Circle time

[fruitloop]

I also have 18 month olds that can talk quite well, so are very much capable of communicating to some extent with this. I also want to add that I'm not doing this for hours on end...this takes about 20 minutes at most so it's not like the whole day is like this...20 minutes is not a lot of time at all. With all my older kids gone, my routine works just fine, it's just changed a bit to accommodate the age group. I'm their example of what they're suppose to do just like I was the example of the older ones when they first started. Of course i'm not asking a 12, 15, or 18 month old to remember a colour, shape or number nor am I asking them to point it out. Right now they are learning to participate in a group activity and learn to sit for a short period of time. it's all a learning process for them like any thing else.
