Kindergarten - First Grade Daily Schedule Sample / Lead Teacher

The key to a successful day is planning, planning, planning and practice, practice, practice!!! Class schedules should be free of "DEAD TIME", and students should be very familiar with all routines and expectations. Teachers must also remember to make lessons fun, engaging, and hands-on. I hope this sample schedule is helpful.
