​​One of the best ways to judge the effectiveness of your planning is if the children begin to fidget.​
Fidgeting is a clear sign that it is time to change directions. Change the activity, add movement, music, or let the children disband and try again tomorrow. ​
Planning your circle time carefully in order to build a classroom community takes careful thought and consideration.
Circle time activities that build community will often include all children and will have the opportunity for a team-based activity or approach to learning. It may take time before all students are completely comfortable participating or sharing during circle time, and that is okay. Eventually students should feel supported and comfortable enough to participate and engage in the activity.
