What Do We Do All Day?

I know you all must be wondering what we do all day! As a mom of a third grader, I wonder the same thing. Let me tell you, we never stop! We get a lot of work and learning done in the short amount of time we have together.

1. We read. We read voraciously. (your child will know what that means) If we find any free second, we read. Then they take Reading Counts quizzes and earn point. Points earn them rewards.

2. We work like crazy. I have encouraged all the student to do their best on assignments and focus during lessons.

3. We collect Box Tops for Education. Keep them coming!

4. We relax. Kids can sit in the classroom recliner to read or learn. Sitting in the recliner is a Reading Counts reward.

5. We sit on our sensory seats. Instead of chairs, some students can sit on a sensory ball. This has been shown to help with focus and attention.

6. We listen to music. For years I have been listening to Gary Lamb. Listening to music is great for focus and helping us learn all we can.

7. We smell good things! I love candles and melted wax! I always have something good to smell in the classroom.
