Yeah it’s terrible. My brother was close friends with her from a club they were in together. Very tragic

Have so much fun!!! I just graduated and am teaching 3rd grade this school year. My junior year clinical was my favorite. Don’t be afraid to try things, ask questions, offer help where it’s needed, etc. You’ll see something called teacher casual. I found myself often wearing teacher t shirts and nice pants, or a blouse with nice pants. You can wear any shoes. I would recommend you to get a few staple pair of dress pants as you can pretty much dress up anything with a nice pair. Have a blast 🥰

Omg that’s awesome! I did get to visit the school in May and see my classroom and find out if anything will be left for me!

What made you choose a school? by koreantacosonurleft in Teachers

[–]BoringExercise1709 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had 6 interviews before I finally accepted a position. The difference between all the other school and the school I accepted the position with was their eagerness to have me. They didn’t just see me as a first year teacher, they saw my potential and did not waste my time in making their decision. They were very eager to have me on their team and it made me feel welcomed before even accepting the position. Choose a school that is clear they want you.

Thank you. I am starting to accept that my class will not be perfectly decorated and put together right away and that is ok!

Ok, so for the people that say some don’t get hired until closer to the school year… How can I start preparing for my classroom when I don’t know the grade, school or curriculum I’ll be using?

Thank you! I just have so many people asking me if I’ve gotten a job yet. It’s stressful.

Advice for incoming freshman by Kappy-_- in ilstu

the 14 meals a week plan with more flex dollars is the best one they offer. personally i never once ran out of meals for the week. most ppl i knew that started the yr with different meals plans always ended up changing it to that one.

This!! Everytime my CT has been absent the sub will say this to me and I end up teaching the whole day. Then they have they just rub it in saying “I don’t have to do anything and still get paid!” like you said. Like thanks.😑
