Flacka Thank you for asking (not demanding) help and for writing a request that in complete sentences and grammatically correct. You have no idea how rare this is.

As for your request - your best bet is to talk to a teacher face to face because you can ask follow up questions, pick up on his/her tone, etc. If you go back to your own elementary sc...See More

by Kat_Kong

Nov 13, 2016

We aren't allowed another recess (besides lunch-recess from 11:00-11:45. By the afternoon (especially 2:00-3:30) the kids are simply nuts. I am contemplating a 'break' or 'relaxation time' in the afternoon for 10 minutes ...See More

Amy K My kids eat lunch from 10:50 - 11:20 and our dismissal is at 3:00, so I know all about long afternoons with kinders. I have always had my play centers at the end of the day. This year, due to schedule changes I had to move the play time to earlier in the afternoon. I was so against this, but I actually love it! I wish I would have done this years a...See More

by men

Nov 11, 2016

Had the morning off so ran off to take a cycling class at the gym. The instructor had to leave a couple minutes earlier so she worked us extra hard. I made it to 14 miles which is what I usually do in this particular instructor's class. She does a lot of standing up and "running" on the pedals with a lot of resistance. The other instructo...See More

Flacka Classroom management is one of the most important skills for a teacher and it's something that the colleges don't address. Talk to your mentor about your concerns and if you don't have a mentor, find someone you think will be helpful and supportive.

It takes 3+ years to get the management under control and it's going to be a work in progre...See More

I have to buy all that stuff out of my own pocket, or (what's more normal for me) ask parents for donations.

Sight Words

Hi! I was wondering if someone could point me in a direction of something, app or powerpoint to show my children flashcards of our sight words. Basically, I want to do a daily review. So I was going to put each word on a powerpoint slide that would play with three seconds. Simple, but then it would be the same order everyday unless I manually switc...See More

Years ago, I had a recipe book with directions for individual students to follow and create their own snack... Any information out there as to where I might find this kind of collection of easily followed recipes? Thanks!
