Rearranging

There is not enough time in the day. There is too much to do. There is so much more I want to do with my students.

I find myself saying this a lot lately. I am not sure where the time goes. I certainly do not feel like I am wasting classroom time, but I do feel like I could be spending it better.

We just returned from autumn break, and during that time I reevaluated our weekly schedule. I decided to try adding more time for Language Arts during the week, and then have bigger chunks of time on Fridays for Unit Studies.

Today was the first day I tried it out, and it was refreshing how much I felt like we got done today.

It is funny how rearranging classes can have that affect.
