A Day in the Life of a Toddler Student (2 year old)

Upon entering the classroom she announces, "Hi everybody!" Then she goes to greet the teacher. She smiles, walks to her closet, takes off her coat and hangs it inside her closet.

She decided to use the toilet by herself. She heads to the washroom and says, "Look Mrs. Armenta! I'm dry!" She uses the toilet and washes her hands all by herself. Then she walks over to the shelf to choose her own work.

She then cleans her workspace by washing the brush, finding a sponge and wiping the tray, putting the sponge away, and lastly putting the gluing box away. While cleaning, she happily sings "Buenos Dias."

She brings the work to a table, saying "Look Armenta, it is closed." She opened all of the buttons and said, "Look! It is open." After 5 minutes of working with the button frame she declares "I need to use the bathroom." She stood, used the bathroom, washed her hands and came back to the table to work with button frame again. Just as she was sitting down, another child came over and touched the button frame. She said "NO!!! Don't touch my work."

During the lesson Suzie makes the sounds of the animals, especially the pig sound of "oink-oink." After the lesson, as Suzie is walking around the classroom, Miss Garzelloni says "Oh, I noticed that we don't have cups on the table!" Suzie walks over, puts on the table setting apron and puts the cups on the table, followed by the forks. She finishes, saying, "I'm done!" She takes off her apron and hangs it back up.

away by putting all of the clay in the container, takes her apron off and sets it inside the bucket, finds a sponge and wipes the tray. She put the sponge away and begins to walk away, needing the assistance from an adult to remember to put her work back on the shelf.

Suzie enjoys circle time with the other children in the class. She sings classroom songs and practices the songs for Grandparent's Day. After singing, she is invited to wash her hands since it is almost time for snack.

(baked daily in class by one of the children!), grapes and sweet red pepper slices. Once she has finished what she had on her plate, she says "Mrs. Armenta, more grapes please." She was invited to pass the washcloths after snack but says, "No thank you." After snack she sings "Shoo Fly" while clearing her place at the table. She uses the toilet, again all by herself.

She also bounces and chases the balls around. She is practices catching and bouncing the ball.

Then Suzie walks together with her class to the carpool room. There she sits with her friends until her mom arrives to pick her up
