Teaching Sequence of the Learning Experience

 Set-up and arrangement of materials and equipment
Have the children spread out around the carpet. I will demonstrate the yoga move and have the children follow.

Transition Planning: Describe how the children will transition into the learning experience. Transition in to the
activity (preschool) OR Incorporation of individual child routines (infant/toddler).
The children will be doing this activity either after going outside before lunch or after lunch. They will be on the
carpet already so I will ask them to spread out on both carpets and explain what we are doing

Procedure: What is the teacher’s role (what will you do) during this learning experience? What will the children do
during the learning experience? (Remember children are active, hands-on learners!). List all the steps in your activity
using numbers or bullet points, including an introduction and conclusion.
 Children gather on the carpet
 Spread the children around
 Explain what we are doing
 Demonstrate the move and do it again with the children
 Keep on doing moves atleast (5)

Questions to support inquiry and discussion. Vocabulary words to introduce.

Explain this is a way we can relax our bodies/ stretch
Ask what their favorite move we did was

How will the learning experience area be cleaned up? (How will the children help in this process? Where will the
leftover materials be put? Where will the children’s art work be placed?)

I will leave the cards out for the children to look at throughout the day

The children will be getting called to go to the bathroom/wash their hands while we are doing this activity
