"Ms. G. it's too loud! I can't hear".. and in our Kindergarten classroom this is both good and bad. Our classroom IS loud, it IS fun, and it IS a place for exciting learning. However, when it comes to independent seat work such as reading, learning to sound out words, writing stories, etc., sometimes five year-olds don't know the power of their voice. Soon 18 children are all sounding out words at the top of their lungs, albeit, they are excited and engaged with their learning, it is not conducive to a quality work environment.
