A teacher shares how to run circle time with a schedule board that lists daily activities. Kids move an arrow down the board and add pieces to a finish bucket as you go through each activity, which keeps the group focused and engaged.
I like to schedule my circle time and work with teacher, um, definitely with little mini schedules. It's been something new for circle time that I've added in this year and that I've absolutely loved. So each day I write out what my kiddos are going to do in circle time, and then I use this schedule board to correlate with what we're doing. So tomorrow I'm out, so they're not— they don't have as many activities um, with the computer, but I keep extra pictures in here so if they have a book that day, I can just add it to the spot. And then the kids really, really enjoy coming up and moving the "my turn" arrow down and putting the piece into the finish bucket, and that keeps us on track for circle time. And they last a really, really long time using the schedule.
