SCHOOL TIMETABLE

Arrivals:

We open the classroom door and greet the children. They say their good-byes to parents and come on in! We have a clipboard with all their names and a blank space beside them. The children find their name and draw a line from left to right. As they are ready, they can write some or all of the letters in their names. This is just one of many name activities that we do in our classroom.

 

Morning Meeting:

Once all the children have arrived, we gather on the carpet to say good morning to each other. We announce who is the class helper for the day and who has the sharing box. We then introduce what we will be doing that morning, sometimes passing items to view. We keep it very short and simple, but it sets the tone for our day.

 

Free-choice centers:

 

Clean up

 

Gym

We are lucky to reside in a church that has a large fellowship hall. We get to use it everyday. We spend a good 30 minutes in the gym moving our entire body. We enjoy this time with a basketball hoop, scooters and much more.

 

Circle time:

Snack time:

As the children are dismissed from circle, they go to the sink to wash hands and eat.

 

Music and movement:

Once snack is finished, one of the teachers will lead music and movement at our circle time area while the other teacher cleans the snack tables, getting them ready for small groups.

 

Departures:

Children are dismissed from 4pm. They gather their bags and are greeted by their parents or caregivers at our classroom door. We offer extended care for those who are interested, so those children stay until the extended care teacher comes and gets them.
