What happens in a PreK 3 classroom?
Here’s our basic schedule
8-8:15: Arrival: As the students arrive at school they hang up their things and then find their name to sign in.
8:15-8:30: Breakfast and playtime (educational songs are playing on the Smartboard)
8:30-8:45: Circle time: We “read” our daily messages, look at what’s happening with the weather outside, and go over our schedule. We also do daily prayer, the pledge, and sing a song or two.
