Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

Can someone briefly describe circle time to me? Do you do it with your children? What sorts of things do you do in circle time?

Thanks!!
Terry

Hi, Terry! There have been some great threads about this topic before. I went to the top right, clicked "search", and entered in "circle time". Lots of results popped up, including this one:

Hope that helps!

Hi! We have 4 boys and 1 baby girl, ages 6, 5, almost 4, 2, and 6 1/2 months. For our Circle time, we start out as a whole family by lighting a candle and saying 3 short prayers to the holy family (One to Jesus, One to Mary, and One to Joseph)and then we sing the Angel of God. Next the children line up on the floor and we do calendar. We talk about the weather and the Saint of the day or special holiday, etc.. Next my husband takes over with his guitar and does some singing and movement with the children. When they're done, my husband takes our 2 year old out of the classroom (sometimes the baby too) and the 6,5,and almost 4 years olds start their Montessori work. I hope that helps!
