The school day
A real school day led by Luna: eight blocks in order, about three hours, with brain breaks.
What it is
Every school day runs like a class with a real teacher. Luna has the plan ready before your kid wakes up, and the blocks open one at a time, in order: Morning Meeting, Mind Lab, Warm-up review, Math, a brain break, Reading & Writing, Second Language, another brain break, Discovery, and Closing Circle. A block only counts when the work in it is done. Free choice (the library, Robot, typing, Mind Gym games) opens when the day's school is done: they earn their time back. Start today over (on your kid's page) runs the whole day again with fresh lessons; what they already did today stays in the record.
Why it helps your kid
Structure is what makes learning stick: review first, teach, practice together, practice alone, check. A clear plan also means no negotiating and no skipping to the fun parts.
Where to find it
On the kid's iPad: Today shows the day as a timeline (done ✅, now, locked 🔒) with one Next button. On your phone: Today shows each kid's progress, and Tonight shows what they learned.
How to do it
- Morning Meeting (10 min): the day's plan, today's three wins, and a dilemma of the day to debate with a reason, then the other side.
- Mind Lab (20 min): Power Up, a Mind Movie, the Imagination Gym, Think Big and I Am (see Mind Lab).
- Warm-up review (8 min): quick review cards from earlier lessons.
- Math (30 min): one new idea taught and practiced together, then a practice set on their own (12 problems at 7 and under, 20 older) and a 5-question exit check. Below 4 of 5, Luna re-teaches it tomorrow.
- Reading & Writing (35 min): your kid reads to Luna, answers a question, and writes: 2 sentences at 7, a paragraph at 9.
- Second Language (10 min), then Discovery (40 min): a science, social studies, art, music or coding lesson, then today's step of the weekly Quest, a project they imagine, make, test and show you on Friday.
- Closing Circle (10 min): what I learned, what was hard, what I'll change; teach you one thing; the Big Aim once more.
What your kid sees
A timeline of the day, one Next button, a two-minute brain break after Math and Reading, and free choice when the day is done.
