A school day
Spanish and English, hour by hour
Every day has both languages, in the same order, so children know what comes next.
- 8:00 a.m.
Step 1: Arrival
A guide greets each child at the door in Spanish and in English. Children hang up their coats and choose a first center.
- 8:30 a.m.
Step 2: Morning circle, in Spanish
Songs, the day and the weather, and a name for each helper. Children answer in whichever language comes.
- 9:00 a.m.
Step 3: Centers, in both
Blocks, art, books and the home corner. One guide speaks Spanish and one speaks English, and each takes a few centers.
- 10:15 a.m.
Step 4: Snack at the table
Children set the table and pass the plates. Talk at the table is in whichever language the children bring.
- 10:45 a.m.
Step 5: The yard
Time outside for running, digging and watering the garden beds, with a guide for each language.
- 11:45 a.m.
Step 6: Story hour, in English
A picture book read aloud, then a rhyme or a song, in English.
- 12:30 p.m.
Step 7: Lunch and rest
Half-day children go home. The others eat lunch from home, and the youngest rest afterward.
- 2:00 p.m.
Step 8: Afternoon
Art, the garden and a second circle in English. School-day children go home at 3:00 p.m.; full-day children stay for free play and the yard until 5:30 p.m.
Why the order matters
A child who knows what comes next can give a morning full attention. The guides keep the rhythm steady, and they change it only when the weather or a child's needs ask for it.
Who speaks what
Spanish and English with children and with families
We say plainly who speaks what, so you know who to ask.
In the Sol room
Two guides share the day: songs and routines in Spanish, snack and play in English.
In the Luna room
Metzli leads the Spanish circle and the counting games, and a second guide reads the English story.
In the Estrella room
Jazel leads the English centers and the afternoon story, and a second guide reads aloud in Spanish.
With families
Every guide speaks both languages with families. Ask your question in whichever one you like.
