Coach's Corner

Classroom Organization Teaching Practice: I use zoning practices or move around the classroom to interact and engage with children in play, routines, and learning activities.
Instructional Practices: Responding to Language With More Language
I respond to children’s correct answers with the follow-up questions about what made the child think or say that. I respond to incorrect answers with specific information to help child learn about the correct answer.
How about this?
Question Toss – Teach children to answer a question while staying active with question toss. Ask a question then throw the ball to a student. The student answers the question then asks a related follow-up question. The student throws the ball to another student. The second student follows the same directions as the first student by answering the question and asking a related question. This continues until someone is unable to think of an answer, a question, or an on-topic response to a question.
