Each morning, Mrs. Baker's kindergarten puts their things away and then the class gathers on the carpet. Together, they review the class rules. Afterward,they practice the days of the week. They identify the current day with a yellow marker.
During recess, Mrs. Baker engages the students in physical challenges like the obstacle course she set up today using the play structures and playground toys.
Mrs. Baker scaffolds her lessons. Brainstorming "Things in the sky" activates the students' prior knowledge, introduces concepts, and informs Mrs. Baker about who may need more support as they move forward.
