In a Fast, Furious, Frenzy of Downsizing My Lesson Plans

I just checked my plan for the remainder of the year, and it's a little like trying to pack an elephant into a cocktail purse - it ain't gonna happen.

I have 2 1/2 weeks until the End of Course Test in Physical Science.  In that time, I have to include:

  • The elements
  • Organic compounds
  • Solutions
  • Chemical Reactions, and
  • Acids, bases, and salts
The kids are entering their slo-mo mode (summertime speed in the South, no hurryin').  Knowing the level of difficulty of the test, I'm feeling frantic (I'm obviously in an F mood).  I'm not expecting any answers, just feel like expressing my concern.

I just finished entering the interim grades, tonight I have to finish my last assignment for the online class I'm taking, and, when I've recovered from those, I have to have a nervous breakdown start modifying the plan.

I have experienced the "ain't gonna happen" mode as well especially at this time of year.

Good luck!

Thank you so much for visiting History Is Elementary and adding to the conversation.

Me too. Almost the same topics, too. Except I'm teaching Chemistry so my test is going to be HARDER! Ahhhhh.
