Also, the computer, writing center and listening centers are generally open during this time. This is a multi-aged, small group time that focuses on Spanish, Drama, Movement, Science and Visual Arts. It enables us to utilize the special talents and interests of the teachers to the benefit of all of the Early Childhood students. All students in the Center are divided into four groups, each group containing children from each class. Monday through Thursday, a group goes to a different special each day for thirty minutes.
All specials are activity-based.
Another very special music time is our Monday music assembly with Mrs. Nelson and Mr. Ahlin. Full day students may bring lunch from home or purchase a school lunch from our catering service. Menus with order forms are sent home listing what will be served each day during the month. All full day students rest for one hour in the afternoon. Many children do sleep while others lie quietly and look at a book.
