Anyone here have experience with schedules on a 20 day rotation? It’s my second year at a new very large elementary school.

Each week’s schedule is different for 4 weeks (20days) and then it starts all over again. 17 of those days I teach 6 or 7 classes and 3 of them I teach 5 classes. I’m terrified of this school year!

Would love to hear how others in this situation have dealt, especially with organization of schedule! I need to have the whole 20 day schedule visible somehow so I can plan

I cannot offer much help on a rotation that big; but I find an at a glance plan for the whole year is really useful in general. Mine is just set up in a Google sheet. One axis is grade levels the other is #classes per quarter. Then I combine cells as needed for lessons that will take more than one class period and just write the title/few descriptive words. It won't help with day to day organization but it is great when one class gets way ahead of what you expected at a glance and know what topics you planned to cover next. I print it out and tape it to the inside cover of my planner so I can cross things off as the year goes by.

I cheated... we aren’t supposed to do real art in the morning. We watch an art video and discuss in the morning, then in the afternoon we post an instructional video and the kids do a small project at home... I cheated yesterday. I handed out air dry clay and went to town with my 3rd grades.... the kids said it was the most fun art class ever. I will get in trouble for passing stuff out, but I needed it. So did the kids. Best art day all year!
