Used in the Texas School Ready project for over a decade, the CIRCLE Activity Collection: Pre-K to Grade 2 includes over 500 classroom lessons in English and Spanish. Perfect for public schools, Head Starts, and center- or home-based childcare, the collection supports teachers’ implementation through video examples, sample lesson scripts, scaffolding tips, and alignments to state guidelines, as well as Head Start Early Learning Outcomes Framework. The collection has tools to filter and save favorite activities. The collection also supports data-driven instructional planning through integration with the CIRCLE Progress Monitoring System (Pre-K) and the Texas Kindergarten Entry Assessment (K).
The CIRCLE Pre-K Curriculum leverages activities from this collection in the scope and sequence.
