5 to 10 Minutes | Plan for Work Time (playtime): Build your child’s ability to organize their time by having them make a “plan” with you about what they would like to play with. Children do this everyday with us at school. It helps children learn to organize their thoughts. Adults make plans all the time to organize their thoughts (shopping lists are made before going to the grocery store, to do lists are made to help plan your day etc..). Kids will tell you what they are planning to do/want to play with/how they will use toys at home. |
1 hr. | Work time/Children play WITHOUT ELECTRONICS Kids can use toys to pretend play, build, and create. |
15 min | Clean Up: Children clean up the mess they have made while playing. |
5 to 10 min | Recall: Build your child’s memory of events by having your child tell you what they did while they played (ask “tell me how you did that” or “what did you do next?”) |
| Lunch or Snack or Dinner | Have your child help you prepare a meal. They can help with cooking/setting table- whatever seems appropriate for the meal time. |
Work time is to be done daily.
