Around The Halls with Mrs. Munson Activity Period Update by Grace Dietrich How did you think Activity Period went this year? “Even though this was the first year and we experienced some ‘growing pains’, I think it went extremely well.” Will you switch it up some next year? “Yes. There will be some new things introduced. Most of what is taught is based on student need so that dictates the majority of offerings” If so, how will you? “There is no set answer to this question. Some students may be in a new group each quarter, and some may remain working in the same one. Again, it is based on what each individual student requires.” Why did you choose to do activity period? “2 reasons: It fulfills the state requirements for response to intervention. It helps students achieve more success and provides enrichment opportunities.” Do you wish you should have started activity period earlier? “Yes. That would have been nice. However, there is a great deal of plan ning and resource acquisition for each quarter and it took time to get the program up and running.” Will you continue on doing activity period? “Absolutely! We have seen very positive results. We will also continue to refine and expand the activity period.” Do you enjoy reading the Hornet Herald? “Very much so! I am very proud of the work of the Hornet Herald staff.”
