| From our game "Mono Malo" where kids look for the "Mono malo" and the rest of us count in Spanish while they look! Based off of Bryce Hedstrom's "el bebé feo" game. |
Don't get me wrong. My classes are generally good as far as behavior. I have kids who don't always look at me or try to put their heads down like in any class. I do my best to point at the expectations and remind them when they fail them. Letting them know that is what I expect of them because it's part of their 50%.
But I teach at a school where we use Block Scheduling (4 - 90 minute periods every day)
What I found was that classes were really long and although I've found ways to break it up, it was hard to keep the steam going all year.
