The 30 extra minutes added to our school day to make up for snow days begins TODAY, March 16. This will continue every day until Friday, April 1. Students will be dismissed at 3:00 instead of 2:30.
What will we be doing during this extra time in our classroom? We will have enough time for writing! Our writing time is usually cut short, not allowing students time to really be creative and add details in their writing. We also only have enough time for 2 tables to have their writing checked each day. During our normal writing time we will have a mini-lesson and then do our own writing in journals in the extra 30 minutes at the end of the day. This will give us more time to devote to more students and do more "adult writing" for them. They will also be able to share their work with their friends. We look forward to this extra time together! :)
