Let's talk about another amazing student-led activity you can incorporate into your literacy classroom or homeschool that doesn't take a whole lot of time in your schedule. It is CLOSING CIRCLE. In our last episode, we chatted about how Morning Meeting can provide a safe peer learning environment that provides a sense of trust, encourages respectful learning, helps regulate emotions, and builds a strong sense of community. 

Well, just like Morning Meeting, Closing Circle is another quick activity you can implement that will bring the school day to a peaceful end, enhance learning and reaffirms classroom community. All you need is 5- or 10-minutes before you say good-bye and you'll feel calmer or more energized and your students or children will feel the same.
