Friday we finished up our Rocks and Minerals block. My busiest weekends are the ones when I am switching from one block to another. There’s a lot that goes into wrapping up the old block and preparing for the new one. I’ve found a nice little weekend rhythm for this work. Rhythm just makes everything easier. Here are my block switch weekend tasks:
Saturday (mostly at home)
- Write block summary
- Correct block tests
- Go through main lesson books and fill out main lesson book evaluation forms
- Prepare new block outline (if not done over the summer)
- Return/check out library books
- Prepare new content for new block (at least through first week and a half)
Sunday (mostly at school)
- New chalkboard drawing
- General tidying
- Prepare new artistic/movement work
- Get new main lesson books ready
- Do title page in main lesson book
- Write dictation
