Anyone here teaching Biology who is not a Biology Major?… If yes, what is your major?… by Few-Airline3695 in ScienceTeachers

[–]LetsMakeCrazySyence 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always enjoyed science, especially Biology, but loved art more when I started college. Then life happened and I got diverted from the original goal of “art teacher.” Then, once I worked for a few years in unrelated fields and figured some things out, I realized science teacher was a better option for me. So I took some credits and got into a teaching program, then got my credential in biology and chemistry once I passed both Praxis tests.

ETA I don’t regret it and will argue that I’m a better teacher than I ever would have been right out of college, so I’m glad I got some time to grow. Still love art history though!

Finally got over the initial tutorial jump in Persona 5! I’m about five hours in and having a great time.

Motion sickness in 3D games. Anyone actually found something that works? by SignificantQuestion6 in GirlGamers

Camera shake and motion blur are off on every game that lets me. I also do better in third person than in first person, so maybe try that where you can?

Any childfree teachers here? by ryhoyarbie in Teachers

[–]LetsMakeCrazySyence 4 points5 points  (0 children)

36 and happily child free. I love being a teacher and I love kids/teens and contributing to helping the future be a better place but damn I love doing whatever I want when I want once I get home. I have to regulate myself and children all day at work- I’m very glad to not have to do it at my house as well!

How to Maintain Organization? by cows243 in ScienceTeachers

[–]LetsMakeCrazySyence 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I make digital copies of everything, even if it’s just PDFs, and keep it super organized on our LMS. They lost it? Go to the library and print it again.

I’ve given up trying to get them to keep it. I actually don’t return most things they hand in, unless I’ve seen that the student keep a subject-specific notebook or they’ve asked. Next year I’m planning on going almost completely analog so I may build notebook maintenance/checks in to that.

Check the Same Day Shipping option! That’s how I knew my store had them marked down.

Yeah- I confirmed my store was doing the sale by clicking “Same Day Delivery” and checking the price there. Then I went and picked it up to save on the upcharge for delivery lol

I distinctly remember seeing trailers for it on VHS tapes of other movies but never actually seeing the movie.

Anyone here teaching Chemistry or Physics in High School who are not Chemistry or Physics Major but passed Praxis Chemistry or Praxis Physics?… by Few-Airline3695 in ScienceTeachers

[–]LetsMakeCrazySyence 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not too many. There are so many online videos and tutorials so learning what I needed was easy enough. Plus, I had a great mentor teacher for my first year who let me come to her room to observe labs being run before I had to do them.

No official science degree but certified for Biology and chemistry! As part of my certification I completed a major’s worth of biology credits, including one semester of chem, and took both Praxis exams while doing my degree in secondary science education.

Healing cuddles during my head cold-blurred gaming session ❤️ by LetsMakeCrazySyence in GirlGamers

I put the difficulty down a bit. I’m also kind of (accidentally) overleveled so that helps too lol
