Introduction

(5 minutes)
  • Gather students into a circle either seated in chairs or on the floor.
  • Remind students about the circle guidelines they created: the raised hand attention signal and talking piece (every week each student rotates and brings in a talking piece that means something to them).
  • Have the student introduce the talking piece for the week.
  • Welcome each student into the circle using the talking piece (each student welcomes another student in the circle).
  • Share that today during circle time, they will be learning how to work effectively as a team and understand what teamwork means.
