Circle Time is a great way to start your day at school, but sometimes not everyone is happy about where they end up sitting! The complaints I've heard.... "I can't see you Ms. Laura because ______ is too big!" or "_____ is touching me!" or "I'm being smushed!" or "I can't hear you Ms. Laura because _____ won't stop talking to me!"
I know we have all tried different ways to get the kids sitting comfortably and paying attention during Circle Time, right? I've tried putting tape strips on the carpet with their names. I've tried using contact paper pictures with their names on it, but they don't stay long and well, it kind of messes up the rug too!
I've "chalked" seating spots; used laminated construction paper and mini note pads with Velcro on the back and I've even purchased mini rugs, BUT this idea that came from someone on her
Teach Preschool Facebook page is Rocking!!
Using Place Mats to Sit On!
Is that a crazy good idea or what?! You know it is! Wow! I can't believe I had never thought of using them! Wow!
What ideas have you tried to control seating at Circle Time? Please share! :)
Thanks! Have a Child's Play Day!
