Typical day & meal at École M
Morning
8:30 - 9:00: Progressive welcome
Progressive, personalized welcome (for the first arrivals, free play, drawing, reading...)
9:00 - 9:15 am: regrouping
Gathering of all pupils for the start of the day (songs, rituals, body awareness...)
9.15am - 11.45am: classroom activities
A teacher offers workshops in small groups (5-6 students), working on the basic skills related to the "theme" of the moment.
The other teacher accompanies the children in independent activities or in pairs. The children choose their activity among those proposed.
All children participate in a motricity time.
Mid-morning
Recreation in the square near the school.
The morning ends with a regrouping during which the students can tell what they did.
meridian break
11:45 - 12:30 : Lunch (more information)
Lunch in small group classes, with both teachers. Students participate by setting the table. They wash their hands and settle in mixed age groups. This encourages the little ones to be more independent, and the older ones to help the younger ones if necessary.
The meal is a moment of relaxation and exchange. Students are encouraged to taste everything, but are not forced to eat. They clear and help clean the room.
12h30 - 13h45 : Nap / Quiet time
A la carte nap time for children who need it, with no age limit, and quiet activities for those who don't sleep.
afternoon
13h45 - 15h40: Classroom activities, accompanied by the teachers. Students who wake up from their nap join the group slowly, for independent or pair activities.
Same organization as in the morning. The afternoon being a hollow moment in the children's attention, we propose activities of consolidation rather than discovery.
15h40h - 16h00: Staggered departure of children who do not stay for extra-curricular time. The teachers pass on to the parents what happened during the day.
16h - 18h: After-school activities and daycare
Taste between 4:00 and 4:40. The snack is balanced. The children participate in its preparation, service and storage.
Extracurricular activities offered from 4.40 pm to 5.20 pm (also on Wednesdays from 1.45 pm to 4 pm): games in workshops, artistic, cultural and sports activities...
Free time from 5:20 pm to 6 pm
