We finished our week 3 training, and again, had some great results.
The teachers each told us how their activities went during the previous week, and with success, we moved onto our next training topic.
This week, we focused on how to plan for a consistent and appropriate daily routine.
We know that children need to feel safe and secure in their setting, so what better way to do that than to have a planned out, detailed, and most importantly consistent, daily routine.
We talked about the parts of the day that should be included in any high quality classroom and discussed how they can be implemented easily into any routine.
The parts of the day we discussed:
Large group time
Small group time
Outside time
Work time (Or play time/free choice time)
Transitions
During each of these times, children are able to develop and learn in various ways through engaging and open-ended activities. Children are gaining independence, a sense of community, and responsibility when they are able to be part of a consistent and routine daily schedule at school.
This weekend we are gathering materials for each classroom, so we hope to have lots of materials ready to bring the teachers next week so they can take their planning and activities to the next level :)
