[quote=Anonymous]What I know about Tools- in preschool/pre-k is that it uses a lot of dramatic play where students act out roles, based on a theme such as family life, grocery store, hopsital. The theme changes every 6-8 weeks (I think). Before the kids play they have to make a plan about what they want to do and draw a picture and/or write about what they are going to do. They also do this thing called scaffolded writing where the kids practice drawing shapes before they start writing letters. The goal of tools is to encourage more self control and executive funciton (planning, strategizing, organizing, setting goals,)[/quote]
