Was just going to say that. Even though on the schedule it might say one hour for circletime what it really means is from 10-11 we clean up from play, go potty/change diapers - I mean who wants to sit in a wet one or have a kid scream I have to pee in the middle of story. Then we get settled and start. But it also doesn't mean we sit for the whole time either. The planned hour could include sitting for a story, playing a game, doing a science experiment, going over to the window to discuss the weather and the world outside. Circletime for me simply means teacher planned time - the list of things I want to do with the children in between what they want to do.
