children, and individual) and learning content (Practical Life, Language
Development, Reading and Writing, Mathematics, Geography, Biology,
General Life Sciences, History, Music, Visual Arts, Performance Arts,
Sports). Time segments are allocated to Snack, Lunch, Quiet Time,

Students are guided by the teacher and assistant(s)
to engage in activities in the various content areas individually and/or
