A lot of people have asked what my daily schedule looks like, so here's a little peek at how things run in my class. There's a lot to do each day and a couple changes to my scheduling helped me make the most of the time I do have.

Email after email, I hear “How do you do word work? I want to expose my students to lots of different words but that’s a lot of prep. I do want to spend hours each week trading out words!” To this, I say – “PREACH!” So, I’m stopping by with a picture-heavy post all about...
