In this episode, Jacob and Pam answer Hanah’s question about a day when all the ELL students are being pulled from the class for a week due to TELPAS. Pam shares how she just had a moment last week when she only had five students left in class for a similar reason. Jacob discusses how these days occur for other reasons as well, so he has had to fill time with ‘filler’ lessons.

Pam recalls how she incorporates reading and writing into these types of days while offering a few writing strategies to get the students writing.  Jacob shares how he likes to use these days for team building activities.

Join Jacob and Pam as they share how workshop structure will help you be more flexible for the unexpected day!
