Regular Routine?

Is it possible for an elementary teacher to have a regular routine? We're starting our third week of school and are hoping to have some sort of routine. We've already jumped ahead of our usual schedule with our third graders. Much of our placement/baseline testing is completed (DE Math test this week). We've already built stamina for Daily 5 and BUILD (our math workshop).  Class sizes are down from last year and that is a HUGE blessing! 45 in our combined class is so much more manageable than 55 or 56!  Best thing...learning is already happening!

New Student!

 

This makes 28! My co-teacher has 27.  If you did the math, you know we are teaching 55 kids, all day, every day! And, we really love it! Stay tuned to learn more about the advantages of teaching together.
