After free play the kids gather around the teacher for circle time. The boys and girls enjoy this time because it prepares them for another action-packed day of experiential learning in science and nature. Circle time allows the children to refresh their memories about what they learned in a prior day and to discuss with the instructor and each other what they would still love to learn more about. Through conversation and sharing, kids better understand and process their experiences and begin to perceive the school day as a goal-oriented learning experience. Circle time gives direction and purpose to the learning experience for both the students and our professional staff of teachers.
