The kids unpack their bookbags, make their lunch choices, interact with their
choice of drawing, writing, books, blocks, puzzles, games, or playdough, and
listen to the day's announcements!
8:30-8:45 Calendar
Perhaps one of our favorite parts of the day! We start with our months and days, and then go into counting down how many days we've been in school for the month, looking at ten frames and bundles and bits, counting to 100, singing our rules, and practicing our letters and sounds.
