Baker’s Dozen Plus 3

Early release days are difficult for all of us. It is hard to get the children to realize that we are not taking vacation for a week, but simply not having afternoon classes. They get really excited and rambunctious in class. However, that was not the case today. I was really proud of every one’s behavior, attentiveness, and self-control during our entire morning particularly during our evacuation drill (This is done once a year.). We began right off the bat with Mrs. Kurzman’s writing lesson. Today she wrote a report on ants with the students. (See our Writing page for more details.) They worked with her for 90 minutes with a brief break in the middle. Wow! Then we had health class with Mrs. Dillon while eating our snack. Again, everyone was attentive and participated in Mrs. Dillon’s lesson on the food pyramid. We ended our morning in the library with Mrs. Romanoff. Again, from what I saw passing by occasionally, each person was engaged and was on his/her best behavior. Terrific Job ! All the apples are delivered and there were none left. A few were sold to passersby including Mrs. Kurzman.
