Group Entry Logic

4th Grade Lesson 4

Social Entry Points

Joining a group that is already talking is like merging onto a highway.

"If you enter too fast, you cause a 'social crash'. If you wait too long, you never get in."

Wait for the group to acknowledge your presence with a glance or a shift in spacing.

Shoulders are touching or angled inward. No physical gaps.

Everyone is looking at a shared object or task. No one looks up.

Voices are low or very fast. The topic is highly focused.

"Stand within 3 feet of the group. If they don't open the circle within 60 seconds, they aren't ready for a new entry. Move to a different group."

Wait 60s
