Fridays

[Countrygal]

I have been thinking about making Friday a more laid-back, yet organized day. My thoughts are to end the week on a good note. It seems that the first three days of the week go well, the fourth day is getting a little "iffy" and by Friday everyone is "burned out".

I'm hoping to come up with a multitude of ideas - big projects that will take up several hours on Fridays in order to make them fun and less stressful and less unruly.

Here's what I've come up with so far - it's just a start. I'd love ideas from all of you! You are such wonderful idea people!

- Make your own pizza lunch
- Carpet picnic day
- Movie theater day (complete with dvds, popcorn, soda, etc)
-at the beach in the house day

Like I said, I don't have many ideas yet. I'm counting on you to give me tons!

Friday here is a free day...

In the morning I go over everything that we learned throughout the week. Then I play with the kids off and on most of the day with all of the cool stuff from our lessons.

I was a mail carrier and a dentist already this morning. It really helps those kids that I have a hard time with having a teacher/ student relationship see me be silly and funny outside of learning time and that I am not just a teacher, but I am a friend too.

BUT I must warn you. Some times free fridays are nuts, the kids don't know what to do without the structure that they get monday- thursday...

We go down for naps earlier on friday and everyone gets an additonal 20min of sleeping time to prep them for the weekend.....

Pajama day is a hit here!

Travel day! pick an area to travel too! like say china, make paper lanterns, eat a chineese dish, learn a chineese song.
