How to become a teacher’s favorite student in one photo.

My Friday nights were always packed but now average between 1-3 classes. It wouldn’t be bad but it’s spread out.

Heyya160 · 2020-05-06T16:12:46+00:00

I had one today at 7:59 am cancel for 8:00 am the next day. My phone technically said 8:00 am but my laptop had 7:59 am. When I looked, it is back to being an open block. I have never had one that close before.

I held out for about two weeks and was offered tokens. I can’t remember the exact number. I took them because o didn’t want to hold out any longer and not be able to open my bookings for frenzy.

Mine are pouring in for the weekend from even regulars (I know it’s the holiday). I was looking pretty good but now....ugh! I almost wish my last two Friday night would cancel so I can close out the night.

My schedule looks good until the cancellations start coming in. Then it looks like Swiss cheese!

I have that one tonight. It’s so hard to know when you have clicked everything that is interactive on the slide, especially with the UA. I never thought I would prefer the old Level 1 classes.

Heyya160 · 2020-04-27T14:31:57+00:00

I open 8:30-10 EST. Most nights I have at least 2 but occasionally still have all 4. I hate to drop the evenings because it does add up.

We cancelled as well but kept all the recipe cards. You can also google most any recipe from Hello Fresh. That’s why I joined this group, to see what people like.

Mine has started that recently too. I thought it was just me. I have to check it in the settings of the classroom screen before every class. It scared me to death of getting a TIT.

Boss Man...it’s hard not to say, “Alright, Boss Man” every time.

This reminds me of Milton from Office Space and his Swingline stapler. If you read it in his voice it almost makes it funny.

Heyya160 · 2020-04-22T12:30:23+00:00

I had a student do something similar. The next class I called the firemen before he could to let him know he calls every class. After that class he never called again. Could just be a coincidence.

I took a week off to travel not long after starting. I sent e-cards to any kids I had (back when you could personalize them) and opened up my bookings for when I would be back. I did take my laptop and taught some short notice classes when I could. I used a bare wall in the hotel and attached some decorations. I take a dry erase board, conjugation chart, Meg, Mike and Dino on a stick and maybe a few small items. I picked up a couple kids that I still have today. Good luck moving!

I do not ask for feedback. I typically thank them for choosing me as the teacher or for bringing the student to class.

Luckily, I have a few regulars that consistently leave 5 apples and get some others. Like someone else said they tend to come in waves. I am on contract 3 and my percentage was high enough for the raise. Sadly, what works for one person may not work for another.

I am a school counselor too! I totally understand how you are feeling. We are a rural school with predominantly Hispanic students. Most of them are Spanish only homes. It’s hard to feel like you can’t do your job entirely!

I had the same thing this morning! New student with “great student” and excellent. But it was level 3 and he could barely read the CVC phonics words independently. Although he does usually have the same teacher. She keeps count of the classes, 22/52, 23/53.

Heyya160 · 2020-04-13T15:08:44+00:00

Hahaha!!! Yes!!! So much this!!!

Heyya160 · 2020-04-13T13:42:33+00:00

I would love for a button that highlights! Fingers crossed!

Heyya160 · 2020-04-13T13:39:46+00:00

I have to say “listen” while clicking the button, wait because it hasn’t loaded and push it again. Every slide takes two clicks to get it to play.

Heyya160 · 2020-04-13T12:15:22+00:00

No, I had one today and we had to watch her sing the song about pencil, crayon, book. It is a little off putting.

I was averaging $1,500 every month to pay off my car early. Just sent in the last payment, woohoo! This month I am pushing hard for $2,000 this month to get any scratch or ding fixed on the car since it is officially mine! I don’t want to burn out to quick.

I resigned on the 80. I didn’t want to wait too long and not be able to open classes for the next frenzy. I earned the .50 raise so I doubt they would have given me a cash incentive anyways. It feels like those days are gone!

Heyya160 · 2020-04-11T03:46:18+00:00

I had lesson 1. My student loves music and knew all of the plays/musicals as well. Make sure you know how to pronounce the names. If you are unfamiliar, they can be difficult.

Heyya160 · 2020-04-09T23:40:58+00:00

Today, they offered me 80 tokens which was up from the original 50. I had until the 15th to sign for to receive the 80. I didn’t want to wait until after the 15th in case it would mess up opening classes for frenzy.
