Daily schedule and Routines review

Assignment: Daily Schedule and Routines Review

The purpose of this assignment is to create and analyze a daily schedule with activity times and routines. If you are already working in a classroom with children, then you will use the schedule of your current workplace as a starting point. If you are not currently working with children, then you will have to arrange a site visit for an observation and you will use the schedule of that program.

Make sure that you have done all of the readings for Module 11.
Wait until after class on March 16 to begin the assignment.
If you have to do a site visit, make sure you do it before you do the rest of the assignment.
Create a daily schedule for an early childhood program that runs from approximately 8:00 to 5:00.

If you are working in a classroom, you should use or modify your own daily schedule. (For the assignment, you will need to create a schedule for a full day program, even if your actual program or work day is not full day.)
If you are visiting a site, you should use or modify the schedule of that program; ask to see a copy of the daily schedule. (For the assignment, you will need to create a schedule for a full day program, even if the site you visit isn’t a full day.)
In your schedule, you need to be sure that these six elements are included: (Note: It is okay if “small group activities” are incorporated into “free choice times”; just be sure you clearly state that.

Free-choice time
Outdoor time
Large Group Activities
Small Group Activities
Routines (including snacks, lunch, and nap time)
Transitions

Make some kind of picture schedule for this. You can use photos, drawings, things you find online, or whatever. There are many examples in the videos within the readings.
In detail, describe one typical activity time (free choice, outdoor, large group, small group) Does this activity time work well for ALL children? If yes, why do you think it works so well? If not, what might you change in order to make it better either for the whole group or for individual children.
In detail describe the steps and procedures of at least one routine (snack time, meal time, nap time, arrival, dismissal). How did children learn these steps or procedures (or how might they have)? Does this routine work smoothly for ALL children? If yes, why do you think it works so well? If not, what might you change in order to make it better, either for the whole group or for individual children?
In detail, describe one transition. Does this transition work smoothly for ALL children? If yes, why? If not, what might you change in order to make it better, either for the whole group or for individual children.
Upload a copy of the schedule, a photograph of your picture schedule and your paper onto Canvas. Make sure you have included all three things!
