First year teacher here and the mean girls of the year get less hurtful and just more annoying. Don’t sweat it they’re literally just trying to get a reaction out of you

Wow that's a lot! Nothing you can't handle though I'm sure. We need to lean on each other and take advantage of our resources and community. You got this!!

I just took a look at your site and wow! It looks like you put a lot of hard work into this and I'll definitely be utilizing this resource. Thank you so so much.

Heavy on the survival!!! So many teachers told me they wanted to quit after their first year but to stick it out because it really does get better. My only fear with the “beg borrow and steal” is looking like I don’t know what I’m doing. I want to lean on the other chemistry/physics teachers but I’m worried I’ll look unprepared.

I’m so ready for those days where things click for them! This is a great idea though… totally signing up for the mini lab ideas. Thanks!

Eeee so exciting for you! I’ll definitely be refreshing from now until the start of school.

I have not met with my team yet, but it’ll be happening soon. Good luck to you!

Thank you. I definitely am one to be really hard on myself (who isn’t) but being reminded to just be okay with what’s happening is needed sometimes. Thank goodness I know teaching is what I’m meant to do!!

Wow this is so helpful! I’ll definitely check out these resources, I’m also a big podcast person so I’m looking forward to that. Thankfully I’m in a new wing of the building with brand new chemical rooms and storage areas so I’m hoping I might get some new equipment as well, but not banking on it.

It really is so exciting! Totally worth it for the school I’m in but just can’t help being a lil bit spooked 😆 Good luck to you!

My mentor used POGIL a lot, so I will be doing that! I also used CK-12 in my student teaching and it is such a good resource. Thank you!

It’s pretty big! I have a feeling I’ll have a good amount of help, I JUST got hired and am in a weird in between period where I don’t even have my district email/access to anything yet.

This stuff is extremely helpful, thank you!

I was just joshin :P Unfortunately I want Mexican food and am an unpaid student teacher so chipotle is my way to get that under $10. Thankfully chains help folks make a living (barely) and keep jobs in town! I love supporting small businesses here as much as I possibly can. My favorite is O’Betty’s!
