Jump Start runs full-days from Monday-Thursday. Students arrive between 8 and 8:20. We enjoy breakfast as a class and then sit down for our morning meeting. During our morning meeting we review the calendar and schedule as well as working on math, literacy, and social skills. Every morning students have a full hour of centers or free choice play time based on the Creative Curriculum. Center choices include; dramatic play, puzzles and games, discovery, art, library, writing, listening, and blocks. During this time the teachers work and play with students. Students have 60 minutes of gross motor time each day which includes PE, dancing, movement games, and outdoor activities. Jump Start students participate in music, PE, guidance, and library on a regular basis. Students have rest time and snack in the afternoon. Developmentally appropriate math, literacy, science and social studies are also taught daily. Instruction is differentiated to meet the needs of all students as we learn together, play together, and have fun in preschool!
