This week I started tackling the reading circle. Overall it was an eye opening experience. There is a lot of classroom management that is involved with circle time. Kindergarteners do not want to sit down and pay attention for thirty minutes. As the teacher you must make it fun and exciting or you will lose the attention of the students. Time management was also key to a successful circle. Which can be rough when you have to do morning message, reading book, and phonemic awareness. Hopefully over the course of the semester I will learn how to better the time management.
