Daily Schedule – The Preschool Spot

OUR PRESCHOOL DAY

Time Activity We are learning…
9:00 Arrival & Morning routine Students do the morning routine as they arrive. The routine is to put belongings away, say by to family, answer the question of the day, and start on table activity.
9:00 Table Time Students sit at the table and do the activity on the table. Student share learning various fine motor, literacy, math, science or art concepts/skills. The activities are often connected to our theme.
9:25 Calendar Music and Movement We review the Calendar, practice months of the year and days of the week. Music time is filled with songs, rhymes, and use of rhythm instruments. Through music we not only use gross motor skills we also build and learn language skills, math concepts, and social skills.
9:45 Circle Time 1 We start with the message of the day to build literacy skills. Then we read a story, play games or do a group activity that will focus on literacy concepts, including sight words for our Pre-K class.
10:10 Centers Students pick a center they want to work in. Students change centers as they wish. Our centers are art, blocks, library, pretend, and discovery (meaning various activities centered on literacy, math or science concepts). New themed activities are added to each center every week. Skills and concepts learned during centers are, fine motor, language and social skills.
10:15 Small Group At some point during center time, students will work with the teacher in a smaller group to learn various literacy, or math concepts. Groups change based on students’ ability, interest, or random selection.
