[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids' teachers basically stopped teaching the Friday before Memorial Day.  June has been a complete waste, with nearly zero learning going on.  The only teachers who seem to give a damn are the band teachers.  Kids have been asking if they even need to go in this week because it's just movies and down time.  I don't want to hear one word about learning loss when teachers basically gave up these last 3 weeks.[/quote]

I do not know what school your kid is at but we are not allowed to just "give up" the month of June. We taught new content all the way until this week. This week, I introduced shapes and taught it my way: creating shapescapes, forming shapes with our bodies while marching, and using playdough to make shapes. Then, we did read-alouds that taught lessons and were culturally diverse and made plays, diorama's and wrote poems about them. This week, we had field day, water day and a movie day but it is grade or school-wide, so it is uniform. Our kids and parents are grateful, happy and well-behaved. [/quote]
