“In nature, a child finds freedom, fantasy, and privacy: a place distant from the adult world, a separate peace.”

Arrival and getting settled in class. This time will be used to allow the kids to have free play at our variety of play stations and sensory activity for the day. We give the kids plenty of time to arrive and get settled in their new environment. 

We will have a morning meeting where we will go over the information about the day, discuss roles and or which farm chores will be assigned for the day and any news. The class then will pick one snack to eat before heading out. Lastly, we will then get the class prepared in the necessary clothing and/or gear for going outside. 

The class will then head out to complete any assigned farm chores (feeding pigs, checking for chicken eggs, making sure the ducks have water, etc.). After farm chores are complete the class will have time to play outside

We will head back in the class to eat lunch. 

This end of the day time will be either used for more outdoor exploration or it may be used for crafts or indoor play depending on the weather.

We will be using the last 15 minutes of our day to ensure our toys have been put away and that everyone helps clean up the classroom before heading home. 

This schedule may vary depending on the season and how many layers the kids will be wearing. Additionally, as the children become more efficient at getting themselves ready the transitions between these activities will decrease allowing for more adventure time!
