Hello all! I hope the Summer is treating you well, or you are on your way to Summer break! I wanted to take a moment and share my classroom schedule with you.

I would love to hear how your classroom schedule is similar or different! I find it very intriguing what other schools are up to! Now, here is what I am currently working on:
Every year on the first day of school we take all of the kiddos on to the playground and give a fabulous demonstration of how to and not play on the equipment. I know I am guilty of assuming these little guys have done this before, but for so many kids this is their first experience and/or they have never been given proper instruction on how to play the safest way on playground equipment. In my packet “Tommy” will be teaching the kids all about the playground and how to play safely!
Tomorrow is off to the lake for some fun in the sun! Have a super weekend!
