Music and Movement Preschool Daily Schedule

In preschool, calendar activities are an essential part of the daily routine, helping children understand that time is sequential and enabling them to conceptualize past and future events. At 'Preschool Name', we recognize the importance of incorporating a variety of learning formats, aligned with the Texas Prekindergarten Guidelines (TPG) domains and outcomes, into our calendar time activities.

Our music and movement preschool daily schedule is designed to provide opportunities for relationship-building, communicative experiences with peers, and relevant, meaningful activities that engage all five senses. We believe in intentionally designing interdisciplinary learning center opportunities, offering a balance between teacher-directed and child-driven (choice) learning experiences that include rest and movement time.

To meet the individual needs of our children, we incorporate both individual and group activities into our daily schedule, allowing for independent exploration and play as well as socialization. Our high-quality instructional materials (HQIM) integrate various concepts and activities across different parts of the day, providing an integrated approach to learning.

Our developmentally appropriate practices ensure that children have sufficient opportunities to practice new skills in a variety of ways and within different settings throughout the classroom. This approach allows us to establish an effective prekindergarten daily schedule that is intentional, engaging, and extends the learning process.

Some examples of our music and movement activities include:

* Circle time: We begin each day with a circle time activity, where we sing songs, recite nursery rhymes, and engage in movement games that promote socialization and language development.

* Music exploration: Our children have the opportunity to explore different types of instruments, such as drums, maracas, and xylophones, developing their fine motor skills and sense of rhythm.

* Movement activities: We incorporate movement activities into our daily schedule, such as obstacle courses, dance parties, and outdoor games like tag and soccer.

By incorporating music and movement into our daily schedule, we provide a fun and engaging way for our children to learn and develop important skills that will benefit them throughout their educational journey.
