Flacka This is a good time for the teachers to: take anecdotal notes, ask the children open-ended thinking questions (tell me about.., what were you thinking when you built..., what do you think would happen if you..), extend a skill or activity that was taught in class, get to know the students on a personal level, engage in conversation with them, read ...See More
