If they didn't get it after 180 days of school, 15 more days was not going to make one iota of difference. Plus, there were always some who were there because it was cheaper for mom than getting a sitter, which meant I couldn't even focus on those who needed it the most since I also had to challenge the top ones! I lasted two summers...<br /><br />Hang in there!<br /><br />Might modify your area idea for second grade.

I ...Hi Chrissy:<br />I loved everything about this post!<br />I think we have quite similar feelings about teaching kids these days.<br /><br />And I really like your area idea. Our room is too small (we're already tripping over each other), but I think I might be able to pull this off in the auditorium.<br /><br />I hope it's okay if I borrow your song too. That's a good one!<br /><br />Thanks again, Chrissy, for commenting on my blog woes. Posts like yours today one remind me how lucky I am to have so many opportunities to learn from other teachers--while drinking coffee in my pajamas... This beats our PD days any day!<br /><br />Kim<br /><a href="http://joyin6th.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Finding JOY in 6th Grade</a>Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03596768050411395194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5049873368665149347.post-1976516088667609922012-03-03T10:25:31.325-07:002012-03-03T10:25:31.325-07:00Thank you for the song.

I'm collecting songs that teach because my students always love to sing! :) <br /><br />I teach second, so our curriculum dictates perimeter. I have those little sweeties who choose NOT to follow classroom procedures and protocol and end up losing some of their recess. Well, I have escorted them around the "perimeter" of the playground the first time and for the amount of time they must pay, they are required to "Walk the Perimeter!" I think all my students will know perimeter because those who behave don't want to walk the perimeter while those who misbehave do it enough that they'll definitely know perimeter. :D<br /><br />There's more than one way to skin that cat! <br /><br />Melly<><<br /><br /><i><b><a href="http://staplersstrategies.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Stapler’s Strategies for Sizzlin' Second Graders!</a></b></i>Mrs. S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06340972326847556980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5049873368665149347.post-62530461967187604182012-03-02T23:10:58.558-07:002012-03-02T23:10:58.558-07:00Fun way to do area.
