How Do I Create My Activities in the CIRCLE Activity Collection?

Open

 Instructions

1. Log in to CLI Engage.  On the dashboard view, locate the blue banner Activities and Materials

2. Click on CIRCLE Activity Collection: Pre-K to Grade 2

3. Select the grade you require to view the relevant activities

4. Sort activities by Learning Areas, Activity Settings and Special Features. To select an activity click the title.

5. The setting, materials, objectives and scripting is available to assist with lesson planning.
   The activities will show alignment with the Pre K Guidelines , the Head Start Early Learning Outcomes Framework and the Kindergarten Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS)

6. The script guides the teacher through the direct instruction for the activity. The activities are designed as gradual release: the objectives are stated in child friendly terms followed by a demonstration of the activity (I do/you watch). Then with guided practice the teacher scaffolds the children‘s attempts to try the activity and finally leads to independent practice. Extension activities provide ideas to incorporate the activity into centers or other practice opportunities with variations on the activity. All of the activities are print ready. This is an example of a moderately  scripted activity. The bolded sentences guide the teacher on how to teach the lesson in each step.

7. The My Activities function allows teachers to select activities for custom groupings in the assessment results. When a custom grouping is created, teachers can select My Activities  and determine specific activities for the custom grouping.

   Click on Add to My Activities

8. Click on add notes if desired. Type in note and save.

9. Select  My Activities on the main navigation bar and view your saved activities. You can print the activity. It will show learning domain: subdomain, objective and notes.
