A Typical Day in Kindergarten at SM/MCA
A typical day in Kindergarten starts with morning work and moves into calendar time/morning meeting. We try to guess what is in the mystery box that a special friend gets to bring and do some quick phonemic awareness activities. After snack and free play time, we spend the rest of our morning on language arts. After recess, we go to our special class of the day (Spanish, music, gym, art, library, or computers.) After lunch we read aloud 2 chapters from our chapter book then begin math lessons. After math, we work on science or social studies, have another snack and some free play time. We end our day with religion.
