Student arrival and routines (putting away lunch, water bottle, jackets,  etc.)

Morning meetings will be a time when students have the opportunity to build relationships, greet each other, share, and sometimes play a short game to warm up for the day.

This is also where I will give them a quick look at what our day holds. 

We will also be incorporating some social and emotional learning during this time. This is incredibly important for every person in our classroom! We'll learn how to identify feelings, handle stress, calm our bodies and minds down, etc. 

Fundations is our phonics curriculum where students will be working on letters, letter sounds, spelling patterns, etc. 

This hour is also designated for small, focused reading groups and interventions! 

Outside recess and snack break!

Continued work in our reading block. 

One day a week your child will have library from 10:00 - 10:45
Tuesday: Ms. Crim
Wednesday: Ms. Boehmler/Ms. Bensler
Thursday: Ms. Charles

This will be a live teaching writing demonstration. We will model the writing process, which includes thinking, speaking, picture planning, and writing about our stories.

This is a time when your child will work on their independent writing skills. It may also be a time when they work 1:1 or in a small group for target instruction and practice. 

Recess followed by lunch. 

Quiet time is a 10 minute block where students may choose a quiet and relaxing activity to engage in. This break is important for them to rest and re-set their brains!

Students will rotate specials daily - your child might be in PE, music, or art during this time.

Here is our school-wide specials calendar

Be sure to check out your child's work on the Art Website as well

A read aloud where students get to enjoy the book while also having a chance to talk with partners about key story elements.

This block is broken into a math warm up, a brief lesson, and then workbook work. 

This will be a time for students to do independent math practice through math games. Math games will be specifically targeting the skills that we are practicing this unit. 

Free choice is a time when your child will be exploring, learning, and developing social and emotional skills through play! We have a variety of centers and activities that will be rotated throughout the year, including builing blocks, kitchen play, puzzles, painting, etc. 

This is another important time for your child to build relationships with their class!

During this time, we often share thank you's to peers, do some reflection about the day, say positive affirmations, and give any other important information. 

Students are dismissed for the day! Students will be dismissed through their classroom door at the end of the day.

Kindergarteners are not allowed to leave their classroom teacher at the end of the school day unless someone is there to pick them up. Please be sure your child knows who will be picking them up each day.
