Arrival/Attendance (chart)

Parents are asked to bring child in and help them put their coats and backpacks in their assigned cubby.  I will also have a sign in sheet that a parent/guardian will need to sign every morning when you drop your child off.  This ensures everyone that your child arrives safely at preschool.  If you have someone else dropping off/picking up your child I will need to know ahead of time.

Class Meeting

Every morning we will have a morning meeting to greet one another and talk about what     we will be doing for the day.  This is when I will explain the projects and activities for the days lesson.

During this time the children are allowed to explore the various centers throughout the room.  This is a free choice time and some of the centers that will be available are as follows: computer (on rotations), books, dramatic play, table toys such as puzzles, sorting, lacing, etc., blocks, coloring/drawing, and various age appropriate toys that will be rotated throughout the year.

Enrichment ~ During the free choice time I will be working one on one or in small groups with students doing enrichment activities.  These include numbers, letters, math, science, social skills, and anything “academic” that goes along with our theme for the week.  My goal during this time is to prepare the students for Kindergarten.

Art ~ While I am working on enrichment activities I will have an art station set up where the children will be able to so a “fun” project for the day.  This is practice using their fine motor skills such as cutting, coloring, gluing, etc.  We will start the art project after enrichment time.

*Both Art and Enrichment need to be completed by every child. 

During this time we will talk about the weather, calendar, assign daily jobs and read a story.  A large group activity is also done at this time.  Jobs include, flag holder (at the beginning of class we say the pledge), weather, calendar, days of the week, room check and snack helper.

Washing hands and using restroom before snack time.

At snack break, each child hands out the snack that they brought for the class to share.  I rotate who's snack day it is so every child get a chance to hand out his/her snack.  After snack the students go to the library and read/look at picture books independently while everyone finishes snack.

During this period the children listen to music, sing songs, finger plays and use their large motor skills.

Every week I will be sending home a share bag where one child will be able to bring something special to school and share with everyone.  Those whose week it isn’t will get to share something special that happened to them since the last time we met.  We all know that little kids love to share!!

Review/Discuss

We talk about what we learned that day/week and then the children get ready to go home.  When we get ready to go home, the kids will put anything they have in their mailbox into their backpacks and get their coats on to leave for the day.  Parents need to come into the building to pick up their child and help get them ready.  We all know what a struggle it is getting a child to leave especially during the winter when we have to get coats, hats, mittens, boots, etc. on.  I will do my best to have all the children ready to go when you come to pick them up but extra hands are always needed!
