Circle Time Plans 2012

We have tried to start our school day with a 'Circle Time'.  For us, that means gathering together after breakfast, Bible time with Dad, and our morning 'chores' routine.  (Make bed, get dressed, etc.)  This year, I wanted to add a few more activities that we could all do together.  I'm looking forward to this time four days a week.
