6:30 to 9:30 – Welcome & Learning Center Exploration.
I get into my classroom, and we have a delicious and very nutritious breakfast. Then, I greet my friends as they come into the classroom, while I am exploring my classroom learning centers. I use my imagination in the dramatic play area, or I build new worlds in the blocks and Legos section. These among other great, fun, and educating activities.
9:30 to 10:00 – Circle Time
This is when we get together as a whole class. We do the calendar, talk about the weather, the letter and/or theme of the week, and say the Pledge. We usually read a book during this time. We also do literacy and math activities, games, songs, etc. This is a great time to participate, connect and talk.
10:00 to 10:30 – Snack
Around this time, my friends and I usually go to the restroom as a group, and we all wash our hands before snack. Then we have snack time together. We like to socialize and talk. During this times if we are done early, we are allowed to choose from a few “quiet choices” (reading, writing, drawing, puzzles, etc.).
10:30 to 11:00 – Literacy Centers/Art
We get to go by small groups to different literacy and art centers during this time. We get to go to our classroom library and chose a book to read, or we go to our writing center to explore some letters and sounds. We also get to do some art and crafts. We love to use our imagination.
11:00 to 11:30 – Outside Play
This is my favorite part of the day. We get to use the playground for free play during this time if the weather allows us. We do movement and gross motor play inside if we can’t go outside.
11:30 to 12:15 – Lunch
We all sit down for lunch, chatting and eating together. If we are done early, we can choose some quiet choices. We always clean up after ourselves.
12:15 to 2:15 – Naptime
This is the time we get to rest, and have a quiet time to re-energize ourselves for the rest of the day.
2:15 to 3:00 – Snack
As we are waking up, we sit at the tables to have our second snack time together. We like socialize and talk during this times. If we are done early, we are allowed to choose from a few “quiet choices” (reading, writing, drawing, puzzles, etc.).
3:00 to 3:30 – Story Time
We make sure everyone’s packed up and ready to go home. Then it’s time for one more read aloud, and recall what we have learned during the day.
3:30 to 6:00 – Free play
During this time, we get to use the playground for free play. If we stay inside, we do movement and gross motor play again, and we also get to go to our play centers. This is a fun part of the day because I get to play, and use my imagination together with my friends. We have some much Fun!!!
SERVICES:
Your child will be involved in whole group activities, individual activities and active play.
We are a Early Leaning Center that cares for children ages 6-weeks to 5-years old. We offer a comprehensive early education based on exploration and play. We are also partnered with the NYC DOE to provide the 3K for all program to the families of our community.
HOW WE DO IT:
Whole Group Activities
Circle time is a whole group activity where the children will be exposed and involved in daily routines (such as calendar information, days of the week, months of the year, etc.), Balanced Literacy lessons (alphabet recognition and activities), Everyday Mathematics lessons, story time, music and socialization.
INDIVIDUAL ACTIVITIES:
During center time the children will be able to explore their own interests and desires for learning. (Centers that will be available are: ABC, blocks, puzzles, table toys, kitchen area, math, puppets, drawing, painting, etc.) Each child will be able to work individually but, at the same time, will be involved with the other children as they learn a sense of responsibility, achievement, and respect for each other.
