Oops! Here's what I've prepared...
By Mel

Hi all!

In addition to the great ideas listed above, I have also created a general dayplan for myself also. This dayplan can be applied to all grade levels. I keep to the schedule, but just substitute different activities/worksheets
depending on the grade.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
MORNING
- attendance
- introduce myself
- give my two expectations: Be respectful and work hard!
- have a few minutes of quiet reading time, chores, administrivia, etc.
PERIOD ONE
- Math
- Language Arts
RECESS
PERIOD TWO
- Art or P.E.
LUNCH
PERIOD THREE
- play calming

music for ~5 mins
- Silent Reading/Teacher Read-Aloud

PERIOD FOUR
- Science/Socials

CLEAN UP
- fill in planners
- clean up desks and room

* Any extra time for good behaviour can be filled in w/ a short game (e.g. 7 UP)
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I pop this general dayplan in the front of my binder of materials. Behind it is materials for the following grade level groups: K-1, 2-3, 4-5, and 6-7. I've got materials for each part of the dayplan for each grade level.

In addition to this, I've also got a box of materials (activity books, extra art materials, storybooks, sneakers (in case of PE), bell and whistle) that I keep in the trunk of my car, in case I need more stuff.

I'd love to hear what you all think! Is it a little too much?? Overkill?? : ) I find it helps to put my mind at ease... it's saved my butt once already, as I was left w/ absolutely nothing one day!

Bye!
