Each morning, we begin our day with a loving-kindness meditation and basic yoga postures to get ourselves ready for a day of learning. We follow that with morning meeting, including the pledge to the flag, calendar time, a spelling review game, and a meeting about our day ahead. The students then write responses to various prompts in their morning journals and share with their classmates. Each week, we have a different theme, so after our morning meeting and journal sharing, we do math and literacy centers and hands-on activities related to the theme. When it's time for Google Meets, we sit together and listen to their school-based teacher teach. Following Google Meets, we work on the assigned work and then have specials. Our specialist teachers are amazing! After specials, we have lunch and recess, followed by reading groups and shared reading time. Finally, we end with themed centers based on social studies and science objectives. We end the day with our loving-kindness meditation and then head to the cul de sac for carpool. It's an incredible day.
