Mrs. Wilch has some great photos from community circle to share. Her class does an I Love You ritual each morning. They roll the dice to choose, and the class favorite is “Row, Row, Row Your Boat.”
These rituals increase attention span, decrease power struggles, and promote language and literacy at school or at home. I Love You Rituals build positive, lifelong bonds between adults and children! Thanks for sharing Mrs. Wilch.
