So I thought I would blog about how much planning is going into this school year. I (again) am putting all of the work in it's folder by week. So I have a file box for Shelby that has 36 weeks of files in it. Each week has all her work for the week in it. I have the files for Matthew but need to get another file box. His does not have as much work as hers. I then have a bookshelf with all of my teacher books for the year and our reference/reader books. Each child has a milk crate with their binders, folder, pencil box, dry erase board etc. We then have another book shelf full of future subjects, books and free reading books.
This file box is getting out of hand! Last year I had it but did not go this detailed since it was Kinder and only one child. I have been ripping apart books and making copies of worksheets, lab sheets (all reproducible material) and e-book worksheets for a week. I also have a planner on the computer that is done week by week to keep me on track and to help me not OVER PLAN (I like to do this). Right now I have 9 weeks completed on the computer (minus Spanish). I have the other weeks down but not all in one place on the computer. So I have been busy copying and pasting stuff together. I also have been making a list of books I will need to get at the library for each week, materials I will need to buy for each week and books I need to buy (because the library does not have them).
All this planning is making my back hurt and arms sore. I am SOOOO ready for school to just start. I hope it all pays off in the end. My plan is to keep us on track and going through the year. I have breaks scheduled in that we can take if we are on track. If not we will just stick with it and catch up.
