The Flow of the Day plays an important part in the success of students in the Kindergarten Program. In this episode I talk about what the flow of the day is, how to create one, and how it benefits the Tiny Humans in your class. 

Here are some websites that I have found very helpful when learning about and creating the Flow of the Day: 

TransformEd

The Curious Kindergarten
Considerations for Program Planning
EduGAINS

Here are some questions that I have found helpful to think about when creating your Flow of the Day: 

  • How can we reduce the number of transitions in the day? 
  • What can we do to enable children to revisit, over time, inquiries or projects in which they are deeply engaged, in order to extend the learning?
  • How can we make the best use of two educators to maximize the time allowed in our schedule for children to be engaged in learning?
  • What opportunities does a child have, in the course of the day, to retire to a space for quiet and rest? Does the flow of our day allow for children to rest when they feel tired?
  • What challenges that have an impact on the flow of the day could we discuss with the principal?
  • How long are the arrival and departure windows?
