Daily Schedule:

• Circle Time: Time to connect with each other through singing, improv games, and movement. With occasional activities such as show and tell, breathing, meditation, and team building.

• Main Lesson Block – Literature and Creative Writing:

• This portion of the day we will work on on our larger capstone projects for the semester. Semester one covers the life and times of William Shakespeare. We will read several adapted versions of his plays, as well as the full version of Midsummer Night’s Dream. The kids will then create a script and act out their own version of Midsummer Night’s Dream.

• Semester #2: Covers folk tales and legends from around the world with art and crafts that compliment each lesson and an opportunity to write our own short stories.

• Lunch and Outdoor Recess: We know it’s important for kids to have free time together outdoors, and we aim to provide approximately an hour of outside free play each day.

• Main Lesson Block – History:

• This block covers our history lesson and activity. It includes reading aloud and activities based on what we are learning. Each week, we review what we’ve learned in previous weeks. We incorporate games, acting, arts, crafts or other kinesthetic methods of learning to make it come alive for our students.

• Closing Circle and Clean Up Our last portion of the day ends with Clean Up and then a final Circle Time.
