After cleaning up, the children discuss the weather and the date. Feeding the pet, praying, setting the table, ringing the bell, checking the weather, and doing the calendar are all jobs the children take turns doing. The children move from transition to snack. The snack may follow the theme with various creative combinations. After the children clean up their area, they go outside if the weather permits.
Small group follows large motor play.
This is a time when the children explore various objects or situations with only a few children and a student teacher. In this picture, the children are in the process of writing their own books. We end the day by reading a story and discussing our busy day. We send the children home with a goodbye song and help them gather their things.
