On Fridays, we have catch-up day. This is an opportunity to let kids finish assignments that were started during the week. At 2:00, if this work is not finished, the students will go to one of our rooms to finish and the other students will have choice time. Choice time is not Free Time! There are a few activities they may choose to work on during this time. The students will always have the choice to play chess or read. Crossword puzzles, boggle, yahtzee, scrabble, bananagrams, math 24, kiva planks, rummy 500, or jigsaw puzzles are some of the choices.
If work is not finished by 2:55, then it will need to be brought home to be finished over the weekend. If your child has worked on the assignment diligently and brought it home, then we want you to decide how much time it should be worked on over the weekend. Work brought back on Monday can always be finished at lunchtime or during the morning business time.
Please let us know if you have any questions. We want all students to start fresh each Monday. We want to set high expectations, but also want to meet the needs of each student in the best way possible.
Every Friday morning we have Problem Solving during math time. I will write another post this weekend to share some pictures and video from today.
