After 12 days of school, we are gettig into the flow of our day.
Here's a review.
Some pictures are from today; others are pictures on' this years visual schedule.
Arrival
Today's creation during arrival time.
Morning Gathering
Each morning gathering has the same four things.
We Unite ...
by singing one song which reminds us of Jesus and another one to help us greet our school family.
We Disengage Stress ...
by taking deep breaths and reminding ourselves to listen.
We Connect ...
by doing what is called an "I Love You Ritual," which is some sort of poem we do with a partner.
We Cheer our Commitment for the Day ...
Everyday!
We keep each other safe!
Everyday!
We share God's love!
Everyday!
Choice Time
A vital segment of our day!
The following are just a few examples of the children engaging their imagination and creativity.
Outside Time
We love, love, love our outside time!
This is from our first Thursday together!
Today the children had a wonderful time playing with their friends and for some seeing their brothers or sister from Mrs. Douglas' class.
Jesus Time
We have Jesus time four days a week and chapel one day a week.
Today we danced and sang some fun Jesus songs.
Clean Up Time
For clean up time the children receive a small card with a picture on it. The card is tucked inside a name badge. They look at the picture and clean up just those items. At the end of the day the children said it helped make clean up time more fun. I call that a win!!
Small Group or Whole Group Time
During these first few days of school, we have been having mainly whole group activities, like this one when we put the parakeet house together.
In September we will break into two smaller groups. During these times, the children will practice various preschool skills, like letter writing and mathmatical experiences.
Lunch Time
Story Time
Right after lunch, we read stories while children use the bathroom.
Naptime
They are doing great during this time of day!
Look at Books
Currently that is what we are doing.
Another choice as the year progresses will be drawing in their journals.
Goodbye!
Before we leave, we gather one more time on our gathering rug.
We review our day, say a prayer, and sing our good-bye song.
