Circle time can be chaos, or it can be the best fifteen minutes of the day. I'm handing you the second option. 💛

My Day 2 session at Camp Renegade Play is 20 Rhymes & Fingerplays Every Teacher Needs to Know, the kind that build pre-literacy skills before kids even know they're learning.

This is everything I wish someone had handed me my first year teaching.

Camp is free, July 23 and 24, and my rhymes session drops on Day 2.

Comment CAMP and I'll send you the link. 🎶

Hi friend 🌟

Not every child jumps into circle time the same way, and that's more than okay.

Some children need to watch first. That's how their brain builds safety before it builds participation.

Let them sit at the edge. Let them clap without singing. Let them take in the whole song before they ever join.

Given the chance to observe, most children join on their own timing, and they join excited instead of pushed.

I'm putting songs and moments like this together for my Camp Renegade Play session this month, the ones that make space for every kind of learner in your circle.

Drop the word CAMP below and I'll send you the link to join me. 🏕️
