Today I was in teacher B's classroom and the students were led through a brainstorming lesson. Each student was given a piece of paper and pencil, and when the teacher said a topic, the students were to write down as many things as they could think of. Spelling didn't matter as much as writing down good ideas. The word that Teacher B gave the students was "night." Students came up with some of the following ideas:

Today I shadowed Teacher C, a shop and science support teacher at the local friends school where Teachers A and B teach. Today, Teacher C had a group of 6 kindergarteners that he was taking around the grounds of the school. They were looking at the various gardens on the grounds. Teacher C feels like for students of this age, a teacher must define vocabulary and bring it down to their level. He has students engage in drawing and coloring activities to see what they have observed in the gardens.
