Circle Time includes a calendar, stories, music and movement.
Table Activities encourage sitting in an assigned seat and participating in activities such as coloring, building with blocks, imaginative play with manipulatives and activity mats.All students (AM & PM) will participate in small learning groups, rotating through a pre-math, pre-literacy, art (fine motor practice), and a speech/language group. Each group is 15 minutes. We give the students an audible "ding, ding, ding" and they line up to move to the next group.
We have a Sensory Room for indoor play that includes a merry-go-round bicycle, slide, mini-trampolines, mats for jumping and tumbling, a playroom with tunnel, balls, basketball hoop, as well as trucks and cars for floor play.
