I am joining in for some fun! How do I plan..for some of us this is such a ritual :) Outlined below is how I gear up for a new unit. I cozy up to a big table with my binder (calender, scope and sequence, pacing guide, ccss, meeting notes etc) notebook paper..favorite pencils pens and a great planner :) I am whole to part so I look at the big picture and break it into parts. I usually have my lit or math coach present (not at the same time). Computer is up and running so we can search TPT and all my favorite blog feeds that I have starred for future reference! Whats your ritual when it comes to planning? Amanda
