Feeling overwhelmed, stressed and possibly burnt out with all that you have to do?
The grading, the emails, the lesson planning, making copies, uploading material, etc.
It can all become too much and you feel like you are barely staying afloat. I get it!
What if I told you there was a way that you could get some of this done during class time?
Yes, I said DURING CLASS TIME. Did I catch your attention?!?!
One of the ways that I would catch up on grading, emails, lesson planning or other things I was able to do in my classroom is that I would give students independent work or projects to work on. Not only is this a change of pace for them but for you too! Students enjoyed it because when they work independently in my class they can listen to music. Funny how they work better when they listen to music. Something about it just calms them and helps them focus.
While they work on their assignment quietly, you can get things done to…WITHOUT feeling guilty!
So, if you feel yourself needing some extra time at work to get things done, give your students something to work independently. Not sure what to give them, check out my TpT Store with some great projects and resources to use!
As always, I hope that you have found this information useful and helpful to you!
Merci,
