Description

  • Arrival / free reading time – Children will arrive and go straight to the library area, where they will be encouraged to individually choose books for quiet reading time, until all students have arrived.

  • Circle time – We will be singing our hello song, taking attendance, and taking turns to complete the calendar and weather wheel. Activities for the day will be explained and theme-based books read. This will also be when we do our show-and-tell.

  • Play time / craft / small group teaching time – During this time, groups will rotate through making a craft, theme-based learning with a teacher and aide, and free-play time (supervised by a parent volunteer or teacher's aide).

  • Snack / bathroom break – Before snack, children will be taken to the washroom to wash their hands and use the facilities. The whole group will then have snack together and learn the French vocabulary for the food they are eating.

  • Play time - Students will have time to play freely in one of the available centres. At the end of this time, children will be asked to help clean up all the toys.

  • Music and movement time – Students will be exploring music and movement through teacher-led activities such as singing, dancing, instrument playing and rhythm exploration.

  • Circle time / farewell – We will read a short story, talk about the day and sing our goodbye song.
