This schedule is very flexible and is adjusted according to the child’s needs and interests. For example, if a child is engaged in art or other activity when snack is served, they may finish their activity before being served with the snack. Another scenario is if the classroom is engaged during scheduled “circle time” the circle time will just be pushed back to a later time so that the students may fully engage in the current activity until it is completed because the number one goal is learning.
