Establishing routine is the key to setting up any classroom. This is especially true when teaching preschoolers. Our little learners rely on routine to help them feel secure and confident as they transition from home to school.
Our routine begins when the children enter the building.
They unpack their bags and file their notebooks.
They wash their hands and sign their names.
We have already seen amazing growth in their name writing in 4 short days!
The helper feeds the fish, then it is off to table choices while the rest of our friends arrive.
Table choices give us a change to acclimate to the classroom and practice skills we have been working on.
Circle time begins with a morning meeting, planning session for the day, the pledge, a devotion and prayer.
Next up, literacy block!
After whole group instruction we break up into small groups for literacy centers. 
Finally, free choice center time!
After all of this work, we are hungry! Snack time!
Math begins with a book and whole group lesson.
I ends with small group and individual practice.
We end our day on the playground.
We are learning to put on our own helmets! LOL
We end our day with a closing meeting. We review our day, discuss highs and lows and plan for tomorrow, when we do it all over again. I love the rhythm of our days and look forward to the routine myself!
