Morning Arrival & Nature Grounding

• Children arrive barefoot and free, welcomed in Sign Language.
• Breathwork, sensory walks, barefoot grounding, quiet play.
• Emotional check-in through the “Emotion Garden” (choosing a flower to represent their feeling).
• Multiple languages naturally present through greetings and sensory invitations.

Seasonal Circle Gathering

• Led primarily in English (or teacher’s language).
• Weather reflections, seasonal songs, storytelling, movement.
• Emotional anchoring to the rhythm of the natural world.
• Sign Language used alongside voice to support all communication modes.

Outdoor Exploration & Inquiry

• Open-ended exploration across gardens, trails, sensory stations, natural construction zones.
• Spanish-speaking, French-speaking, and English-speaking teachers present — offering prompts, questions, or simple modeling.
• Real-world science inquiry happens naturally (observing insects, making mud, noticing water flow, asking questions, building structures).

Three subjects might happen at once:

• Science (investigating a worm)
• Art (building a mud sculpture)
• Language (storytelling about the ant’s journey)

All led by different teachers in their own languages.

Nourishment & Mindful Eating

• Shared healthy snacks.
• Mindful reflection invited (“What did you taste?” “How do you feel?”) through Sign Language and gentle conversation.
• No forced silence—calm connection is encouraged.

Music, Movement, and Arts Activation

• Multilingual immersion continues naturally.
• Singing, drumming, rhythm games, cultural songs, expressive dance.
• Language depends on the leading teacher (Spanish, French, or English).
• Sensory-motor engagement through joyful full-body participation.

Physical Play & Brain Activation

• Climbing, obstacle courses, cooperative challenges.
• Growth mindset language infused (“Try again!” “Feel your balance!”) in the teacher’s primary language.
• Gross motor development tied to brain growth, executive function, and embodied self-trust.

Storytelling & Emotional Literacy

• Story sessions in French, supported with dramatic gesture, sign, and movement.
• Multisensory storytelling fosters deep language acquisition and emotional resonance.
• Students are free to listen, act out, or create spin-off stories.

Rest & Integration

• Mats and calming stations available.
• Some children nap, others draw, build puzzles, journal, or reflect quietly.
• Self-regulation tools like weighted objects, breathwork, and guided visualizations offered.

Life Skills & Community Contribution

• Daily tasks like gardening, folding, feeding animals, preparing snack.
• Functional Spanish language immersion during tasks.
• Building autonomy, contribution, and connection to the larger “ecosystem” of the school.

Wonder Workshop: Science & Discovery

• Dedicated time (some days) for science provocations, experiments, or nature investigations.
• Led in English or Spanish depending on the teacher.
• Open-ended questions: “What do you notice?” “What happens when…?”

Again, multiple subjects could arise:

• Engineering (building a mini dam)
• Biology (observing plant growth)
• Chemistry (mixing substances to see reactions)

Identity Play & Portfolio Time

• Children reflect and express through art, dramatic play, mirror work, journaling.
• Teachers guide Identity Portfolio documentation in students’ dominant or choice languages.
• Emotional vocabulary and self-narrative building are foundational.

Closing Circle

• Always ends with Sign Language as the connecting thread.
• Gratitude song, movement stretch, emotional check-in:
  • “Today I felt…”
  • “Tomorrow I hope to…”
• Students choose their goodbye gesture (hug, wave, special sign).
