Circle Time

We will continue practicing The Christian Pledge and The Pledge to America while honoring the flags. We talk about respect for the flags and the pledges.

We will continue making instruments. Our most recent were rhythm sticks and the kids are really enjoying them.

We are doing great learning our days of the week and months of the year songs and we will continue these all year. We are reinforcing what year it is and what day it is each morning as well.

We now end every day by holding hands and singing “Go now in Peace” at the end our time together. It’s a special moment for us every day : )
