Upstream and Downstream…Changing the Flow of Our Day

Many people have been emailing us asking for the Flow of Our Day. We wanted to wait until we were sure of some changes that we have been making.

As a school team, we had been finding our Outdoor Play time challenging. There were a lot of children sharing the outdoor space at the same time and we were hoping to find a way to bring our classes out separately. Due to needs in our room, we have to keep our schedule as consistent as possible so the only solution we could implement was flipping our day. It would be a one-time big change but we would have consistency in our schedule. We would go outside everyday first thing in the morning and first thing after rest time. Serendipity!! It turns out the change worked out so, so well for our class.

Being outside and active first thing in the morning and then again right after rest time, means that the children come in happy and relaxed and ready to learn. The children have a chance to burn off extra energy and the endorphins created by exercise and fresh air put everyone in a calm and alert mindset.
