Description
Why is starting your day with an academic circle right for your grades 5, 6 and 7 students? The answer…The 4 C’s: Community, Communication, Collaboration and Curriculum. Curriculum such as reading comprehension, number sense and financial literacy, writing, media, oral language, science and social studies discussion about global issues, etc. are all covered WHILE building a sense of community and connection with your students.
A strongly connected classroom is what we all want. However, as the year goes on, it is hard to keep up with social circles, as the heavy amount of curriculum takes over.
