Lesson Plan

Circle Time Champions Lesson Plan

Students will learn and practice a consistent circle time routine using visual cues, interactive activities, and positive reinforcement to build confidence and engagement in attending circle time.

Circle time helps develop social-emotional skills, attention, and classroom community. Structured routines and positive reinforcement support preschoolers who feel anxious or uncertain about group activities, ensuring they feel excited and comfortable participating.
