Carol's Reflection on Taberski, Chapter 3

I would love my life to be as organized as Taberski's classroom and routine. Every element has a purpose and works toward accomplishing goals that have been set. Could I picture my kindergarten class doing well in this environment? I'm thinking of the easily distracted, the reluctant readers, and the ones that need to be moving around and playing. Although I may reach the diverse learners during individual conferences, it would be a challenge for me to assure that they are on task reading after they leave me or that they would focus during a 30 minute whole-group meeting. I would be very curious to see how Taberski introduces her nontraditional approach at the beginning of the school year and how the types of students mentioned above adapt to being responsible for independent learning within the daily routine.
