A Day Without Screens

A ten week unit that gives a child a set of sixteen things she can do and teaches her to choose from them without being told. She starts by doing the card she is handed and finishes by laying out a row of cards for a whole day in her own order. The word screen is never said to the children. This unit gives no advice about devices and sets no rules for families.
