Arrival and Announcements
The kids unpack their bookbags, make their lunch choices, complete our morning routine, and listen to the day's announcements!
Calendar
Perhaps one of our favorite parts of the day! We start with our months and days, and then go into counting down how many days we've been in school for the month, looking at ten frames and tens and ones, counting to 100, and practicing our letters and sounds.
Small Group English Language Arts
We complete rotations to enrich our reading skills that include centers, journals and games, reading groups, and independent work revolving around Words Their Way.
Recess
We interact with all of the Welch kindergarteners on the playground.
Whole Group English Language Arts
We have a whole group reading lesson, exploring a book and learning a new reading skill or strategy.
Lunch
We eat with our class in the cafeteria. We either buy or pack our lunch. If we buy, we get to choose from a healthy sandwich, salad, PB&J, or hot lunch; different fruits; different vegetables; and a milk or juice.
Math
We complete rotations to enrich our mathematical skills that include small group instruction, independent work, review games, and hands-on manipulative practice.
Special
We attend Art, Music, Library, and Physical Education and we flip flop on Friday, repeating a different special each marking period.

We have a whole group lesson and hands-on Science or Social Studies exploration.
