Re: I need some help with ideas!

Just some thoughts:
I hear you about the children being tired of instruction. I
would have the snack earlier in the program, perhaps after
school. Do you have a helper??? You need to divide the
children some way. That age range is too large to effectively
teach a structured subject matter lesson. Perhaps a retired
teacher(s) or parent could come in and assist you an afternoon
or two a week. Helping with homework is important and maybe
the older ones could be "teacher" to the younger ones after
they completed their homework.
