This learning/teaching week calls me to be mostly a student coach--there's MCAS review, play practice, proctoring MCAS, STEAM science exploration completion, and biography reading, research, note taking, and writing. To coach takes good energy and a focused class of students. There's a bit of paperwork to complete as well as I organize transition packets and materials for students moving onto sixth grade and those coming to fifth grade too. We'll likely have a short class meeting each day to help with this need for good energy too.
On the home front, a healthy weekly routine will support this need as well. Onward.
