I always plan out an entire chapter or unit at a time, but since I don't know what will or won't work, it will be good to just plan a week or two weeks at a time

Also, I learned that you should look back at what else you used to not have time to do and add that piece into your day. elmaure https://padlet.com/msdahlgren/eh0qlppoi74u/wish/232186172 2018-02-15 22:55:38 UTC https://padlet.com/msdahlgren/eh0qlppoi74u/wish/232186172 Be flexible; try new things and don be afraid to fail. https://padlet.com/msdahlgren/eh0qlppoi74u/wish/232186174 2018-02-15 22:55:38 UTC https://padlet.com/msdahlgren/eh0qlppoi74u/wish/232186174 https://padlet.com/msdahlgren/eh0qlppoi74u/wish/232186198 Keep it in chunks, nothing long winded

I think this will be particularly good for 7th grade/middle school students!
