Question
Do you guys create actual completed lesson plans each week? I do not have to turn in lesson plans, but I've been doing an ok job so far of doing the lesson plans and filling everything in for the curriculum map that I've been creating (because there isn't one to speak of). However, I'm getting awfully tired of this and am thinking about just doing a quick summary in my curriculum map and calling it a day. (Karin, it is similar to yours -- an Excel spreadsheet with a bunch of columns for skills, standards, content, resources, etc. so it's not like I'm not keeping track of things.) Unless I have a sub, I think the 3 or 4 lines of content "reminders" are usually enough to keep me going. Is this bad and unethical as a teacher/librarian? Ugh.

We had to turn in lesson plans last year, but they were not "real" lesson plans - just an outline of what we were covering that week for each class / or grade level (essentially reminders), an "Aim" or "Objective", and standards. This year, to reduce redundancy, they've removed the standards part, and we just have to have them if asked / not turn in so it's pretty simple to fill out.
My Lesson plan for K this week:
Objective/Essential Question: "What is the Alphabet"
Learning Activities: Students will organize themselves in ABC order using letter cards. Review how to hold a book, what is an author, illustrator, etc.
Read: Chicka Chicka Boom Boom; Alphabet Rescue
