Community Circle and Class Meetings

As a new school year begins, it's important to set up routines that facilitate a happy, productive classroom. In my experience, Community Circle and Class Meetings have been a key way to smooth over any tensions in our group and encourage positive expression.

My students always grow to love Community Circle so much that they remind me to do it if I forget or run out of time. And after each meeting, we all head back to our desks with smiles on our faces. The process clears the air and reminds us of the good things going on around us.

Give it a try and see how it can work for you.
