Hi,
I was asked to teach Nursery class next school year (2,5-4 year olds). They will be with me full time from 9 am till 3:30 pm. except for Sports and Swimming lessons .
That is almost 18 one hour lessons out of 20 per week, 72 hours per month.
I have about 3 weeks to prepare and I desperately need some good examples of meaningful activities and samples of nursery class routines.
I understand that at this age students learn through play, games, songs, movement, listening to stories, their attention span is short, etc.
However I need to learn how to establish ROUTINES that provide a creative and safe environment with some basic rules to prevent chaos from the beginning of the year. Nursery class can be fun or a complete nightmare, as far as I understand, so I would like to learn how to make it manageable.
I tried to search the internet to answer my questions but only found some bits and pieces, not enough to build a full picture, please help!
