ASSIGNMENT (read the case study below)

Circle time is the most challenging time of the preschool day for Lisa, a recent college graduate who is new to early childhood education. She struggles with keeping the children engaged and sitting cross-legged for the thirty-minute daily circle. Some of the preschoolers roll around on the floor, while others cannot keep their hands to themselves.

Based on what you know about typical child development, what suggestions would you give to Lisa regarding circle time?  Tell why you think Lisa is having the problems she is with circle time. Describe the techniques/activities you would use during this time that you think would eliminate the problems she described. Tell each technique or way you would prevent these problems from occurring and why do you think they are more appropriate for this age group than the circle time she has been conducting. Refer to information in Chapter 4 to support your responses.

Write a 1-page paper (200-300 words) responding to the case study situation above. Be sure to respond fully to the questions posed and make sure you do NOT simply state your own personal opinion.
