Two days till the end of school for this year and I figure there shouldn’t be much for these kids to do.
This 3rd grade teacher’s lesson plan bared this out.
This was the day they were supposed to complete their mid-year assessment test. I found out from another teacher that this was to go into their permanent record.
I always thought that the accursed “permanent record” threat was a myth! Now I know…
Lesson plan for Thursday…
Allotted 01:15:00 test time for mid-year assessment test. – Kids finished it in about 30 minutes.
Allotted 01:00:00 Writing – You gotta be kidding. Way too much for 3rd graders.
Allotted 00:45:00 SSR – Again, you gotta be kidding. Way too much for sustained reading.
Allotted 01:00:00 Math – Kids finished off these 20 questions in less than 30 minutes
And then ….00: 30:00 of “whatever…” - End of the day of “Do what you want. PE, games, etc
The only activity I would have liked more time for was………..Lunch!
I let them play several rounds of a game that the kids assured me was a quiet activity. I had different kids run the “Thumbs Up 7-UP” game, because I thought it would be interesting to see how they react when given a leadership role.
--OR--
…. Maybe it was because I don’t know the rules or how to play the game.
