Centers vs. Complete Free Play... Which to Choose and How to Manage It?

[LittleScholars]

This is all so helpful! It gives me a lot to think about. To start, I think I'm going to beef up a few centers (particularly writing/fine motor and sensory play). I have great items for these centers, but they require that I really lead them because of how they are organized. I think I'll make these tools more accessible, especially to the big kids.
