A TYPICAL DAY AT JR. K

Each day we have recitation, calendar, bible, and phonics first thing in the morning. Students then have P.E. for 30 minutes. We have show and tell, letter-of-the-week crafts, and math before lunch. We eat lunch together. In the afternoons, we have a theme for the month and an author or artist study for which we read books, draw in our narration journals, make crafts, write stories, and create artwork. Students also have recess and rest time every day.
