DAILY ACTIVITY SCHEDULE

7:00 ARRIVAL and BREAKFAST- Students do the morning routine as they arrive(question of the day & sign in) before eating breakfast.

Students share, join in, make meaning and make connections to build reading comprehension, book knowledge, and/or phonemic awareness. Do connecting activities( charts, graphs, songs, etc) to build oral language, social skills, science/math concepts and various literacy skills. 

9:20 PLAY PLANS and CENTERS: Students make a plan for play, deciding where they want to go, who they want to play with and what they want to play.

1:00 REST TIME: Rest time is important as children's developing brains need rest time to process everything they learned throughout the day.

Our day has a mix of student led, play based, and teacher directed lessons and activities. Movement is infused throughout the day and a child’s attention span is taken into consideration as well. This is our daily routine. The routine will not often change. However, it may be adjusted based on students’ needs, situations( fire drills, etc) and classroom events.
