Though, I guess with new stuff (and new students, I imagine) it's pretty natural. <BR/><BR/>Also, I totally want to talk to you about Math stuff. One day.

I have found that even when I plan just 4 days ahead -- say, for example 4 days of reading instruction -- what happens on Monday may drastically change my plan for Tuesday. (Especially in a new grade level, where I anticipate fewer of the difficulties and strengths of my class). So while it's good to have a general plan for the next week or so, flexibility and responsiveness are key.Heidi Fessendenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14231730070389379181noreply@blogger.com
