TGIF's Schedule Linky!

Sweet Susan from TGIF is having a fun linky to share your daily schedule!

I am always AMAZED at how different schedules can be from school to school and state to state!!  I've read about people having more than one recess in the day- wow!  I also know teachers who don't have duty free lunch or who have to teach Specials themselves; it's just amazing how different everything is!! 

We get duty free lunch, but we take our kids to recess and stay with them the whole time.  It's actually a nice break to be outside, so I don't mind it at all.  We also get Specials every day and that is when our planning period takes place.  The lower elementary classes go to PE three times a week, and Music and Art once a week.  At our school, the 3rd-5th grades add Technology into their Specials rotation.

We have Library once a week, 30 minutes during a story and check out week and 15 minutes when it's just a check out week.  We also go to Technology every other week for 30 minutes.

We have a few extra duties- morning duty, dismissal duty and tutoring duty.  They are all on a rotational basis.  If it's my morning duty week, I have to monitor the PK-1st students in the cafeteria for the week, starting at 7:10.  It's only about 7 times a year, but I don't really like being out of my room for those minutes before class starts.  I like to take that time to check email or get ready for the day.  We rotate between dismissal duty and tutoring duty, as well.  Dismissal duty is just being outside with the pick-ups until 3:05 or so and tutoring duty is monitoring the older kids until they start their tutoring groups at 3:30.

Here's my schedule for this year-

I've only re-arranged it three times so far this year, but this way seems to be working the best for now.

I would love to hear about your schedule!!  Do you have more than one recess a day?  Do you have to teach your own Specials?  Leave me a comment and fill me in!!
