[LM_NET] TARGET: How to break down 55 minute classes in Elementary

[Dianne Kersteter <dkersteter@VISI.COM>]

Hello!

I'm a relatively new media specialist who has just been hired as a  
media specialist at two different elementary schools in Minneapolis.   
The classes are to be 55 minutes long, which is almost twice as long  
as classes I've taught in the past.  I can see the longer classes  
being an advantage in the upper grades, but I'm not so sure about  
K-3.  Has anyone had experience teaching longer classes at the  
elementary level?  If so, how did you work that out?

Thank you for any wisdom you can impart!
