It is my understanding that the block for library, PE, music and art will be on a rotation with low frequency. I have heard that it is 16 maybe 17 days. Whatever the true number, I highly recommend that the frequency be greatly increased.

When I was diagnosed with cancer, it was a shock for my husband and me, as it is for anybody and everybody. It was unexpected, a simple routine test that went south. After several surgeries that summer, my physician declared that the tumors had all been removed. And she said the latest research showed that I would not need chemotherapy. That was certainly one of the high points of that experience. My husband and I went off to Switzerland to hike for a long planned for vacation, which was exhilarating. Despite concerns with flying and traveling up and down elevations, I did beautifully!

When I had a concussion, the physician wagged her finger at me with a prescription for sensory isolation for 3 days - no screen time, no reading, no bright lights, no music. I had brought 5 books with me to work on a syllabus that weekend, which I did diligently for 5 hours.
