"The secret of good teaching is to regard the child's intelligence as a fertile field in which seeds may be sown, to grow under the heat of flaming imagination."

Transition Tuesday

JUKE BOX

Glue copies of rhymes, songs, or finger plays to old CDs or 4 ½” circles.  Place in a gift bag or box and write “Juke Box” on the front.  When you’ve got a few extra minutes pull out the “Juke Box.”  Give a child a pretend quarter to put in the “Juke Box” and choose a song or rhyme.  According to research, most classrooms waste 20% of the day having children wait, line up, wash their hands, clean up, etc.  What a super simple way to take advantage of those teachable moments!
