This year we have a variety of schedules: one for art, p.e. or music; another for science lab; another for computer lab; another for Wednesdays(and every other Wed.) and another for the last 6 weeks of school each quarter. The changes are minimal, but enough to throw some off their game when they thrive on routine!
Last week went well. We have now been to all specials, including computer and science lab. Students enjoyed them all, with the most comments written about art! Cursive is going well, too. Students got to try their best letter on the SMARTbd. using special ink. We watched a vid clip on bones and muscles. Students are excited about Homeworkopoly, which is played each Monday.
We have only had three days of perfect attendance because of a stomach virus that seems to have hit our class. We try to wash hands as often as possible and keep sneezes covered. This week should be better......each week we're adding more and more to our schedule as we "get our groove....."
