Circle time

All the children participate in Circle Time.  We spend a good 20 minutes on this.  It is the only thing I make Baby Girl and Buddy participate in. 

We start off by going over classroom rules since Bumble Bee will be going to kindergarten next year, we do try to run the day in a small way like a classroom. 

Our next step is to stand and say the Pledge of Allegiance.  For our family this is very important.  Both husband and I were in the military and loyalty to our country and the men who died protecting it is important.

Then we do the calendar.  We sing the months of the year, and days of the week.  We discuss what today is, tomorrow will be and yesterday was. 

Next we go over the weather.  We sing the weather song and ussually I have Baby Girl and one helper check the weather for the day.

We start our day like this everyday.  It is fun for the kids and they love the routine.
