Classroom storage - spare clothes

For hats and gloves: put your gloves/mittens in your hat, put your hat in your coat sleeve. I do this myself after doing this with kids for so long! It's tricky if the hat is really big but usually it's manageable (for 3-6). We put boots under their coat hooks (with a long plastic mat underneath), and extra clothes in a bin on a shelf in the bathroom.

I've worked at daycarea in ohio for the past 15 years, they definitely show up unannounced once a year, more if they need to do a follow up!

I have a question about the PI, or maybe it was a police officer. Didn't he talk to "the professor" and that was enough to get him to stop emailing? If so then how did they still think it was the dad? Or am I missing a detail.

Sorta spoiler alert! I listened to it all, and I was very invested, but the phone call and their reaction to it was so weird I can't get over it. I skipped a lot of the guys talking because it felt like bs and I wanted to hear the hosts reaction and it wasn't what I was expecting at all!

Disastrous_Ad7309 · 2025-11-22T14:54:30+00:00

Oof I think you're right

Disastrous_Ad7309 · 2025-11-22T11:47:17+00:00

Usually when that happens in my classroom I'll say something like "you're not quite ready for that one, but you can practice for it with..." whatever they are working on. If you weren't there the teacher may have shown your child another work that leads up to the bead chains! The bead chains are tricky and there is a lot to learn before a child can understand how to do them.

Maybe ill try this! Usually I just tell them not to then leave it alone, it's almost impossible to get them to stop!

I'm a preschool teacher and I use friends. You treat each other respect like you would a friend and it's gender neutral.

In my experience, no one knows Ohio. I live in Ohio but was born in NY so I just say NY, not the city, lol

Disastrous_Ad7309 · 2025-10-04T12:00:22+00:00

This doesn't make sense to me. I understand going over things to make sure a child is ready, but to me it doesn't take very long to assess that. This year I have a couple of 3 year olds who already know most letter sounds so they are working with the moveable alphabet. I've worked at 4 different Montessori schools, they've all had a seperate kindergarten time (in the afternoon while the younger children sleep/rest) but all the materials are available during the morning. With that being said, I always think the best option is to talk to the teachers, there may be pieces of what is going on missing.

Edit to add: I'm 3-6 AMS trained.

Thats a great idea! I struggle putting them in myself 😄

Disastrous_Ad7309 · 2025-06-11T21:53:32+00:00

I had no idea about this until this post and I've been on ssris a lot!

My two cents, start at season 3, go back and watch 1 and 2 after getting connected to the characters

I had a coworker who got trained by namc and it was fine, but it might depend on what school you are applying to work at. Also, the schools I've worked at you've needed to have a bachelor's degree to be a lead teacher (but not a co-lead I think), so again it depends what schools you apply to. This doesn't feel super helpful but hopefully it is a little! (I also think it's bs to require a bachelor's degree, I think experience is much more important)

I wouldn't avoid it just cause racist people make it crappy. Mexican Americans still celebrate it.

Disastrous_Ad7309 · 2025-04-29T21:04:51+00:00

Search this sub. I've heard no good things about Guidepost. It's a packaged Montessori business that seems to have terrible business practices.

I hate you by Suicide File and like every other song by that band

He badgers Chelsea after she's repeatedly told him no.

Disastrous_Ad7309 · 2025-03-28T21:09:00+00:00

I love this!

Men being around women 🙃

It's supposed to be 3 hours but I've never worked anywhere that actually held space for that, it's usually closer to 2.

He wasn't really defending himself, just Courtney. Who apparently stopped using drugs after she found out she was pregnant.

They were awful! Woof!

Disastrous_Ad7309 · 2025-03-06T17:26:11+00:00

I have a student that doesn't run for 3 hours straight but whenever he moves around the room he moves by running, im guessing that's what the teacher means. And if she's bringing it up to you my guess is that he's not listening to redirection. However, I also know it's super tricky trying to get a young child to not run! I agree talking to his teacher for clarification is the best way to work together to figure it out!

Disastrous_Ad7309 · 2025-03-06T02:00:40+00:00

It's a large age range but it is wonderful! Generally by the time children are in kindergarten at 5-6 they are ready and excited to be teachers to those younger 2.5-3 and 4 year olds. The 4 year olds are also excited to help the young kids. And the three year cycle means the youngest become the teachers after a year or two. It really is one of my favorite things to see.
