The Plan - Circle Time

Here is how I plan to run Circle Time:

Pledge of Allegiance
National Anthem

Sit Down Song:
Tapping at the window, tapping at the door.
Everybody sits down when we count to 4.
1 – 2 – 3 – 4 !

Songs:
[To the tune of "Mary Had a Little Lamb"]
We welcome you to school today,
School today, School today,
We welcome you to school today,
To learn and grow and play.
We're glad to have you here today,
Here today, here today.
We're glad to have you here today.
Yes, it's a special day!

[To the tune of "Skip To My Lou"]
Hello everybody, how do you do? (Wave at children)
Hello everybody, how do you do?
Hello everybody, how do you do?
How do you do this morning?

I'm fine (point to self), I hope you are, too (point to kids)
I'm fine, I hope you are, too
I'm fine, I hope you are, too
I hope you're fine, this morning!

Turn to your partner, shake their hand
Turn to your partner, shake their hand
Turn to your partner, shake their hand
Shake their hand this morning!

[To the tune of "Good Night Ladies"]
Hello, (child's name); Hello, (child's name);
Hello, (child's name), it's nice to see you today.
[go around the circle and sing for each person]
