Answer preview

In this program, there are transitions every time the children the children are asked to cease one activity and start engaging in another. For instance, in Appendix A, when the children are asked to come in from their play so that they can have snacks, this is one example of a transition that happens in the morning. The children then go through the washroom routine before getting ready to go outside and this is yet another routine. In Appendix B, when the children are asked to stop concentrating on their own individual activities and start showing their abilities to each other, this is an example of a transition.
