We have a 4 day acedemic week at our school. I aim to give students notes 2 days a week and hands on 2 days a week. This may mean 1/2 period of notes and begin activity one day and finish notes and activity the next day etc. I used them twice this past week and did activities the other days. My students seem to love them but with 6th graders I do not do notes every day. It gets boring for all of us.
