Classroom schedule

I have noticed that as teachers we are not given a class schedule we make our own. I feel so scared and lost because college did not prepare me as well as I though it would. Any valuable online resources or someone willing to help a newbie teacher out!?

(For instance, 300 minutes a week for math, 890 minutes a week for language arts, 60 minutes a week for Science, etc.)

Then figure out when school starts, recess break, lunch break, and any special classes your students will go to with another teacher (PE? Art? Library time? Computer? Music?)

Then use a grid chart that has each day mapped out across the top and the 15 minute or half hour time intervals on the side and plan out when you want the allotted times done during the week.

My recommendation is to put Math and Language arts in the morning before lunch, or before recess, when kids are alert. Put secondary subjects like social Studies and Science in the afternoon.

Your special classes times might be given to you and you may not have any control over that.

Hope this helps!
