Laura Kebart here, and I love assigning one article a week on Mondays so I -- and my students -- always know what's happening at the beginning of each week. Tying up loose ends from the week on Friday PLUS trying to make sure everything is ready for Monday takes a LOT of time mental energy!
Now couple all THAT 👆with the desire to celebrate the incredible achievements of Americans alllll year long (not just on "awareness" days here and there) which means needing to get super organized and intentional with what's happening in class.
