I start my school year planning the spring before the next school year starts. Usually around April, I start evaluating what we have gotten done and what we are likely to finish before our summer break. Although, I usually have a pretty good idea what our school year will entail, I don’t always figure out how practically I can put a schedule together. In July, I start putting together a daily schedule. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
