When you’re getting ready to start your online preschool, be sure to use this online preschool class schedule during your live Preschool Pals class on Zoom. Your Preschool Pals class is a 30-min. live class where you’ll meet with 4-12 online preschoolers at a time.
All of the activities below reference how to teach online preschool using our Fundamentals Preschool Curriculum.

GREETING

SCHOOL TIME

Discuss the calendar (i.e. “Today is TUESDAY, MARCH 14. Let’s count to 14! 1…2…3…etc.”) Practice Days of the Week and Months of the Year songs, and clap when you get to the current day or month. Ask the children to raise their hand and share what the weather is in their city.
Magic Bag
Put the flash card for the week’s magic letter, number, color, and shape in your magic bag and ask them to say it out loud when they see it.
