Lesson plans

Its nothing worst than having a well planned lesson plan on paper, but when it is time to implement it, the teacher lacks the materials that is needed to fullfill the lesson. Believe it or not I have seen it all. Teachers not being prepared and running to other first grade classrooms because she doesnt have enough rulers, or number grids for all her children. Not only it is a waste of instructional time for the students, but also for the teacher. That is time that cant be regained back. So I believe that a teacher can never be too prepared even all the way to counting out all the necessary materials needed to carry out the lesson.
