In the front part of our classroom, the Pandas are engaged in small-group activities which often correspond to the class project. After we have had the opportunity to play in all the areas of the classroom, we return outside before lunch. We often bring classroom materials outdoors to use. We like to use the dress-up clothes outside, especially when combined with a tape player and our favorite music. We also enjoy sitting in the grass and sketching what we see around us.
Lunch is time for good food, good friends, and great conversation.
After lunch, we either return outside or remain indoors to read together.
