Schedule Update

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:
7:10-7:45:  Math Morning Work, Morning News, Review Morning Work
7:45-8:00:  Morning Meeting & Restroom Break

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 :)
