![]() The schedule makes sure all the important tasks are covered during your child’s day. If you want to set up a circle time routine with your kids, you can grab many of the resources shown here in our shop. A daily schedule template breaks down the day by hours so you can visually see how the day will progress. It’s a fun, simple way to fit in a lot of learning without very much work! The 6 circle time printables I’ve included in each monthly Learning Binder include: 1. That way, the printbles stay organized and can be used all month long. I don’t do all of these things every day, and I don’t change the resources more than once every week or two. I print out these printables for each student, place them in plastic sheets, and then put them inside a 3-ring binder or folder with brads. This is a good time to get excited about the day! Maybe we have appointments we need to get to, or there is a fun project in our plans. Morning meeting time is when I go over what we need to do for the day. We talk about the style of art, who painted it, and what we like about it. I like to hang up a famous piece of artwork to look at. Sometimes, we use a seasonal poem, other times we practice memorizing patriotic songs or other important things. Morning meeting time is the perfect time to review memory work. I rotate which words I feature in the pocket chart where we do our morning meeting. I set the clock each morning to an arbitrary time, and the boys “race” to see who can read it correctly first. He changes the marker on our weather board, and then we add today’s weather to our graph. Each morning, it’s his job to look out the window and determine the weather. The editable bundle text can be customized the schedule to fit your child’s specific needs. This bundle provides a variety of visual schedules for different times of day, such as morning routines, after-school routines, and bedtime routines. My 5 year old is still in the “I want to wear shorts everyday” phase. A Visual Schedule Printable Bundle can be an especially helpful tool for parents and caregivers. ![]() I make my own calendar cards to fit all of these things in, and many sets I give away free, so head over to Teachers Pay Teachers to grab a set! ![]() We count how many days until the next holiday. We talk about yesterday, today, and tomorrow. Calendar time also covers many basic math skills. One of the most important things we do is look at the date. Anything from nursery rhymes, songs in Spanish, the day of the week song, songs from musicals, and christmas carols are fair game. Many times, we sing as we clean up from breakfast. For our family, circle time is simply a way for us to come together, learn as a family, and start the day with good attitudes. (read our Oak Meadow review to hear more about how we do circle time specifically with our OM curriculum)Ĭircle time doesn’t have to be like the kid they do in public schools (although we do pull from what I like about the morning meeting routine). As soon as breakfast is finished, we gather for homeschool circle time. Each morning, my kiddos and I start our homeschool day the same way.
