Classroom Management
On Thursday afternoon, after observing my students at the end of the day, I discovered that many of them are feeling a little anxious about getting out to the bus on time. Our schedule (which unfortunately I have no control over) does have us ending special at 3:45 and the bell rings at 3:50. This does not give the kids very much time to grab their stuff and go. However, I make sure that we are mostly packed up before we leave to our special class so we aren't scrambling too bad. I have tried to tell the students that there is no need to hurry and the busses will not leave without them. I am hoping in the near future they can relax and understand that it is not a race. I just hate to end the day with them feeling frustrated and stressed out. If you could please talk to your child about this issue and reassure them that there is no need to feel rushed. I promise to get them where they need to be on time and no one will be left here at school to parish! LOL!

In social studies Mrs. Allen taught about what makes a state in our country. They also had the opportunity to see that we belong to a continent, country, state, and city. The kids are really enjoying learning from Mrs. Allen.
