[quote=Anonymous]I just started my first elementary teaching job in September. I teach 5 different grade levels and I have 6 classes each day. I get a planning period 3 days per week. I work my butt off but sometimes I just feel like I am trying to keep my head above water. I don't have enough time to really get into a lesson b/c the periods are no more than 40ish mins each. I try to make each minute count but it is so hard planning for so many grade levels. I can't do too much long term lesson planning b/c I don't know how far I will get into a lesson each day. So I tend to plan day by day mostly after school b/c I have no daily dedicated planning time. I know it will get easier each year b/c I will be familiar with the curriculum by then. Any words of advice? [/quote]
