TITLE:
The 7-Minute Circle Time: A Better Way to Run Circle
DESCRIPTION:
Twelve children are sitting, one is lying down, one is inching toward the block area, and you’re on your fourth reminder to sit crisscross applesauce. Sound familiar? In this episode, Isa takes a fresh look at circle time and asks a better question than “How long can I get them to sit?” You’ll learn the 7-Minute Circle, a simple four-part framework: Connect, Move, One Thing, and Launch. You’ll also hear what research found about who does most of the talking at circle time, why the calendar may not be teaching what we think it is, and how circle should look different for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and Pre-K. Plus: what to do about the child who won’t sit, and how to know when circle is over. Watch the children, not the clock.
