[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We try and be positive about all of this but Mondays are a joke. DS is good about entertaining himself but he is done with his school work by lunch. We have him do all the must dos and may dos. Then he does his AoPS math. He also has his speech in the morning. His friends are done pretty quickly as well. DS's biggest complaint is that his friends don't have to do the may do assignments but he does. We simply told him that it is assigned school work and it gives him something to do for a little bit while we are working.

[b]I have no idea how the schools are able to use Monday as a school day for tracking purposes because there is no more then an hours worth of work assigned[/b].[/quote]

Our school assigns a few hours (which I think is what they are supposed to do).

However I do suggest that everyone on this thread who is upset about Monday contact the state superintendent of schools. Tell him to never give another hours waiver like this again and how it is not the same as a real school day. His contact info is here:

Dr. James Lane, superintendent@doe.virginia.gov, 804-225-2057

That will do more to ensure that we never have something like this again than complaining on DCUM.[/quote]

Yes. 2-3 hours.

I just finished my lunch. I did Morning Meeting 9:00 to a little after 9:30. I then went over each assignment for the day. I met with a reading group at 10:00 and another at 10:20. I’ve spent some time here at school trouble shooting some tech issues with our SBTS. I will now work on getting things ready for tomorrow.

My students have:
A math assignment with lesson slides about area.
ST Math
A recorded lesson about book talks and an assignment to complete a book talk using Flipgrid.
A social studies assignment about resources.

I know it’s not ideal and I hope we can be back to our “normal” schedule on the fall.[/quote]

I don't understand. I thought all FCPS schools were now totally "asynchronous" (AKA no learning) on Mondays?

No, some FCPS schools chose to keep some synchronous things on Monday. Our ES doesn't do reading groups, but still does do Morning Meeting. The stated reason was that the teachers liked the time to go over the days' assignments with the kids.

My third grader's work for the day is similar to what's posted above, a little more LA and no social studies though.[/quote]
