[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And why are there so many awkward breaks???? I just added up the hours and it is 4 hours live instruction for one child and 4.5 hours for my other child of live instruction. This does not include the MTSS. At least our school moved the family choice time to the end of the day.

I understand kids can’t sit straight through. Our school has 20-45 min breaks throughout the day from 8:30-3. Why does there have to be a closing meeting?

One kid has morning meeting, MTSS, break, specials, break, social studies, break, lunch, math, break, writing, closing meeting.
Another kid has morning meeting, reading, break, MTSS, math, break, social studies, lunch, specials, break, writing, closing meeting.

How many total live hours do your kids have?

1 hour math, 1 hour language arts, half hour specials and half hour social studies would have been just perfect.[/quote]

If you have ES kids, then the reading and math time are actually only 15-20 minutes instruction and the rest is small groups.[/quote]

What Virginia schools have started????[/quote]

They haven't started, but a lot of us already have our schedules.

And to the pp in our case last year live instruction time was 20 minutes and the rest was dedicated to the student doing the assignment offline. So it wasn't even small group. If our teacher did do small group it was during the 20 minute live. This was for 1st grade though. I'm hoping to have more student engagement in 2nd. [/quote]
