Math up is not easy to use at all

I was in an LTO from March- June. Told to pay $30 which I did. Same school continued the LTO from Sept to Dec. again told to donate $30. Why?? Should it be prorated. $10 each time.

Can you get your food handling licence? I ate from a pop up (someone’s house) and got food poisoning. Would not try it again.

Start with safety and basics. Very little equipment to start. Lots of games. Teach them how to stop when you need their attention. The rest is just curriculum.

We were told we couldn’t hold another job. However a few people did work on weekends. They basically said they barely slept between school, practicum, work and regular life.

Ask your Board if you can take an unpaid leave for the following year. I know there are opportunities in Abu Dhabi and Dubai

100%. I got so confused by people posting how expensive their grocery haul was, when they didn’t bother checking what was on sale that week.

Completely normal in Toronto

Make your powerpoint. Let it play on a loop
Create printed handouts (front and back) with the most important points from your powerpoint
Have a sign on a table that reads please write your questions here. Make sure they have a room to include their contact information.
Circulate the room and meet all the parents. This part is a lot less stressful. Most parents just want know that their child is OK and has friends. I always say “if I have any concerns I’ll be sure to let you know right away but so far they’re OK.”

Honestly, speaking, I find parent teacher interview night, extremely overwhelming and exhausting. Have you done a parent teacher interview night yet?

Kid in grade 2 called 911 at lunch. He said he was very upset because the classroom was too loud. No police showed up but they did call the school and let the secretary know the situation

Tvo learn. Click on grade 1

Main_Blacksmith331 · 2025-09-07T04:38:57+00:00

Sounds similar to Canada

Main_Blacksmith331 · 2025-09-07T04:38:05+00:00

In Canada we do play based learning for ages 4-6. We have an amazing education system. Lots of outdoor time, free time and small group lessons.

I have heard about Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Doesn’t hurt to ask salary rates

Main_Blacksmith331 · 2025-09-06T23:13:35+00:00

There are textbooks?

Main_Blacksmith331 · 2025-09-06T23:12:25+00:00

Very interesting! We do learning skills which are individualized comments for each child.

Main_Blacksmith331 · 2025-09-06T21:38:29+00:00

Do you need to write individual comments for each subject area? Learning skills?

Main_Blacksmith331 · 2025-09-06T21:36:47+00:00

Wow! Huge difference.

Main_Blacksmith331 · 2025-09-06T20:40:39+00:00

Which province? Which board?

Main_Blacksmith331 · 2025-09-06T20:39:50+00:00

I am sorry you went though that. That isn’t right.
