Subject: circle time

I totally agree. I have a prek class of 20 3,4, & 5 yr olds. Our kindergartens are VERY ridgid and structured. THey have a 90 minute uninturrupted reading block. Well I do teach my preks to sit for extended periods of time. we do activities and have fun but they can sit in a 30 minute long or longer circle time with out getting fidgity. Yes most will say it isn't developmentally appropriate but I would rather them be able to have a successful kindergarten experience than a negative one.
