The natural world of plants and animals and meaningful activities like cooking, taking attendance, or serving snack provide the basis for learning activities. Adults read to children every day in various contexts, such as lap book reading to individuals, guided reading to small groups, as well as occasional large-group story time. Physical Children have access to various activities throughout the day. Look for assorted building blocks and other construction materials, props for pretend play, picture books, paints and other art materials, and table toys such as matching games, pegboards, and puzzles. Children should not all be doing the same thing at the same time.
Children have an opportunity to play outside every day.
Outdoor play is never sacrificed for more instructional time.
