Just saw this. Hope it's yours SOON!
Wowzas!! That's bad. So glad you're getting out & moving on to better things! It sounds like the daily subbing will be steady even without...
I know books are super important, but I'd caution you not to go out and buy a ton of them until you know what your school will be providing. I...
I have a student who is very low, and I mentioned to our school's math coach today how I was hoping to get some K stuff for this student to work...
When I'm first introducing time, I do just go through what the hands mean and we practice a lot of times to the hour. I am fortunate enough to...
Why would you make a brochure just to pass it out on flash drives?? That makes no sense to me. Plus, at $7 a pop, that is crazy expensive....
Tek, I don't think you are bad for feeling that way. There are kids who know how to push buttons, who have ADD/ODD/etc. and are not receiving...
Your list sounds a lot like mine did at the end of my first year (last year)! The good news is I really worked to improve them this year, and it...
YES. Also, I can't help but wonder why the wife isn't the one on the forum? It seems odd that the husband is the only one that can do the...

I have a pretty high academic group this year, and I've really spent a lot of time extending and enriching skills. My "lowest" kids were below...
I'd only pull the high group once a week, if in fact they are actually "high". If they are the highest group but still only on grade level, than...
I might even suggest volunteering in classrooms first, before subbing. That way, you can observe current teachers and pick up some new skills...
I like the idea of emailing, but I agree that it should just be kept short. Explain that you'll be teaching a demo lesson and wondered what they...
I would keep your night job as long as it's not affecting your teaching. If your fiance's job becomes permanent and you could get benefits from...
Hi all, Another question about email addresses made me think of this... my brother's name is very common (first and last), and so when he was...
We have one of those systems at our school, and it's the secretary that buzzes people in. If they ask why you're there, I'd just say you're...
Hello from a fellow (former) Michigander! Michigan is a TIGHT market, so it's good to hear that you're willing to move for a job. I was in the...
