We&#8217;ll broadcast over the intercom at 8:15am if it&#8217;s working, otherwise we&#8217;ll have Nathan roaming the hallway playing his loudest.<br><br>2) Once the gym is operational we&#8217;ll use a google doc to sign up for usage time&#8211;stay tuned.<br><br>3) I&#8217;ve dropped off copies of the new <strong>zone rotations<\/strong> in your classrooms.  Lindsey has offered to flex her recess times on Monday so we can keep our schedule the same while we don&#8217;t have access to the gym (we&#8217;ll have it Tuesday).  For Monday, Grade 1 and 2 rotation is as follows:<br><strong>AM Recess<\/strong>: Grade 1 in Zone 1, Garde 2 in Zone 2<br><strong>Lunch Recess<\/strong>: Grade 1 in Zone 2, Garde 2 in Zone 2<br><strong>PM Recess<\/strong>: Grade 1 in Zone 1, Garde 2 in Zone 2<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">4) We&#8217;ll be <strong>adding back 30 minutes of PE per class per week<\/strong>.  Mindy will take each class beginning <strong>after Spring Break<\/strong>.  I&#8217;ll get a schedule together this week.  Thanks for going without for so long, I  truly appreciate it!<br><br>5) <strong>Walking field trips<\/strong>.  I&#8217;m being told we are still not allowed to do any field trips of any kind&#8211;so, we&#8217;ll need to hold off for a little while.  However, since our field is still not usable, I&#8217;m giving you permission to use Troy Field whenever you want.<br><br>6) <strong>Staff meeting on Wednesday at 2pm<\/strong>.  Let&#8217;s use this time to troubleshoot issues that come up with our return and to strategize how to build back our community.  Please come with ideas!<br><br>7) Let&#8217;s make time for a drink together on Thursday after school, 3:30pm. If it&#8217;s nice weather we&#8217;ll meet somewhere outside, if not we&#8217;ll find a spot we can meet indoors.  Please come if you can!<br><br>I think that&#8217;s it, but my mind is a bit mushy at the moment.  I&#8217;m going to miss seeing you every time you use the bathroom, so please be sure to stop by and visit me in the office&#8230;<br><br>It&#8217;s so, so good to be back at Amity with all of you!
