FREE PLAY IN CENTERS: Watch a short INTRODUCTION TO PLAY STATIONS #3 video. Release them one at a time to play (with their Play Ticket).
SPECIAL CRAFT: Pinch pots PDF
1 MINUTE BELL: Ring the bell or set a timer to indicate the end of PLAYTIME. Tell the students they have 1 more minute to play.
CLEAN-UP: Students tidy up the centers where they were playing when the bell rang. Teachers oversee this activity. Students learn to sort and return items to their proper place. In so doing, they are learning to take care of the classroom. It also helps them be prepared for dismissal. Once the centers are tidy, students move to the BOOK NOOK and quietly look at books. Students are responsible for returning their PLAY TICKET to the tray.
DISMISSAL:
- Assign an adult/helper to greet parents/guardians.
- Call the students one at a time when families arrive. Prompt other students to call out “GOODBYE (student’s name)”
- Students check the mailboxes for take-home papers: Today’s worksheets / CREATION booklet PDF
