Choice time is the most important time of the day for young children! It is the time when they consolidate their STEM and literacy learning from the day. It offers opportunities for collaboration, leadership, and problem solving.
When children collaborate with their classmates to build Magna-Tile towers, count board games spaces, construct HotWheel race courses, give change from a cash register, form letters out of play dough, build words and match rhyming sounds, they are also applying academic learning and building the social-emotional skills they will need to become independent and confident learners.
Choice time also supports student agency and independence; children choose which activity they will pursue and problem solve with their classmates as the work together to complete a project. The practice collaboration and creativity.
