Our children The Panda Bear class is a remarkable group of 4 and 5 year olds that have been together in the same classroom for 2 years. Every day is a new adventure filled with the thoughts and ideas which shape our curriculum.
Some families send along breakfast, so there is often a small group munching away at a table.
That early-morning hour is quiet, with children reading, building puzzles, or working on artwork, with soothing music playing in the background. The three or four children that are here play an integral part in preparing our room for a day of important work. The children help one another hang up their jackets and place any personal items in their cubbies. We put chairs around our tables, feed our classroom pets, water plants, put away stray parts and pieces, and set up our morning snack. During this time, the children are encouraged to use any of the classroom materials.
