We're at the time of year where field trips, track meets, testing, and skip days make it so I may never have my whole class in attendance two days in a row. When they ARE there, it's the last period of the day and they've about had it. We're on a block schedule so I have them just twice a week, every other day. The "end of the year checkout" happened at the beginning of fourth quarter this year, and I'm out of ideas for what to engage them with.
Just a vent. But. If anyone has any simple, any-level-of-expertise lessons, activities, scene prompts... I guess I'm feeling the burnout myself too. I need to stop reading the news.
