Schedule, Calendar, Specials
In Renaissance, the schedule is not set in stone. I try to follow the children and what they are interested in and working on at the time. This is especially true when we are working on large Problem-Based Learning projects.
The rough idea:
Morning - ELA (Writing is included in each subject)
Sometimes a Science impressionistic lesson
Independent work/small group
Specials - 9:50-10:35
lunch/recess 11:05-11:45
Math
Independent/small group
Second recess 2:05-2:20
Science is ongoing throughout the day
Social studies
Independent work/small group
Week 1 Art
Week 2 PE
Week 3 Spanish
Week 4 PE
Week 5 Music
Week 6 PE
