The daily schedule for Peanut's preschool class is posted outside of her classroom door, and I took a picture of it on my phone and thought I'd write it out here so that I could remember going forward. I can't believe how quickly she's growing:
7:50-8:00 AM: Drop off and select learning centers
8:00-8:05 AM: Clean up time
8:05-8:30 AM: Morning Circle Time (go over message board and Jesus time, discuss daily announcements, cover daily Bible lesson, have verbal sharing time)
8:30-8:45 AM: Planning Time (The class is split into small groups where each child in their group discusses what they plan to do during work time. They can share their ideas by pointing, speaking, getting materials, and showing an action/drawing
8:45-9:30 AM: Work Time (Kids act on their ideas discussed during planning time)
9:30-9:35 AM: Clean Up Time
9:35-9:45 AM: Recall (Kids go back into small groups and discuss/share their work with the others)
9:45-9:50 AM: Bathroom Break/Hand Washing
9:50-10:15 AM: Snack (I have been sending in a full lunch and letting her pick what snack she wants to eat from her lunch. Then after school is done she finishes up her lunch box at our house)
10:15-10:45 AM: Large Motor/Outside Play
10:45-10:55 AM: Bathroom Break
10:55-11:15 AM: Circle Time/Large Group Time (Includes activities like practicing the alphabet, discussing the week's letter and animal, movement through music and literacy activities)
11:15-11:30 AM: Small Group Time (Kids break into small groups and use manipulative materials to help them develop their fine motor skills, math skills, literacy skills and social skills
11:30 AM: Pick Up Time
Notes from weeks one and two:
Each week the kids pick jobs around the classroom. Peanut's job for week one was being the caboose in line, which she thought was fantastic. This week she chose being the washer - she washes the table after snack.
The class prays together during school. Peanut told me they were prayers we didn't say at home usually, so I was asking her how the prayers go. She said the prayers said "God" and "Jesus". Although I'm pretty sure there were other words in the prayers, I guess at least she picked up on the main points :) Ha.
Peanut mentioned how they are putting tiny beads in a jar at school and how when the jar is full they get a pajama and a movie day. She was pretty excited about it. I asked when they put beads in the jar - if it was when they were all being good, etc. She said no. She said we do it everyday.....but not the first day and not the second day. LOL. Since this is only the third day of school, I guess every day means today only. Then I asked if the class was good today - she told me that she was but two of the boys (James and Jameson) were "struggling" because they were playing in the kitchen and Mrs. Melissa said it was time to stop and they didn't stop. Struggling is a word I use at home and I guess she has picked up on it - ha ha.
Peanut's closest friend in school seems to be Kennedy so far. There is also a Celia, Abby, and Ash in addition to the names I already mentioned.
