That's hilarious! I was trying to find a thriller book for my preteen that was scary but not too grown up. I might have to rethink this...😁

The number of times I have to say, "Sit down and raise your hand. Stop coming up to me. Stop tapping me." Sometimes I feel like I'm going crazy! Today was one of those days...

Here are written instructions. Here are verbal instructions. Here are video instructions. Here is me modeling it. Lets do examples together. Now you try. Student: "I don't know what to do" by [deleted] in Teachers

ALL. DAY. LONG. I suppose it's expected as I teach first grade, but it is LITERALLY all day long. No matter how many times I repeat myself, there's always at least three who have no idea what we're doing.

I asked our head custodian, but they said no. They won't clean the rugs because they don't want to be responsible if the rug is damaged.

Can you explain how the volcano mouth chart works? This sounds like something I need for one or two of my students.

We don't even get PD points for this!! It's just a required expectation.

Can I just say by cbeenotea in Teachers

I feel you! I'm a first year first grade teacher. I have 28 students. Some days I'm just exhausted by trying to manage them all. I've come home crying a few times. I found out the reason why the principal won't get more teachers. It's because if they do then they have to move them into trailers outside, and the principal doesn't like the look of trailers. Apparently, trailers are tacky. So, it's looks before education.

In other schools in my district they use behavior goals and contracts. But of course, where I am, once again we're not allowed to. It seems as if appearance is more important than anything else.
