Telling Time.
Chenfeld, Mimi Brodsky
Phi Delta Kappan, v78 n6 p475 Feb 1997
Sometimes, the incidental, in-between, hang-loose, unstructured times in classrooms are teachers' and students' best times together. Examples are songs sung together before the bell rings for assembly, the anecdotes children share before daily morning exercises begin, and the complicated hand/clap/chants students teach each other in the "free time" before the math lesson.
