Clincals with Pre-K

I completed my fifty clock hours working in a pre-k room that followed the "creative curriculum" guidelines. I found this interesting because the teacher essentially guided the student's learning experiences while the students sort of lead the way. There was a daily routine that the teacher followed, but when it came to teaching activities, the students helped to guide the lesson. During most lessons, the teacher would pose questions in order to prompt the students' thinking. Then the teacher would write the students' responses on a large poster board. Afterwards, the teacher woud ask the students where they would like their poster board to be posted in the classroom? This was left entirely up to the students, and it gave complete control to the students. I found it funny to see some posters were up in the bathroom, on the radiators, hanging from the ceiling, etc!
