[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid's day (this was at a Ward 5 Title I in 2016) was:

Circle time-- talk about what's on tap for the day, what day of the week it is, sing a song or two.

Then they did the "play plan" which was a thing at the time-- they would "write" or do a picture of what they intended to do.

Centers time-- they had the Tools of the Mind curriculum at the tunem where they have the classroom set up to play different scenarios such as restaurant.

Specials-- music, art, PE, etc, either they walk or the teacher comes to them.

Literacy-- the aide read aloud to some of them while others had more explicit phonics instruction in a small group with the teacher.

A math activity of some sort such as a game where you count things or play with math manipulatives such as pattern blocks.

Occasionally a field trip (they walked to a fire station) or a visiting performer in the school auditorium.

Lunch, recess, nap (90 mins sleep or look at a book or quietly play on your cot)

Closing circle which is just sort of a goodbye routine with a song.

Personally I was fine with the direct instruction as my DD enjoyed it and made great progress in her early reading skills. I think you'll find not everyone is seeking as purely play-based a curriculum as you seem to be.[/quote]

Thank you, this is helpful! [/quote]
