Greeting

Greeting is a whole group activity where we cover a variety academics, social skills, expectations, routines, rules, etc. Here you will find what we are learning and links to sites we are using to reinforce our skills.

Large Group

At large group, we work on an activity that promotes body awareness, gross motor activities, multi-step directions, following directions, and/or taking turns. 

Plan/Recall

During this time, students perform a task that may work on a variety of skills. The skill is listed below. During plan, students plan their activities during work time. Students must describe the centers they will play in, what materials they will use, how they will use these materials and who they might play with. Recall is after work time. Students will perform the same activity listed below and describe what they actually did during work time. They will state where they played, what materials they used and how they used them, and who they played with. Students will also be asked to recall these events in the order they occurred.

Calendar

Calendar works on our kindergarten readiness skills by learning counting, recognizing numbers, patterns, shapes and additional math skills.

Small Group

Small group is when the class is divided into two smaller groups to work on an in-depth lesson. The lessons are based on the student's interest to learn various skills such as pre-academics, social skills, exploration, problem-solving, fine or gross motor skills, etc. Students are engaged in a new small group each day, but some lessons need the flexibility to extend into multiple days.

Interactive Read

Each week we follow a routine to work on our emergent reading skills while focusing on a story. The books we read meet a variety of genres through the reading curriculum provided by HighScope.
