22nd November 2014 – Circle Time is the Right Time
 There are many ways that little kindergartners can be engaged into an activity that is so gripping and enriching. Circle time is one of them. 22nd November 2014 was the day which started off with an elaborate session on the CIRCLE TIME as an engaging activity for the young learners. The session was headed and conducted by our Academic Head, Ms. Sumana Dutta and teachers from kindergarten to class II were party to it. Since, there is no beginning or end, every individual in a circle is equal and belongs to the whole group. Expanding on this idea, the most successful circle times include acceptance, openness and non-judgmental expression of ideas.
The first stage that is the MEETING UP was initiated by Ms. Sumana Dutta by an informal activity wherein every teacher expressed their views and feelings about their co-teacher and spoke about the qualities they witnessed them. This activity saw a positive impact on all towards the close of this activity.
This was followed by the next stage that is the OPENING UP wherein the teachers were reminded of their favourite student with whom they thought they had connect in one form or the other. Be it the quietest of the students, the hyper active one or the one struggling through their learning stage, teachers have their soft notch for them.
Next to follow was the most awaited and sought after PRAISE stage which actually forms the basis of a balanced development of any individual. Taking this to the kindergartener level will definitely boost his/her confidence and willingness to participate in future endeavours without being hesitant.
As there is a full stop to every sentence, this session too saw its CLOSE with passing a tight hand shake with warm feelings in everyone’s heart for one another. So, as elaborated by our Academic Head, the various stages of the circle time were well executed and knowledge thus gained will definitely go a long way with all the teachers in imparting knowledge to the little ones.
