[LM_NET] POST: In need of a sample special schedule

[Karen Wondergem <karenwondergem@HOTMAIL.COM>]

  This is my first post, I've been lurking for a while, sorry in advance
if I do something wrong. This is my first year as a media specialist. I
am considered a special area teacher and hold 42 classes in a 6 day
rotation (k-5). It is NOT working for me and I am trying to convince my
principal to move to a flex schedule next year. She is open, but has
given me the task of coming up with a special area schedule to get me
out of the rotation. She is adamant about the teachers having 1 prep per
day.

If you have a similar situation and would like to share you entire
school's special area schedule I would love the advice. We are going to
be k-6 next year, have about 35 total classes, and have 1 PE, 1 ART, 1
Computers, 1 Music. I would like to keep the library open or part flex
so I can work with the older kids doing research projects, right now I
see them once every six days for 35 minutes. It's a nutso schedule and I
can't get anything accomplished. Help?
