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!
Laura
Haha - I am glad you liked the idea! I think the one thing to think about is having lots of colors or only one color. The children will argue about the color of mat they get to sit on:)
ReplyDeleteLaura..... I just wanted to pop through and thank you for your support of my INDIE-winning picture book & thank you for joining the effort to tell others of this project.

ReplyDeleteDid you hear there's a 12 word phrase you can speak to your partner... that will trigger deep feelings of love and impulsive appeal for you buried inside his heart?
ReplyDeleteThat's because deep inside these 12 words is a "secret signal" that fuels a man's instinct to love, idolize and guard you with all his heart...
====> 12 Words Will Fuel A Man's Desire Instinct
This instinct is so hardwired into a man's brain that it will make him try harder than before to love and admire you.
Matter-of-fact, triggering this dominant instinct is so mandatory to getting the best ever relationship with your man that the instance you send your man a "Secret Signal"...
...You'll instantly find him open his mind and heart to you in such a way he haven't experienced before and he will recognize you as the one and only woman in the world who has ever truly appealed to him.
