Daily Shedule

Centers and Greeting Circle

Children begin the day in various centers as everyone arrives. At about 9:45, the daily welcome begins. Circle time will include a welcome song, recognizing achievements both within and outside of Lupine Lane as well as all about today.

Literacy

We closely follow the TEA Pre-kindergarten Guidelines to ensure children have mastered the knowledge and skills necessary for entering kindergarten. Books and instilling a love of reading are an integral part of Lupine Lane.

Movement and Music

Movement and music are woven in throughout each day. We will concentrate on rhythms, harmonies and an array instruments and encourages movement and bodily awareness.

Mathematics

Children learn basic mathematical concepts from counting to patterns as well as practical, hands on activities. We follow the TEA Pre-kindergarten Guidelines closely to ensure that each child has mastered the fundamentals necessary for Kindergarten.

Cooking

During this time each day, children enjoy combining ingredients, measuring, stirring and more as they cook their own nutritionally balanced lunch, complete with a protein, a carbohydrate, healthy fat, and a vegetable!

Lunch and Recess

Children eat their delicious creation for lunch and then have time to head outside, weather permitting. During days where temperature or precipitation does not allow for outside time, we will have indoor free play.

Language/Culture Studies

This portion of the day is used to develop knowledge of the Spanish language and culture. In addition, we discuss various other cultures throughout the year.

Science

This portion of the day is dedicated to a science activity/experiment that encourages procedural, scientific thinking and is always a lot of fun!

Art

Art is a large part of our curriculum and is therefore incorporated into most days. The kids will work on thematic, progressive projects that are showcased and celebrated.

Parting Circle and Centers

Each day will end as it began, with circle time and centers. We review the day and everyone contributes something that they learned or felt during the day. We sing our goodbye song and the children are dismissed!
