I must apologize for not posting last week - glad Kristi popped in on Saturday!
We had morning duty last week (a pleasure the
torture we have every 6-7 weeks or so). Ugh! It makes me feel completely
behind. Add a Back-To-School Revival at my church Monday – Wednesday evenings,
my son’s first cross country meet and my daughter’s first volleyball game on
Thursday evening, and you will understand why I was MIA.
I literally came home Friday and laid on the couch all evening
– blissfully doing absolutely nothing playing words with friends and even that
was too taxing for my worn out brain so I had to stop. LOL!
Speaking of morning duty, I’m curious how other schools handle
it. None of us are completely happy with our current system, but we don’t
really have any better ideas.
Here’s how it works…we are a K-6 school and morning duty lasts
from 7:45-8:10. The students are grouped by grade levels – K-1, 2-4, and 5-6.
One week a grade level group will be in the gym doing activities with our
awesome PE teacher while the two other groups are sitting in the hallway “reading.”
I put that in quotes because most of the kids just pretend and to be honest I
don’t care as long as they are quiet. The K-1 group sits in the library and
watches a video instead of reading in the hallway for obvious reasons.
I know we’re all busy right now, but if you can find the time
to post a comment about your morning duty, we’d love to hear from you!
Happy Labor Day - enjoy the extra day off!
Crystal
