I have a half day K program and the most important thing for
me is not to try to do everything at once. The children
spend the first 15 minutes of each day with table toys while
I deal with milk money, notes, attendence, etc...

Then cirlce goes for about 30 minutes. This includes my news
and name activities. Unless we have music or gym, circle is
followed by some work at their seat for 15 minutes. (a
worksheet or writing of some kind to appease the grade 1
teachers)

We then come back to the rug for either a predictable chart
or a shared reading. (I alternate them each week...not
enough time for both)

Centers is next; this is a 20-30 minute block. I do my
centers a lttle differently. I have 5 centers with various
activities, and the children go to one center each day so at
the end of the week they have done them all. At the start of
the year I have 2 academic centers and 3 play. Now, I am up
to 3 academic and 2 play.

We usually end centers have snakc, read a story and go home.

Hope this helps.
