NYC elem teachers Help!

Hello,

I am a new 4th grade teacher. How does scheduling work?

8:30-10:10- Readers Workshop
10:10-11:00 Special
11:00-12:00 Math
12-1250 Lunch
1-150
150-2:30
One more period is Lab science

Is writers workshop also 100 minutes? We need to have writer's workshop 3x a week. There goes 1-2:30 three times a week. I am left with 3 periods a week for SS, Sci, Handwriting ect.

Should all SS and Science be done in Reader's Workshop?

How often in handwriting done?

Thanks so much for any help

Re: NYC elem teachers Help!

Why not do writer's workshop once a day for a shorter period of time and then do Social Studies and Science after? My biggest mistake when I was a new teacher, was scheduling. In my expereince fourth graders cannot write for a very long period of time everyday.
You may incorporate some social studies and science in your reader's workshop at different points of the year. Good lUck and have a great school year!

This is how my 4th grade goes:

8:20-8:35-ELA
8:35-9:20-ELA
9:20-10:05-Math
10:10-10:55-ELA
11:05-11:50-Math
12:00-12:50-Lunch
12:55-1:40-Science(which is a prep)
1:45-2:30-Social Studies

That will be a typical day with preps moved around

I have to do 2 guided reading groups a day as well as shared reading and 30 min. independent reading each day.

we have Science 4x a week....SS is 3x a week...handwriting is throughout
