Research has shown that young students do best when they work shorter amounts of time on specific activities. Realistically, we can expect an independent activity to hold engagement for 6-10 minutes when looking at 4-5 year old students. This increases with direct teacher support to around 15 minutes. This is an integral part of the daily lesson planning. 

This is an example of what a typical day would look like in our classroom.
