I start most days with "Choice Time." In a usual Grade 1 classroom most free time happens in the afternoon after the academics have been completed. In my Grade 1/2 class I have found that it is easier to get kids in through the doorway when they start school with something they have chosen to do. The rules are you can do anything sensible and use anything you see in the room. By doing this I can see how and what students are thinking. On occasion, the creativity and play that occurs can set the whole day in motion and create a theme for the day. Playing with Lego. Making a puppet. Making a structure with boxes. It is amazing what stories you can create with Littlest Pet Shop.
