But main lesson blocks aren't all we do!
In addition to our main lesson time, my older students have individual and small group work time. They get to choose how they spend the time which is not taken up with Specials or Main Lessons, and they are required to keep a record of their work and share their record with the class every day. This morning Choice Time is an opportunity for projects of personal interest, as well as daily review of previously-covered math and language arts lessons.
