Circle time
Every morning we have circle time. First we have snack and the children talk about their morning. After that we start our circle time by counting the children who are present and the children who are not. This is always something that the children like to do because it is a bit of a challenge to remember the people who are not present.
Afterwards, we talk about the day of the week, the date, the month, the season, and the year. We always make reference to the past and future days, dates, years as well. Next we might revisit the subject of the previous day, week, or month, sometimes even the previous year. We do this in attempt to keep the things the children have learned fresh in their minds.
Next, we introduce the activity and/or subject of the day. This is where we find out where the children's knowledge for the day's activity is. This way we can begin with the activities from the level of the children's understanding. Once this is finished, we break up into smaller groups and begin with our activities.
