Play Planning: Where We Are
In small groups…
• Poll where classrooms are so far – Color-‐coded play areas – Well-‐defined play areas
– Well-‐provisioned play areas
– Management system choose-‐say-‐go – Sustained play indicate # of minutes
• List pluses and minuses so far…
Each group share…
• a plus and why a plus
• a minus and what to do about it 1 idea
Why play planning…today…
Three big reasons!
• Inhibitory control resis7ng distrac7ons • Working memory mentally holding and using
informa7on
• CogniHve flexibility adjus7ng to change
Essen7als for success in school and life…
A look ahead to play planning in 2011
Provided that…(1) a play management system is in place and (2) play is sustained by some most of the 7me period (75%)
Then…introduce choose-‐say-‐draw-‐go 4 year olds
Procedure: • T + TA iniHate choose-‐say-‐go; then T works with ‘ready’ 4 year olds while TA monitors
movement to play centers • T models what to do on large chart paper that illustrates the play plan paper. She says:
This 7me before you go to play, you will draw a picture of what you plan to play, like this…I am pretending that I am going to blocks to make a house. First…I put my name up here…like this. Next…I draw me and my friend in the blocks here… like this. Then I say what I am going to play, like this. Now I’d like you try to do that today…and I will help you.
• T hands out the play plan paper + a small clip board + a marker to each child. She encourages the children to make their names and to make a ‘quick sketch’ of what they plan to play.
• T collects the play plan papers for reference during play Hme. She puts them on her clip board.
• Aeer play Hme, she puts the individual plans in child-‐folders.
Step 1: T + TA iniHate play Hme choose-‐say-‐go
Any type of token can be used to organize/manage play acHvity
Step 2: T models draw porHon of play plan
Note the line for the word
Step 3: T hands out play plan paper + clipboard + marker
• half sheet of manila paper • line for name • line for boSom of drawing space • line for name of the center
Put drawing here.
Step 4: T collects and stores play plans on her clipboard during play Hme
T uses the plans to help remind children of what they planned to do … and/or note when children change plans, and what their new plan is…
Step 5: T puts daily play plans in individual child folders or porholios
A liSle bit of pracHce…
• pairs • clipboards + markers • model play planning • play plan of your choice!
Phonological Awareness Developmental Sequence
Phonological Awareness -‐-‐ aLending to sounds in words
Key Ac<vi<es
In Topic Study; in HT… • Songs • Chants • Rhymes • Finger plays • Word play • Poems/stories 1 rhyme, poem, finger play or story each week; sing everyday
Rou<ne
The T…
• Recites • Recites and invites • Recites some and C echo
• Recites and invites • Invites child-‐led
Teaching Rhyme
• Explain that rhymes are words that have endings that sound the same
• Demonstrate examples of words that rhyme
• Use words from poems; songs; rhymes, etc. Rhymes are words that sound the same at the end. Bat rhymes with cat; man rhymes with can. Does ball rhyme with tall? Yes! Ball rhymes with tall. Not all words rhyme. Does book rhyme with cup? No! Book does not rhyme with cup. Book ends with –ook and cup ends with –up. Let’s check: does all rhyme with tall? Yes! Does cow rhyme with bird? No! Now I am going to say some words and I want you to tell me if they rhyme.
Teaching AlliteraHon
• Explain that you will listen for the first sound you hear in a word.
• Demonstrate listening for the first sound; use the first sound of a child’s name; point to your mouth; cup your ear; stretch the sound of the first leSer.
• Use songs or rhymes that are familiar to children. Listen! B is the leLer that sounds like buh in words like ball, bat and bee. Who has a word that starts with buh to share with us?
Singing-‐Reading Connec<on
F Y I
Sing songs with… rhyming words silly words alliterative words long, stretched-out words
Sing songs… slow fast a lot
When the first sounds sound alike As in Betsy bought a bike, Or Steve's still standing at the station, We call that alliteration.

Back to play…one more Hme
Creating play areas as activity pockets… *spaces with boundaries & entries *spaces with size, shape & height *spaces with a variety of things to do *spaces with complex things to do
The P Hilton Case
Ms Hilton has a class of 18 3&4 year olds in a standard classroom. During play Hme the children choose among the typical play areas…but the children have difficulty staying engaged in any one play area, so there’s lots of wandering about, silly stuff and outbursts now and then. SomeHmes she cuts play Hme short just to get things back in order. Yesterday, a 3 year old completed the 2 acHviHes in the Art area, wandered around a bit, and then asked Ms Hilton what she could do next. Two 4’s in blocks got mad because another child raced through the block area and knocked over their carefully constructed town. The puppet play area was mobbed and crowded! Ms Hilton needs help (she knows it), but she does not know where to begin…
