Relax and Refuel/Acadmeic Lab

Many families have been asking me about how the children use their time during relax and refuel now that  the children have chosen not to rest.  During this time the teachers from all 3 classrooms have enrichment groups comprised of kindergarten children needing additional support or challenge material.  These groups (that meet with the teachers from each class) change regularly and focus on a variety of needs spanning all subject areas.  We try to reach the most pressing issues for our students first and then work to make sure challenge is provided to any students needed supplemental instruction.
While we are meeting with small groups of children the others students in the room have the opportunity to choose from a variety of academic centered choice activities.  Here are just a few of the activities the children are choosing to extend their learning during our quiet ac. lab block.
 Independent Reading
 Sensory Based Letter ID Practice
 Writing Our First and Last Names
 Letter/Sounds Independent Games & Activities
 Word Work
 Math Enrichment Games
 Writing Choice
Computer Based Learning (Dreambox & Starfall)
Sensory Based Number Writing
