AABC’s Daily Schedules
Studio schedules follow a general organizational structure but can vary day-to-day, week-to-week, and session-to-session. Variations might be based on the quest, planned field trips, hero visits, special activities that we wish to do, or even the weather forecast. Each week, a more granular and precise schedule is posted for the learners to follow in the studio itself. Below you can see the general structure for both the Sparks studio and Discovery/Journey studios (i.e., the big components of most days), as well as an example of what a more granular, Studio-posted schedule might look like.
