Hi Stacey,
You might like to try incorporating Creative Sound Play into the mix. It's an entirely play-based, tried and true, easy to use codified system that is designed specifically for transitions to help teachers focus and engage their students. The benefits are that sound activities are done as short learning bursts that help children develop their active listening skills, EF, SEL, mindfulness, empathy, raises self-esteem and more.
The beauty of engaging kids with pure sound is that there is nothing children love to do more then make sound so getting their attention is super easy and then sound fuses seamlessly and beautifully with any curriculum or subject matter.
If you want please email me and I can send you more information.
Hope this helps,
Hayes Greenfield

Subject: Getting control back
Hello, I teach young threes and lately I've lost all control over them. Circle time is a nightmare and they will flat out ignore me. This is new behavior from them and I've tried changing circle time up and shortening it. Help! We transition to summer camp in June but I will still have this group.Thank you.
