Projects / Discovery Time

Interact and play with the children as they visit centers. Ask questions to develop their thinking and guide their learning. Assist the children with any projects for the day. After all the children have finished the table activities, project materials are removed from the tables and tables are cleaned to prepare for snack.

Clean Up

Parents assist the children in cleaning up the room. Encourage them by offering specific suggestions or making a game out of it.

Second Circle Time
|
Set up snack with their child during this circle time. Each child should have a placemat, plate, cup & napkin. Supplies are found in the white cabinet next to the drying rack or in the dishwasher. If we are out of anything it can be found in the file cabinet in the back storage room. There are parent placemats and each teacher has her own placemat. Set up tables so that one adult is at each table.

|
Snack Time
|
Assist the children in finding their placemat and pushing in their chairs if needed. Assist as needed with passing food & pouring drinks. Try to talk with the children and encourage good table manners. Have each child clear their place setting before they leave the table.

Outside Play
|
Assist the children in getting ready to play outside (coats, boots, etc.) While the teachers take the children outside, parents stay inside and start to clean up after snack. Tables are cleaned, dishes put in dishwasher, tile swept and mopped, and carpet area vacuumed.

Dismissal
|
Begin clean up or help gather the children’s belongings (tote bags, show & tell items, coats, etc.) and get them ready for dismissal. The teacher will dismiss to the parents.
