does anyone do less than 60, and if so, what do you manage to get done?

I do, but I teach Kindy. I have morning classes of 20 mins then afternoon classes of 30 mins. It has taken a while to get myself accustomed to the short time span and to be able to plan out and gauge how long I have or would want on each activity. While they are still very young and shouldnt really have to sit in a classroom for a long time, I wish I had a little longer with the 30 minute classes as the kids are smart and can learn a lot but with all the faffing that goes on at the lesson start, I do usually end up with only 20 minutes teaching time.
