Routine

Here is a rough layout of the routine we are choosing to follow twice a week during the following time frame: 9:30am -11:45am

Anything with an (*) means see an additional note below.

9:30a- Kids dropped off and have unstructured playtime

9:55a- clean up and gather at a window for "What's the Weather?"*

10a- Sing Welcome Song* while kids sit on their mats

        At the end of the week we do 'Show and Tell'*

        Recite the Nursery Rhyme with some sort of movement activity to go along 

        Structured Lesson Time*: Introduce or Reinforce Letter.          

10:45a- Snack Time

11a - Unstructured Lesson Time

11:45a- Parents pick up their child.

"What's the Weather" is an opportunity for the kids to look outside and to decide what the weather is that day and then we mark it on our weather chart.  Our weather chart includes: sunny, rainy, cloudy, windy and snow

Welcome Song- Lyrics are as follows: 

'Oh here we are together, together, together

Oh here we are together in our preschool class,

There's (childs first name) and (childs first name)...etc... keep doing that until everyone is listed

Oh here we are together in our preschool class!'

Show and Tell is where the kids can bring something that displays the letter that week or the month's color, shape or theme.

Structured Lesson Time:  Things to include during the structured lesson time would be the letter, shape, numbers, color and to read a story.

Unstructured Lesson Time: Things that might fall under the unstructured time would be : Play, a craft, or coloring time
