Walking into prekindergarten during Classroom Learning Time (CLT) you might see students working in small groups with a teacher or peers, whole group instruction, and open classroom play and exploration. Teachers structure this time in a variety of ways, weaving early literacy, math, fine motor, play, and discovery into their instruction and practice.
