Here are my favorite tips for a creating a successful day! So, you can see a larger version of the schedule below. This kept everyone engaged in an activity that didn’t mean missing something while they were in the bathroom (as would happen if we did the same with circle or story time).

Second, rather than having students all go to the bathroom and have to wait their turn with downtime (Downtime is not your friend!) while waiting, we engaged them with table tasks and had staff pull 2 students at a time to go to the bathroom. Keeping the students engaged during this time prevents a myriad of problem behavior that can develop from free, unstructured time while waiting. It also gives us a good activity in the morning when we can’t predict when busses and cars will arrive. This allows us to have an activity that keeps the kids engaged while having less adult supervision. We use this activity as a way to keep students engaged in meaningful activity while we have adults busy with things like getting other kids off the bus or taking students to the bathroom. They can serve as a training ground for activities that can eventually go into structured work systems. They are activities that are designed to keep students engaged more independently (i.e., with less supervision). Table tasks is the name we give activities that involve manipulatives (e.g., puzzles, file folders). Two elements that I think are important to note about this preschool classroom schedule.

A Closer Look at the Preschool Classroom Schedule So we call this quiet time and those who don’t nap can engage in quiet activities while others nap. They had a mandated nap time (because they are in preschool) but many of the kids didn’t really nap. In the afternoon they rotated through art and games.

The students who attended full day were the ones who needed more explicit instruction in basic skills like following directions, imitation, and matching, while those in the afternoon needed more language acquisition and socialization practice. The funny thing is that she didn’t know she was doing trials–she thought she was just teaching. This teacher was a master at discrete trials and differentiating them among the students in a group.

In this preschool classroom schedule, direct instruction (DI) consisted of primarily discrete trials. For centers in the morning, the students rotated through direct instruction, independent work (structured work systems) and play time. We just broke it up to keep their attention. The students could only handle 15-minute activities at at the most, so we had a 15-minute circle which worked perfectly for this group.Īs you can see, there are 2 circles so we could cover everything we would typically cover in a 30-minute circle. There was a teacher and 2 aides in the class with 8 students in the morning and 6 in the afternoon. On this preschool classroom schedule, the grayed out areas represent the times those students were not in the classroom. This was a preschool program that had some children that attended 1/2 days and some students attended all day.
