Don't mind me. This is just a note to myself.
Penmanship - get workbooks made for the children who need them, and work on a "letter family" each week. The younger kids need penmanship paper - don't forget that they're still pretty new at the whole, "writing" thing.
Writing workshop - back to basics: writing a good paragraph. Modeled writing and lots of identifying topic sentences and supporting sentences. Pick a subject - something from the cultural curriculum (yeah), and write paragraphs. Outlining is good, but good paragraphs make or break a piece. Practice, practice, practice.
Journal writing - 11:00? Clean up at 11:00, journal writing, tracking and outside? Clean up at 11:10? We don't really need a full blown cleanup in the morning, since we're not eating in the room, and we're going back to work time in the afternoon. We could just tidy up and then go to journaling. Make journals with penmanship paper for the younger kids.
School is going well. Take a breath and relax. You've got all the kids assessed in spelling and penmanship, and you're starting on RAZ. It takes a while, but you're doing just fine.
Breathe.
