They assign chapel groups of a cross-section of ages, with an eighth grader in charge. They sit together in chapel, with the eighth grader responsible for keeping order in his/her group. They also use these groups for some other projects, including several times a week for recess-play. Two of our teachers had seen that modeled at Faith Builders. --Linda RoseAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11022879.post-56839833991957415272010-02-04T09:22:09.608-08:002010-02-04T09:22:09.608-08:00yay for this post--I loved it.

They need to finish at least 3 Paces in every subject and get an 88% average. Sometimes they have pizza, sometimes a field trip, can't remember what else.<br /><br />Byran--Paul says several times a month he used to have all the kids play a steal-sticks type of game together for P.E., "not to the joy of the older ones," but Amy says when Barb was there she always had PE with the younger ones. I used your and Em's names as examples of older and younger kids in those days but I could be wrong.Dorcashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07050605764466835485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11022879.post-57680513624990698862010-02-04T06:08:20.619-08:002010-02-04T06:08:20.619-08:00Wait a second, when did I play games with Emily?Wait a second, when did I play games with Emily?Byranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02904365789033352077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11022879.post-24923180795601794752010-02-04T05:42:23.791-08:002010-02-04T05:42:23.791-08:00I'm curious.

At our school, our pizza parties are "merit parties"--earned for doing lots of little things right, but not including grades. Field trips are the reward for ending the quarter on privilege, and the reward for being on honor roll is . . . adulation, I guess, since not much more than that happens as a result of it. For honor roll, we do figure in the grades for conventional classes as well as pace work, which makes things a little more interesting, since no one ever gets lower than an 80% as a pace grade.Mrs. Ihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05660178013279134792noreply@blogger.com
