Learning Sessions
Learning sessions are based on language, literacy, math, science and social studies topics. One Learning session per day will be in the primary immersion language, and one learning session will be in English, prioritizing kindergarten readiness and literacy.
Specials
Specials include art and crafts, music, physical education, and other fun topics for children to explore. One special per day will be in the primary immersion language (i.e. French), and one special per day will be in a secondary immersion language (Spanish or Portuguese).
Morning and Afternoon Meetings
These small circle meetings are a great way to start and conclude our day, talking about our feelings, the weather, our favorite things, reading a short story, singing a song, or many more options. The teacher guides the conversation to help students understand and interact in the target language.
Mealtime
Students will be offered Breakfast, Lunch, and an afternoon snack each day. Meal time norms will be in the immersion language, allowing children to experience and talk about mealtime and foods in the immersion language.
Guided Play and
Free-choice Play
Active play and free-choice play is an important part of a child's development. Children will have various moments throughout the day to play, with a balance of teacher-guided games and activities and opportunities for free-choice play.
Storytime and
Nap time
After playtime and lunch, children will settle into quiet time with a story (in any language) and nap time. Children will be encouraged to rest, but can also engage in quiet play if they no longer nap.
