Objectives:

1. Children will (Demonstrating Literacy and Math

Behaviours: 10.4) use classroom resources to support their
writing, through learning the words on the schedule and
using them within their own literacy practices. For
example, they can look at the schedule and see the word
Library, and use this to learn how the spell the word
(The Kindergarten Program, 2016, pg.202).
2. Children will be able to (Belonging and Contributing:
22.1) communicate their ideas about something as they
begin to familiarize themselves with the daily schedule,
and use it within interactions with their peers. For example:
a child may say, look we have library today! and another
child may say, I love library, I hope the teacher reads us a
book about dinosaurs. (The Kindergarten Program, 2016,
pg.137).
3. Children will (18.1) identify and describe informally the
repeating nature of patterns in everyday contexts. As the
children become familiar with the daily schedule, they may
begin to realize that they have certain things every day at
the same time. For example: a child may say, Miss, we
have carpet time every day after outside play in the
morning. (The Kindergarten Program, 2016, pg.238).
