From arrival to dismissal

A teacher greets each student at the door. The class sits together, reads the plan for the day and says what each person would like from it.

Students read with a teacher in groups of a few. Others read alone, write in a notebook or listen to a story.

Short lessons, then work at a table with a teacher close by. Anyone can ask for more time.

A long lunch and a break outdoors in most weather. The quiet room is open for anyone who wants it.

Writing, science and art projects that run over several weeks, with time to show the work to the class.

A story read aloud, then a teacher walks each student to the right car or bus.
