IF YOU WERE TO USE CIRCLE TIME ACTIVITY IN YOUR CLASSROOM, HOW WOULD YOU GO ABOUT DOING IT? DO YOU ANTICIPATE ANY PROBLEM?

I am teaching Level 1 class in SK Tombongon Kota Kinabalu. Almost every day my Level 1 class have at least onecircle timein their daily schedule. My Year 1 class is only 13 pupils, my Year 2 class is only 8 pupils and my Year 3 class is only 4 pupils. My school is categorizing as SKM (Sekolah Kurang Murid). It is easy to do circle time activity in each class because it have less pupils and the class have enough space for the pupils to do their circle time activity. If I am going to do circle time activity in my class, first of all I will make sure that my circle time activity should reflect the needs and interests of the pupils in my class. Then I have to make sure that I have prepared space that I use every day for circle time. I give chance to each pupil to choose their specific spot to sit with enough space so that they do not have to touch one another.I usually do the circle time activity in classroom when I do reading activity, playing games that related to the topic I teach and sing a song activity. The pupils clap their hands or jump out happily while playing flashcard games. When the pupils sing songs or use rhymes they can do the hand motions or movements in the circle time activity.I did not anticipate any big problem while doing this circle time activity in my every class. It is only small problem like not enough time to do the activity and I cant do the activity because I had to attend meeting at PPD.
