In order to make up the learning time missed during the strike, each MPS site is adding 42 minutes of instructional time to each day. At Lucy Laney, grade level teams have the autonomy to extend their learning blocks throughout the day and include more time for interventions and enrichment. Many teams are using the extra time to do project-based learning, spend more time on literacy and math, and build in more time for community building and Social Emotional Learning. Grade levels will also have additional time with the specialist team for movement and cross-curricular projects.
