It is done on the computer and all students participate. Our first intervention time is first thing in the morning. After students have written their homework in their planners, they are off to complete their first intervention time for the day. Although this is a busy time, it is one of my favorites. This is also the time that I am talking with my students about their weekend, games, recitals, and practices.

I work around the room to check planners for parent signatures. When my kiddos come in, they put away their backpacks and copy their homework into their planners. I greet my kiddos at the door and say good morning to each student as they enter. Unfortunately, my three-year-old doesn’t seem to care about valuable morning planning…. Like finish your make up, or set up for centers. You can do a lot in 6 minutes I’ve realized. Most mornings, you’ll find me running around like a crazy women in the morning getting ready for the day at 7:36… being at school RIGHT at 7:30 is so not my style…but this dedication to being “fashionably late” is really just punishment for me. So here’s a peek at how I arrange my schedule in second grade to maximize learning, but leave room for some of the fun stuff too! Morning Planning: 7:30-7:55 There is always a balance between learning and time management.

Not all time frames are set in stone and some days I find that I am only able to get through half of what I planned to complete.

I have very limited control over my math, reading, and science times. You are expected to follow this schedule and adhere to it with fidelity. This means the school forms a committee or assigns an administrator to design the schedules for the entire school.

I work for a district that requires schools to have a “Master Schedule”.It doesn’t mean I endorse them or think they are the best for my kiddos, it means that by law (educational law anyway… ) I have to do these programs to better my students. The majority of the students are on “Free or Reduced Lunch.” It also means that I am mandated by the state and my district to do certain routines, activities, or programs. So here’s a peek at how I arrange my schedule in second grade to maximize learning, but leave room for some of the fun stuff too!Ī couple of things to consider about my schedule… Some days I do, some days I don’t, but every day I try. A day in second grade can be busy, full of laughs, and of course TONS of learning, but if you’re new to the grade level, thinking about fitting in ALL those standards while keeping your kiddos engaged seems daunting! I get asked all the time…Īnd the answer to the question is really not an amazing prepared answer.
