Scheduling Ideas

[catcompton]

Hi Everyone!

Its time to start looking at a new schedule for my school and they are letting the special area teachers put it together. We currently have an alternating PE and Music with PE either Mon/Wed or Tues/Thurs with alterating fridays. PE and music classes are 40 mins long. We have thrown around ideas of 30 mins of PE 4-5 days a week but the killer is what the classroom teachers are pushing for with is PE and music 50 mins 2 days a week. I have done this schedule and would prefer to stay away from it.

Any ideas or suggested would be appreciated.

Thanks
Cathi

I'm not sure if this is what you're asking, but....... I would let the classroom teachers know that the goal is to get the kids moving as many days as possible, and by cutting it to only 2 days per week, you're actually having them move fewer days/week. I like the idea of 30 min. of PE 4-5 times per week, it you can get that schedule to work. Like I said, I'm not sure if this is what you were looking for, but just my 2 cents! :)
