[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Okay thank you for that. I’m surprised science and social studies are specials.

I taught (not in dc) and each day we had a 90 minute math time, 90 minute language arts time (guided reading and then writing), and a 45 minute chunk for science and a 45 minute chunk for social studies. There was also 30 minutes for lunch, 30 for recess, 45 for specials (library, Spanish, art, pe, music etc), and a 30 minute chunk for extension/remediation for language arts or math. [/quote]

Your list fills 6 hours 45 minutes, and doesn't include morning meeting or anything like that. DCPS elementaries are in school for 6 hours 30 minutes.[/quote]

It’s funny that people here complain about dcps all day and now when I challenge science and social studies being part of the day, there is push back and excuses.

So then make science 30 minutes and social studies 30 minutes. That leaves 15 minutes for morning meeting. Maybe have kids stay in their classrooms all day with the same teacher so time isn’t wasted switching classes. (I teach my homeroom all subjects except specials)

Or we can just skip science and social studies I guess. That sounds like a great plan. [/quote]
