SUMMARY:
Circle Time, Group Time, Rug Time, Meeting Time, Gathering Time...any time
that children come together for activities that include everyone. It's a special
time to share songs, fingerplays, rhythms, rhymes, movement games, creative
activities, stories, or whatever else that a particular day may bring. Circle Time
provides for a listening time, a time to develop attention span, promote oral
communication, and a time for learning new concepts and skills. It's a time for
auditory memory, sensory experiences, socialization, and a time for FUN! Circle
Time can be a complex, dynamic interaction among adults, children and
resources used.
