The teaching circle is planned around our weekly topic. We share information that we learned earlier at other centres. We sing songs about the topic and learn more about the topic through our songs. Many action songs are planned as well as role-play songs. Each day we learn a new French word that relates to the topic we are studying. A special “weather person” helps us record the weather. We look at the calendar as well, learning about the months of the year, and the days of the week. Snacks are also a part of circle time each day.
