We just have a few FOSS things that don't quite fit it, but we figure it out! I do a lot of our social studies during our class meetings - and during the theme. It's HARD though!!!Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10364050196576460037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4808820508498479724.post-3828204704721220332012-11-17T10:24:56.101-06:002012-11-17T10:24:56.101-06:00I love the idea of going to the computer lab once ...I love the idea of going to the computer lab once a week during rest time - it may be tricky since we have specials right away afterwards though...

I still have the hardest time getting in that science/soc studies component but sure do try. Thanks for all the great units you produce. I love using them during center time!

I have been feeling guilty for trying to fit that in. One day a week our rest time is in the computer lab and one day a week I try to show a signing time video. They LOVE it! We have a strange schedule because our lunch is so early (10:40-11:20 recess first then lunch). It leaves us with 2 1/2 hours straight in the afternoon. Yup...no breaks and nothing but me. I keep thinking I should love that time but I had been struggling with keeping it moving and "feeling" right. I am also using Reader's Workshop and Writer's workshop, and the afternoon is going better.<br /><br />Terri Izatt<br /><a href="www.merrykinderkapers.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">KinderKapers</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4808820508498479724.post-29759374531107680762012-11-10T14:47:53.708-06:002012-11-10T14:47:53.708-06:00I type it on my computer.

I do a lot of new teaching/introducing of concepts during my calendar time. I will also try to squeeze some math learning into theme lessons. If I do have a quick lesson, I'll squeeze it in just before math centers (which only really take about 20 minutes). I'll also put explorations activities out during free play.Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10364050196576460037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4808820508498479724.post-65102742604546136552012-11-10T13:34:30.740-06:002012-11-10T13:34:30.740-06:00I'm tired at the end of the day!

By the time they are quiet, rest time only lasts about 15 minutes (after the story!).

As our utterly horrible new series, the lessons are taking me such a ridiculous long amount of time! Like an hour!! I love doing math centers, but list the time. It's so disturbing.
