| Please check our class schedule to find out exactly when each learning circle takes place in our daily routine. Also note, that later in the year the Tuesday/Thursday class will not be a repeat of Monday/Wednesday. We will continue our week as though everyone were 5 day students. I would like to thank all the other teachers who have shared ideas for this unit on the internet, especially Michelle at Hubbard's Cupboard for sharing some of the ideas we will be using! Thanks, Michelle! |
