What does the day look like for Class 1

Morning Circle

This daily circle of connection supports a sense of belonging, empathy, and emotional awareness, nurturing a supportive and harmonious atmosphere for the day ahead. 

Each day, this morning circle supports a sense of belonging, empathy, and emotional awareness, nurturing a supportive and harmonious atmosphere for the day ahead. Within this circle, special moments unfold during our class's meditation, yoga, songs, and teacher-led story sessions. These activities not only build memory and promote calmness but also expose children to the beauty of language, fostering crucial literacy skills. The incorporation of yoga and meditation aims to instill mindfulness and emotional regulation, creating a positive and focused learning environment.

Creative Play Time

Unfolds in an atmosphere that seamlessly blends purposeful engagement in the room or outdoor space. Play is a significant endeavor for children, and during this time, they immerse themselves in imaginative activities using a diverse array of natural toys and materials, including creative play with the natural environment, such as flowers. Learning within this dynamic space, children develop their imagination, fostering social interaction with peers and honing problem-solving skills. Exploring the natural world enhances their sensory experiences, contributing to a more profound understanding of the environment. As they engage in creative play with flowers and other natural elements, children also learn the satisfaction of carrying tasks to completion, cultivating a sense of accomplishment and creativity that extends beyond the immediate playtime.

Artistic Activity

Wet-on-wet water coloring is more than just art; it's a shared experience where each child dives into their own colorful world. Learning through this activity extends far beyond the strokes of a brush. It encourages a natural sense of beauty and color appreciation, laying the foundation for future artistic exploration in later grades. The focus here is not solely on the outcome but on the individual journey, allowing each child to express themselves uniquely.

Snack Time

This is a nourishing pause, fostering social connections and energy renewal for students.

Outdoor Play

Children are free to run, use their imaginations, and experience the outdoor world. Outdoor play happens throughout the day, this experience is not merely a break; it's a vital component of the entire day.
