When the children arrive into the classroom, they greet their friends, help with the set up of the class and then begin their work in the any of the four main areas of the classroom: Practical Life, Sensorial, Language and Mathematics.  When not receiving an individual lesson from the classroom guide, the children are expected to work independently or with a friend with a piece of material that they have previously received a lesson for.

The children get ready to go outside, and then enjoy a period of time to play freely with their friends or the outdoor equipment, before lunch.

The children set the tables with real tableware and then serve themselves the catered lunch and enjoy their meal together in small groups.
