A quick positive and struggle from yesterday:
On the positive side ...
My students' behavior started slipping yesterday. I had the whole class put their heads down and talked about how I know how respectful and responsible they can be. I talked for about a minute about all the great things they usually do to help us learn. When they lifted their heads, they were great again for the rest of the day!
And a struggle:
I'm really trying to plan earlier this year so that I don't spend my whole weekend planning. I posted earlier this week about my plan. I've been ok about following it so far. Then we had a grade level meeting today and I found out a BUNCH of changes for next week. Like, to the point that I might throw away the plan pages I started and start over. I'm really disappointed because I was ahead of things and it just turns out I wasted time making those plans. I know it won't happen every week, but it's really discouraging during my first week of trying to get ahead!
How far ahead do you get in planning? What do you do to deal with those changes?
