So in my last post (which was forever and a day ago), I mentioned some issues I was having with scheduling.I was so intrigued by those of you that said you had essentially no time limitations on how long you had to teach certain subjects.
We have district wide expectations, but I also think because I teach in a Title I school, they are extra concerned with whether or not I'm teaching what I should and for how long I should.
So, I was FINALLY able to come up with a solution. It involves lots of stopping in the middle of instruction, but you gotta do what you gotta do I guess. My room basically looks like a wreck ALL DAY LONG, but whatever.
So, here is my new schedule:
Monday, Thursday, & Friday:

The reason I have 3 schedules is we go to our school's Garden Classroom on Wednesday for an hour. This counts as Science and I don't have a chance to do S.S. on these days.
So that's my updated schedules. Thanks SO much to those of you that commented and helped me! I hope everyone is doing well. Sorry I have been absent. I've also been completely absent from stalking all of your wonderful blogs! Boo :( I hope everyone is doing fabulous :)
