When all of the children enter the room, they are automatically greeted with the song, "The Ants Are Marching". This will get them excited for another day at school. After the song, any announcements that need to be made will be said and children will then be dismissed to free play at the center of their choosing.
This free play time at any center will give the children time to socialize and talk about any exciting news they have with their friends so that they will be quieter through the lessons that are planned the rest of the day. During this time the teacher is free to check in on any kids if need be.
The children will know that free time is done once the teacher rings the bell. After the children quiet down the teacher will then begin to sing "The Soap on Your Hands". The children will know that when this song is sung that it is time for then to wash their hands. Once they are done washing their hands, the teacher will instruct the kids to get to their assigned seat.
Breakfast will be served once all of the children are seated. Wednesday the breakfast will be whole grain oatmeal that has raspberry halves, strawberry quarters, and blueberries in it. Children will wash this delightful meal down with a nice glass of ice cold 2% milk. Once each child is finished eating, they will put their plates and silverware on a tray for the teacher to take care of.
At 8:13, the children will be directed to the group rug for "Stretch Time". "Stretch Time" is a chant that the
* At the end of marching time, draw children's attention to the numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4 displayed in the classroom.
Meals and snacks are part of the overall learning experience. Breakfast, lunch, and an afternoon snack are served daily. Meal times are as follows: a.m. snack between 8:30 and 9:00; lunch between 11:30 and 12:00; p.m. snack about 3:00 PM-3:30 PM. Menus are posted weekly. Meals are served family style in the classrooms. Children’s nutritional needs are met with foods provided by the Center. We ask that families not send food with their children, except under special circumstances when they have made arrangements with the director and the teacher(s).

Put on some music and invite children to a dance party (1 – 6 years old) - Music activities and experiences help children practice important skills, including thinking, language, motor coordination and understanding emotions. Music and singing can help children follow the routine. Clean-up songs alert children that it's time to put away their toys and move to another activity. Educators can use songs to signal a transition from one activity to another, or to keep children interested and occupied while they are waiting for the next activity. Playing quiet music is a clear signal for nap time. Loud, energetic music can get children up and moving or help them use up energy before they settle down to a quieter task. For this kind of experience
The author did multiple interviews with children ranging from 4 to 12 years old which were randomly picked either by volunteering, music teacher pick, or classroom teacher pick. The author was interested in a random sample which would hopefully be representative of children as a population. There were sixy-two interviews with children and fifteen of the conversations were included in the book.
Young children learn and grow everyday. Especially, young children, the ages three years to five years old, learn important skills while they play with friends and interact with their teachers. Janice J. Beaty (2014) states that for young children, “play is their way of learning” (p. 167) Thus, teachers need to observe children while they play and assess the development of the child because “Knowing the development of a young child helps a teacher to plan the curriculum, to set up activities for individuals, or to ask for special help when necessary” (Beaty, 2014, p. 3).
Having recess in schools gives students a chance to communicate with their peers. Time at recess with their peers
Hey!, Do you wonder what recess is for? Well, let me tell you, why we should have recess. Recess is a time were you can talk and yell and be free! It is also a break for the teachers to get out and bond with other teachers. Recess is an important part of a student’s day because it help kids learn better. It helps their health problems and there socialization skills.
Beginning as early as the 700s, a written record was kept to preserve the stories told by previous generations so that they may not be lost. As the tradition continued, many authors, mostly male, added to the growing plethora of literature and a central ideal began to develop. From an unknown author’s Beowulf, to Shakespeare’s Macbeth and Sonnet number 29, authors took turns chiseling at that ideal with their diction until one general shape began to develop. As a whole, men are obsessed with their image, something that these authors were not immune to.
Having a three day weekend and more time to learn is a huge win win, and with the extended school day that could happen. The extended school day is a controversial issue that has been argued over for awhile. Whether or not we should increase the length of the school day itself and give students a three day weekend or just keep the school days normal. Schools should definitely increase the length of the school day and give students more down time and freedom by giving them a three day weekend, more quality time with teachers in school and dramatically help the struggling students.
Sometimes it is important for children to have time with their peers. By playing with others, children discover their strengths and weaknesses, develop a sense of belonging, and learn how to get along with others. Consider finding a good children’s program through neighbors, local community centers, schools, or your local park and recreation department.
Science is a measurement of true knowledge to the world and for some is a bragging front to show the amount of intelligence and power some countries have. Through certain aspects of science, countries can demonstrate any amount of dominance they have by demonstrating new technologies and theories. Fusion and Fission is one of the great explorations that man has discovered due to the benefits it brings to human life. The promise of fusion is enormous due to how big of an energy system it gives and it comes together by fuel that is obtained by seawater and is also mixed with lithium from the earth’s crust. Most people get Fission and Fusion confused and they figure that it is the same thing.
When everyone is present at the table, the teacher begins the meal by serving him/herself. S/he serves him/herself a child size portion of each food presented, demonstrating and modeling the appropriate portion size (USDA requirements). S/he starts by passing the serving bowls around the table so that the children can begin serving themselves. Children are allowed approximately thirty (30) minutes after the meal begins to complete their meals. Children are encouraged to eat at a leisurely pace. Children with disabilities are provided assistance as required or needed to consume meals appropriate for their developmental level. Teachers, teacher associates, volunteers, and adults set examples by modeling the correct way to handle food and utensils. They serve as role models, “sampling” new foods when they are introduced. Teachers’ and staffs’ likes and dislikes are not part of the Head Start meals. (See Meal Time Participation
When researching and touring facilities, make sure you know what kind of learning you'd like for your child. Some activities for kids are geared towards fun playtime. Other activities are meant to foster their intellect. If your child will be entering kindergarten, it's important to think about the requirements for entering that grade level. The child will need at least the basics before entering kindergarten, so be sure that the nursery school provides some of that learning.
