• HANDS: 

  • Remember that the group that stays in the class should be engaging in small group/personalized instruction. This time is not "free time". It has to be purposeful, planned for and targeted. 

  • Suggested method:

    • 8h45-9h55: Calendar

    • 9h55-9h15: Targeted activities 

• Composting every day. Please remember this is very important to keep our compost bin alive. 

  • Kids sort compostable/non compostable/regular waste in each classroom (3 trash cans)

  • Every afternoon, have a compost helper pour the compostable waste in each grade level bin. 

  • Every morning, the groups that go to the garden during HANDS need to bring the grade-level bin. Please make sure to mix the contents 50/50: organic waste and dry material (cascarilla de arroz or dry leaves).

  • 1st Grade, bring compost right after lunch; Meli Vorkeck will be in charge of bringing all 1st Grade helpers after lunch.
