Day 172: Less is More

I am a firm believer that dittos,

worksheets, practice pages, 

adult created,

close-ended,

fill in the blank sheets

don't belong in the early childhood classroom.

There.

I said it.

Here were my directions today:

*Draw 10 butterflies. Count them. Label them if you can.

Look at what happened:

I'm not saying I will never use a worksheet

or send them home for practice and homework,

I'm just saying you can get so much more information from not using one.
