Our Day

Do you wonder what your little one's day is like at school? We follow a basic structure each day so that the kids know what to expect, and what is expected of them. We always start our day the same way - we go over the calendar and discuss the month, day & year. We talk about the weather and seasons, and then we have our class leader for the day lead us in the Pledge of Allegiance. Did you know your little one could say the pledge? Ask them to repeat it to you.

After the pledge it is time for our lesson. Today we had a lesson on our five senses and Miss JaNae introduced a new work available for the children to do on smelling. You can find out what our daily lessons are on by looking at the calendar that Miss JaNae sends home every month.

Once the lesson is over for the day it is time for the children to go to work.  They are excused from the mat and allowed to work on whatever they choose.  The classroom is divided up into different basic areas.  There are sections for mathematics, language, and practical life.  There is also a reading and listening center.  The children can work independently or with a teacher in one of these areas on a project of their choice.  Each area has dozens of different activities to choose from.

The children love their work time.  Once work time is over we gather back around the carpet to do Show and Share.  This is one of the children's favorite activities.  Each day two children are picked to bring a show and share surprise and they get the opportunity to teach about it from the clues they picked with their parent.  They are always so excited to show off their treasures.  Once show and share is over we take a break for a snack, thoughtfully provided by our snack friend of the week.  Once snack is over with we gather around for a last round of songs or a story and our day is over.  Whew!  Who knew your children were getting so much accomplished.
