  • 7:00 - I eat breakfast and pack lunch
  • 7:20 - Leave the house and head to school
  • 7:30 - Bell rings and I monitor the halls until 7:45
  • 7:45 - Planning starts. I'm usually getting supplies ready for classes depending on the project. If we are painting or doing collage I make sure to prepare supplies at the end of the previous day.
