Day in the Life (Student)

8:15am

My bus drops me off at school. I greet Dean Kristi as I walk in to breakfast. Today we're having a local apple and French Toast sticks--my favorite!

Every child receives a warm welcome upon arrival and access to a free breakfast and lunch

8:45am

After morning work, we move to the rug for Morning Meeting. We greet each other, share, play a game, and read a message from our teacher.

Every classroom has a Morning Meeting as a part of the social curriculum at Wissahickon. We consider it a soft landing to the day.

10:30am

Reader's Workshop is one of my favorite times of the day. I choose books that are just right for me and practice reading on my own or with a partner.

12:20pm

I am the Table Captain at lunch today. I will help set the table and serve my friends. At the end of lunch, I lead the clean up.

Students take responsibility for the school through classroom and school jobs such as Table Captains.

1:30pm

Today is my day to go to Art. I finished the landscape I've been working on for weeks! My oil pastel is inspired by Monet.

Students have one special each day. Specials include Library, Art, PE, Discovery (nature), Guidance, and Technology.

3:15pm

It was a good day. Mom is picking me up and I'm going to see if I can stump her with the new math fact I learned! Can't wait to come back tomorrow!
