Back to Episodes123 - Exploring Different Approaches to Group Time (From The Vault) Part 1
Description
In this episode, the Childcare Directors Chair discusses circle time and setting up classrooms for a QRS visit. They propose different approaches to group time, such as splitting the group in half based on interest or activity level. They emphasize the importance of considering the learning goals and individual needs of the children. The Childcare Directors Chair suggests interactive and engaging activities during circle time, like taking down numbers or mixing up numbers for number recognition. They also highlight that learning can happen in various areas of the classroom, not just during circle time.
