AWESOME and AMAZING ? “OFF TRACK” ? Mustang schedule for fall break!!!

Vacation and off track is a great time for students to relax and recharge.

With all the busy schedules of our culture students need time to hang out. Our schedule allows time for this.

• Our day begins with time outside to run, play ball, build castles out of climbing bars and blankets, and pretend. Weather permitting.
• Morning snack follows with a choice of the students. Then we break into smaller groups to share time and center choices.
• We have a project for the day and the students have the choice to participate. The project may be science experiments, painting, woodworking or creative collage. Many choices are available including games, puzzles, and math or language paper challenges.
• Outside again to enjoy freedom of movement. Organized games or learning activities are there for the choosing. Lunch is inside, a picnic outside, or at a field trip destination.
• Eating at a museum is a wonderful experience for us. After lunch, we take time to refresh. Story time may be a student’s choice in our reading loft, listening to a story or a movie.
• After relaxing we are up for more time outside with another planned activity of art or music. Inside center choices are open and students may choose what they want to do. The various ages helps students to be mentors to the younger and learn from the older. Field trips are big fun choice.With students suggestions, we choose what and where. Jumping at a center or bowling. Educational trips to museum are included. Depending on the time of the year we choose 2 trips a week. Whatever the time is vacation, summer break or off track we aim to keep children happy and entertained.
