When we do Calendar I have a child pretend to be the teacher.

We say our Pledge of Allegiance and then a kindness pledge. Then we review the classroom jobs Flag helper, Calendar, weather etc. I start out with the review with rules I have the teacher helper do it! (repeat song 2 times) (for those who take to long to come!) We get all the children to make a circle while singing the song make a circle (say twice) big and round(say twice) everyone holds hands (say twice)and sits down. This is what we do every day! I hope this helps. so I have to figure out what else to do! lol I don't know but I have tried to extend my circle time but it never reaches over 15 minutes. something active like Clap Your Hands by Lorinda Bryan Cauley. Oh, and I usually read a story at the end of Circle Time. They seem to enjoy it! Though I would LOVE to incorporate more music. For example, who has short sleeves and who has long sleeves? Who is a boy and who is a girl? How old are you? They graph their pictures and we talk about which has more and be sure to answer questions like 'WHO?' and 'Where?'

Students must use a full sentence and tell me 'I am at school.' We count how many friends at school and how many friends at home? Then we sometimes do weather frog (once or twice a week) and a simple 'board game' which is just them sorting, graphing, and comparing their own pictures. We count many ways (on our shoulders, quietly, on our knees, clapping, etc.) and then we do 'Who is at school today?' And students come up to match either their picture or their printed name (whichever I choose) with pictures of school and home. We then sing 2 days of the week songs, answer the questions How many days are in a week? How many days do we come to school? How many days do we stay home? We name and sign the current day and month and then name the date and count up to that date. We do a good morning song where we shake each friend's hand, look them in the eye, and say good morning by name.
