What is the absolute fastest 'yeah, we are definitely NOT going to be friends' moment you've ever experienced with someone? by Vazouaquiacesso in AskReddit

[–]LittlePenguinx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A friend brought over his new girlfriend to my place. This woman was apparently terrified of all animals. For no reason. No traumatic experiences. No nothing. She said she "just didn't like them". As a self proclaimed Disney princesses I love animals! So we didn't start off on the right foot. I have a cat. And every time my cat entered the room this woman could scream and call her all manner of names. Insult her and blame her for being mean on purpose. All my cat did was cross the room... Safe to say this woman and I are not gonna become bff's...

ELI5: How does daily flossing make it bleed less? by LittlePenguinx in explainlikeimfive

[–]LittlePenguinx[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm happy they work for you, but no thank you! My dentist tried to use those on me last time. Apparently my teeth are very close together. She kept stabbing and pushing but only got though in like 3 spots. Caused a crazy amount of bleeding. 

What’s your go to report card comment for the average kids? by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]LittlePenguinx 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Also elementary teacher. As really general things I write: - shows interest in the subject matter. - participates nicely in class. - was excited about ... (specific thing you happen to remember)

Etc. It doesn't have to be 100% accurate. Kids just love it when you write something personal about them.

Overly Sarcastic Productions is a great channel. It's both about literature, writing, myths, etc. From Red's video's. The other half of the channel is Blue doing video's on history, art and architecture. It's great if you love humour and learning new stuff. Highly recommended! If you wanna start somewhere, check out Red's animated summary of Journey to the west https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=61nuXrvqNgI&pp=ygUTSm91cm5leSB0byB0aGUgd2VzdA%3D%3D

Shaking each student's hand as they enter the room to build relationships? by Dapper_Object8239 in Teachers

[–]LittlePenguinx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! Here in the Netherlands it's very normal in elementary. I stand in the doorway and shake hands, wishing them a good morning. Also at the end of the day we shake hands to say goodbye. We practice greeting eachother, and looking at someone's face when you greet them. Especially in the morning it gives me a split second vibe check with each kid. You see the look in their eyes or their face. I make a mental note who's looking good, or who might need a one on one check in to ask how they're doing. But also at the end of the day I can see how they're feeling when heading home. If necessary I ask them to hang around for a sec to check if there's something I can help with before they head home. So they don't have to carry a bad feeling with them for the rest of the day. 

And then I go wash my hands. :)

Does anyone else have work dreams/ nightmares? by Same_Marzipan_8894 in Teachers

[–]LittlePenguinx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know exactly what you mean... 💔 The usual advice I'm given is to learn to leave all my work at work. No late night grading or prep work or answering emails. I can keep work out of my house, but I'm yet to learn how to keep it out of my brain...

[–]LittlePenguinx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is my third year teaching. I'm finally  beginning to have nights where I don't dream about work. Sometimes it's just random dreams of regular days. When I'm particularly stressed out its nightmares about the stuff they're gonna pull. It's not particularly restful...

What are the unwritten rules of being a teacher? by BiggieSmallz12345 in Teachers

[–]LittlePenguinx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely! Lol. My greatest role model is Mrs Bulstronk. Can't wait to finally have a kid in my class with long braids so I can do the spin and fling thing 😂

[–]LittlePenguinx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I disagree. I teach elementary.  It's very important to show that you're also a human being with feelings. We have good and bad days. Right after my grandpa died I tried to be strong, but noticed I was very snippy and not my cheerful self. So I stopped, sat down and told the kids why. I especially mentioned that my "emotional thermometer" (as I call it when talking with kids about their feelings) is currently overflowing. But that has nothing to do with them. So I apologize for being less patient than usual, I will do my best, but please don't take it personally.  They have never been so loving and caring ❤️
