when most of class is gone

Today was a difficult day with lots of students gone for various groups..I am teaching at a very small school and any activitiy that takes students away for the day really makes it hard to do anything. I have been previewing what I will be doing when everyone gets back but it still feels like a waste of time...anyone have any ideas for those days when you only have about 1/3 of your class?

  1. Just wait until the spring sports are all out at once and the band/choirs are at a conference!

  3. well...what if you had a couple take home reading activities that went with each unit, then when you found yourself with a large part of the class gone you could assign those as alternate assignments. i dont know, i dont like it when they are all gone. the worst is that they expect you to be responsible for their missing work when they get back!
