Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

Community Circle time (CCT) and theme discussion
Follow basic procedures of the community circle time (as in K2.1.1.1.1) and introduce the theme for the week. Display a conversational poster and some concrete materials related to the theme, and engage learners in active discussion on the theme. Model how to use culturally/cultured and polite language in answering questions for them to see and do likewise when needed. Call on learners randomly to answer questions or contribute to the discussion
Have learners role-play various safety measures in small groups and sing songs alongside (if you see a traffic light, there is something you should know, red means stop, ...). Think-pair-share with peers as they discuss some of the safety measures.
E.g. role-play on how to handle pointed objects, sharp objects, hot objects that can hurt or burn (cooking pot), cutlass, hoe, etc.
