School Bells Ring - Schedule and Rules - Day 2

Morning Circle (AM 9:00-9:30..PM 12:30-1:00)

1. Song Can

2. We will talk about the schedule we will follow each day, centers and what we will do at each one.

3. We will set up class rules together, as the teacher writes the rules on chart paper and reads it back to the kids as we go. We may end up making one easy-to-remember rule: "You can do anything that doesn't hurt yourself, someone else, or Miss Chelsea's property." It pretty much covers EVERYTHING!

4. We'll take a tour of the room, providing names for materials and areas.

5. Story
