Children benefit from a variety of regular group experiences in our daily sessions. These routines build confidence among the children for the predictability of the everyday sessions makes them more comfortable and at ease because they know what to expect with their time in school.
To settle kids down and prepare them for the session; to generate a feel of how the kids are feeling for the day so that teacher can make revisions with her prepared activities if these are not in consonance with the kids' moods; also for attendance checking, learning new nursery rhymes, whole group games and/or discussions
This is the time to get up, get active and get moving; new songs and dance steps will be introduced regularly to get children on their feet and to get their sillies out :D
This is the time to learn about the weather, days of the week, months of the year; also a great time to introduce informal number skills
Storytelling of age-appropriate literature that captures the children's interest, also a venue to introduce the day's concept in a more creative way; a great way also to draw out themes, lessons as the story is discussed in the group; sometimes the kids also tell their own made up stories
The day’s topic or lesson will be introduced and or futher enhanced through an activity, a song, a rhyme, a hands-on experience or through an art creation; kids are encouraged and trained to take turns, sit still, listen quietly and interact with their classmates.
We also have group times in our daily routines.
During these times, teachers introduce children to new materials and activities.New skills and concepts are often the focus of a group activity. Group times also offer social opportunities to children. Teachers put thought and effort into planning group times. They use their daily observations to see what children are interested in and how they can further their explorations in these areas. Group times are also the parts of the day when learning that needs to be systematic and sequenced — such as specific skills and concepts in literacy or mathematics — can be guaranteed for all children.
