Circle Time in Partapur School.....(Emotionally Safe Classroom Culture)

Good Morning/Noon/Evening,

It was a very pleasant day in our school, though a hectic one for us, but we loved doing what we did today in our school.

Today, we all at a same time as a saturday activity, not tried, but did this cool circle-time activity. 

Our agenda/topic was regarding cleanliness OUT & IN. 
OUT-at here stands for surrounding, classroom, and School premises, and
IN- at here stands for our thoughts/behaviour/manners- our focus was completely on RESPECTING EACH OTHER.

Even a strategy in all classes was introduced of "I Agree" (shaking our hand with thumbs facing ourselves.) all loved it.(see the file).
The details can be fetched from the linked file below, which was given to teachers (class-wise) and was conducted very properly.

We had planned it very carefully and had even put the buffer time where we found needed.

I, on behalf of our preparing team (Udaipur Session attendees), request you to comment sincerely on this post, so that a healthy discussion can take place at here.
Please appreciate where you find our work great and bring forth the points that we may  have missed and not focused it on.

Thank you,
Shukran

I am so glad that you are implementing circle time in your school. I have gone through the plan and I liked how you created a DETAILED plan with time chunks!
The pictures are wonderful and really capture the spirit of the activity. I am wondering if you could have shown a short video instead of a telling a story... AV always helps... just a thought. Thank you for sharing and I hope other schools are inspired to do circle time as well.

Also I hope you continue to do circle time at least 2-3 times a week and that it was not a one-time activity.
