[quote=Anonymous]This is my DS's schedule in the 3 yr old class at a play-based half-day preschool: Outside time (1 hr): pretty child directed. Learning gross motor skills (scooters, climbing, balancing, etc.) and super-important social skills Circle time: stories and music. Teacher directed. No explicit instruction, but learning lots through stories and songs Snack time "Table time": kids are assigned to tables to do a variety of fine motor stuff. To them it's play, but they are learning a lot too. Activities like puzzles, drawing, Mr. Pototo Head, gears, looking at things through magnifying glasses. Free play (45 min.): blocks, legos, dramatic play, etc. Learning social skills, counting, understanding narratives. No "phonics time," but I think that would be totally inappropriate for 2 and 3 year olds. Learning social skills is so much more important.[/quote]
