an activity together.

would limit child-directed activities to
provide more time and energy for
teacher-directed.
● Better groupings versus free choice as
students are used to in classroom.
● Break up mini-lesson, motivator, and
messing around portion
● Pull more information from child-
directed through informal assessment
