A day in the life

Ever wonder what we do all day?

Here's what happens after you say goodbye at the gate.

Good morning!

 Getting all those clothes off sometimes takes a while. Children get their things stowed away, put lunches in cubbies, mailbags on the table, and shoes on their feet.

Once ready, they read for a few minutes until everyone is set to go. Letterland is always the favourite!

After a quick morning meeting on the carpet to take attendance, it's play time. Many things are happening at once all around the room. There are pockets of activity in every corner. Today, here's what's going on all at once:

Krista works with a small group on counting skills at the playdough.

"Can you make a cookie with more than 6 chocolate chips?"

 Katy is working with her small group to write valentines cards and letters for our new vice-principal.

Cameron and Kaden are creating robots in the art studio.

Many boys are building and spinning "bey blades".

Patrick builds a car ramp on the carpet.

Gavin and Liam share the computer.

Ethan and Jaxin are listening to the Letterland CD.

These girls are writing valentines and cards at the writing centre.

After clean up, it's time to get dressed for recess.

Lunch time!

While others are tidying up lunches, everyone else enjoys some reading time together.

Or alone.

Some days, we have a story and go back to play time. Today, we head upstairs to library with Mrs Blaker.

What a nice line!

After library, we go visit Ms. Kuipers in the gym.

I think Lily is a fan of scooters!

 After gym we have a few minutes for another story back in the class.

Recess and lunch again!

After lunch, we have work time. Some students stay in the class with Miss Carter and work on letter or number skills. Others go with Miss Russell to the ROSS and have a writing workshop.

We have another play time in the class, then after clean up we have a few minutes of quiet time. Sometimes we sing together, or learn a new poem. Today we're watching a Scholastic storybook video.

We pack up and it's home time. Hope you enjoyed your visit, come back any time!
