A Day in the Life[1]

• Morning: Kindergarten teachers will start the day early by preparing the days lesson and instruct children to put their things away upon entering the classroom.
• Mid-Morning: By mid-morning, the teacher may have students learning while sitting on a rug, or she might take a more hands-on approach to some lessons and have them work in groups at tables.
• Lunch: A teacher assistant might take the children out for lunch and recess. This gives the teacher time to look at homework, clean the classroom, and prepare for the afternoon lessons.
• Afternoon: The teacher may have additional time to plan lessons while the students take a nap after recess. After nap time, instruction resumes. Children can work in small groups or individually and still get the attention they need.
• After Work: Kindergarten teachers, especially in the first few years, will likely have
• Work to do after the students leave. This can include planning lessons, calling parents etc.
