excpect very little direct instruction and a lot of group work in the early years. Kids move through "stations" for literacy and math, and a well-run classroom will mean the stations have some differentiation and also allow kids to use their mind/bodies in different ways. So, if the current exercise is adding two-digit numbers, you might have one group doing simple worksheet, another group using popsicle stills to visualize the problem, and a group playing an active game at the Promethean Board where you use the giant touchscreen to "pop" the correct answer as it floats across the screen in a bubble. The final group would be meeting with the teacher. [/quote]
