time management
By Colleen

If you stay in the same school and the same grade level your work will get easier each year. I still do lots of work but I feel I can be a creative teacher now that I have worked out all the kinks.
I take my
school work with me when my kids have sports practices or music lessons. I do a lot of school work on a lawn chair, in the car or on bleachers. I take my last years lesson plan book to help plan the next week's lessons. I also save stuff kids can't correct to correct at that time.
I also let my kids correct things when ever they can. Immediate feedback is very benificial. Not

all marked work goes into my grade book. I only count tests, quizes, stories and special projects and assignments. I do not count homework or practice work we do in school. They get marked but are not included in my grade book.
I make use of days off from school to do school stuff too. Even in the summer I take little projects home to work on. My desk, files etc.get messy during the year so I just throw all the junk in a box and organize when I get bored at home.
