Welcome to Ms. Cross' Early Childhood Classroom! Our daily schedule consists of bathroom, circle time, centers, snack, story time, and recess. At circle time we do calendar, sing fun songs, and answer a question of the day that usually goes along with whatever the theme is, and read a story. Table activities consist on working on fine motor skills- writing, coloring, cutting, lacing, playdoh, etc. We also work on our letters, numbers, colors, shapes, and much more. Centers is a free choice play time where the children can pick from, blocks, dramatic play, table toys, science/sensory, and art. During this time we try to do some one on one work with the children working on different skills. Some of these skills include, spelling and writing their name, cutting, counting, letter recognition, and working on goals they may have. Snack is just a small something usually consisting of milk or juice and crackers, cookies, or a fruit. Story time is a story that goes along with the theme and a song or two. Recess is usually outside on the playground unless the weather is bad and then we will do an activity in the classroom or gym. Once a week we visit the school library where we listen to a story or two and get to check out a book to take home for the week. Throughout the week children are also pulled to work with the Speech and Language Pathologist, Social Worker, Occupational therapist, and Physical Therapist depending on what their IEP says they need.
