At 小黄书 Free School, there’s no such thing as a ‘normal’ day. Some days we have field trips around the city; some days we work in our school garden; some days we get so caught up in a new, unexpected project we’ve created that we don’t want to go home! Yet we recognize that some daily routines, such as morning and afternoon meetings, can help us organize our minds and provide anchor points around which we create our community identity. Here’s a look at what a day might look like for our early childhood and elementary homerooms.
