We usually have a working snack. They eat lunch at 11:30, but are at school until 3:30, so we usually have snack just before 2:00. They really...
Probably. I remember having workbooks in school and we were never allowed to write in them. The only time I've seen students write in workbooks...
That's disappointing. I've actually had really good luck with Scholastic over the last few years when it comes to leveling books for my library.
We seem to have IEP and 504 meetings every year during the first two weeks of school. It's always really difficult to provide information for...
Personally, I think smart boards are a much better way to spend money than workbooks. Not one grade in my school (k-8) uses workbooks for any...
The requirements will depend on your state, but I think in most places, as long as you have a degree, you'll probably just need to pass the...
It is weird if she's asking them to do it, but my first thought is that it's something one of the kids started doing and the others followed suit.
Sunbutter is like peanut butter made from sunflower seeds. I've never used the Crisco myself, but I've heard of teachers doing that with kids...
Yay! I hope you continue to feel that way! :) I had an amazing group in my homeroom last year and my group this year seems like a lot of fun too.
Sunbutter or shortening (Crisco).
The office phones are the only ones that we can use for long distance calls too and the secretary dials for us, but then hands us the phone. It's...
I worked in a private school during the 2006-2007 school year and made $10.40/hour for 30 hours a week with no benefits. I made roughly $13k that...
How awful. We've had a few teachers like that at my school over the last few years, but luckily, none of them were on my team. I would be really...
No, I don't think it's a bad move. Explain it to your principal exactly the way you explained it here. You have too much on your plate right now...
I completely agree with this. I also think it depends on what your school has given you as far as the curriculum. For example, my first year...
In my experience, the majority of school don't send out a report card with much more than a brief comment in addition to the grades. Since the...
I think it's totally fine as long as it's nothing obscene. I don't think I have any coworkers that have lots of tatoos, but one of my coworkers...
It's not always about being "tough enough not to show emotion" though. At least with my students, they don't cry when I reprimand them because...
I bring my gym clothes with me to work and try to go straight to the gym after work Mon-Thurs. Sometimes it's hard, but I do my best to get there...
I doubt they enforce it because, really, there isn't any way for them to do so. Using a nickname is a good idea if you want to make it even more...
