Kindergarten Community Circle Lesson Plan

Students will share ideas and feelings in a supportive circle by responding to simple prompts, practicing active listening, and taking turns to foster trust and belonging.

Community circles build social-emotional skills, strengthen classroom community, and help kindergarteners feel heard and connected.
