i teach in catholic school cuz im not certified yet either. im going to school in january to start the process. 30 mins is pretty short. mine are 50 and thats too long i thing 35-40 is ideal. i was in a schoolonce where that was the set up.
hopefully next year they'll let me move down to 4th grade again!
PS Thanks BSAMS its really hard and we're so under paid and walked all over by parents who think we're babysitters and have to do what they say. Parents honsetly forget that my job is work!
