[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s been like this for years. I’d like to call it Charlie Brown week.[/quote]+1. Even art class and music classes are movies.   Mary Poppins was one I heard that they watched.  They also watch multiple Magic School Bus episodes. Yesterday the teachers told them to empty their desks and take home everything — yet their is still another week. I agree with pp that they could work on grammar, spelling, math areas, etc. where the numerous assessments indicated gaps, but they don’t.  For 5 years now, we witness add end to teaching after SOLs.  [/quote]

I guess I just not playing this game the right way.  My students will be creating their own countries. They will create a name and a flag. They’ll decide where the country is located, describe the climate and how people adapt to meet their needs. They’ll come up with the main natural, capital and human resources. They’ll describe cultural aspects such as the language and holidays they’ve created. We will be sharing writing with other classes and we have lessons planned about singular and plural possessive nouns. In math they will create math games. On the last day they will be allowed to bring in their own board games for a game day and Liza lunch, but no movies.

I agree that packing up and inventory is a PITA, especially if one is moving classrooms (which I’ve done on average every 2 years over the last 20). [/quote]
