Daily Schedule



Welcome to our world in first grade this year!

I'm starting to really think about the 2013-2014 school year now that it is mid July! So I thought I would take a look over my curriculum schedule. I've have the same schedule now for 4 years and this year it will be different! I've always had lunch around 11 and specials around 1:45 so a new schedule will be a big change for my first grade team. 

Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday all look exactly the same but on Wednesday the kids get out of school an hour earlier and so our schedule is slightly different. The teachers still stay on Wednesday and usually have staff meetings, professional development, or work with our teams.

I love how much time we have for writing this year! It will truly make the process so much easier with first graders. It was always a struggle in the past because we had 20/30 minutes to teach and write which wasn't enough. Now we have time to teach and time for them to write. I think we'll get so much more writing done this year!

What does your schedule look like? Do you have any questions about my schedule? Does it look similar to yours or completely different? I would love to see other bloggers schedules.

    1. I know what you mean Liz! I wish we could create our own schedules. The bigger the school is the harder it is to get a "good" schedule though. I'm trying to make the best of when our specials and lunch are during the day.

    1. I know it is so late this year! I will have to get used to it but I feel bad for the kids. We will have to do a snack probably right after specials.
