Schedule
The term "schedule" is used very loosely here...it is not all inclusive but is a starting point for what you could do throughout the day. Times listed are for a period during which to work on something- not that students should be working nonstop during that entire time. First grade students should only be doing school work for a maximum of 45-90 minutes total per day, in 5-10 minute spans.
