I find that when I veer off my normal routine poor behavior follows. I spend the last week of school having a special theme each day to celebrate the end of the year.

I taper off the structured learning and do fun things. The kids love performing plays, so we practice those so we can present them to our parents and other classes. And of course baking and Christmas activities seem to keep them all focused and engaged.merakihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12399613413957262054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-619775639701379152.post-59027493935635936922013-05-10T18:48:39.178-05:002013-05-10T18:48:39.178-05:00Thanks for this post.
