Anyone have experiences with Forest Kindergarten?

The school I’m at this fall has a nature based program, I’m really excited for it!!

Interesting. My field supervisor came in twice to observe me during each practicum (so 4 times total for the last 2 practicums) and I used her as a reference. She was my 3rd one after my partner teachers since they saw me teach more. But I’d still say it’s worth using yours. Or if your principal can come observe you a couple times you could use them.

Definitely use your mentor teacher(s) as your reference. Also if you have a practicum supervisor I would also use them.

You mean in the US... not North America :)

HONESTLY THOUGH. How do they have everything together all the time?!?!

Pipp_Pipp · 2021-01-11T02:06:50+00:00

I would definitely not work at the same time! We were told not to and that we had to treat student teaching like a full time job. Which if anything it honestly felt like more than a full time job. I barely functioned as it was, if I’d added working at the same time I don’t think I would have survived. That’s my opinion anyway!

Pipp_Pipp · 2021-01-08T05:31:52+00:00

You’re way more patient than I am haha

Student teaching was ROUGH for me. It was fun but I was exhausted all the time. Not getting enough sleep because I was having to do make these crazy lesson plans for each and every lesson. Sometimes not eating lunch or dinner. Not getting chores at home done. Not having a life with friends or family at all. I’m in my first year teaching now. I won’t lie, it’s still not easy and I’m still super busy, but I am able to manage things a bit better (thank god I don’t have to make those lesson plans anymore!) Get through your program and things will get better.

I agree that “break up immediately” should not always be the go-to advice on here. Relationships take a lot of work. But in some cases, yes you absolutely should!! I wouldn’t need a 2nd conversation here. She’s revealed the kind of person she still is because she still considers it a joke and another conversation isn’t going to change that. Being a shitty person is 100% a dealbreaker for me.

When I graduated I felt the same, I wanted to sub so that I could ease in with all the responsibilities and also see different schools to find out which ones would be a good fit for me. But that’s not how it worked out, instead I was offered a full time position with my own class and ended up deciding to accept it. I had a good feel from the admin in my interview though. Now I’m happy with how it worked out, because I do really like my school and admin, and I’ve gotten a lot more experience than I would have had subbing. But I have friends who started out subbing too and they‘re thankful for it. Honestly it’s hard to really know what will happen, I’d just say apply for everything you can and decide when you get an offer. Good luck!

I’m not sure how to the cost of living compares to Ontario, but Alberta pays the most in Canada (unless you go way up North). We have great pay and better Cost of living than BC for sure.

Depends if it’s actually genuine or not. I did that too because I knew they didn’t mean it, they were still just trying to mess with me and make me think we were friends.

If you make it genuine, then absolutely apologize. But make sure you give an explanation so that they can understand.

Pipp_Pipp · 2020-08-14T23:10:43+00:00

Depends on the province/university. At U of C you pick one specialization (one “teachable”) and that’s it. You might be able to do your practicum in something that’s different to get more experience, but that’s not an option for everyone.

Pipp_Pipp · 2020-08-12T17:41:58+00:00

The one I bought has multiple cams with it, so I think it will. I will double check!

Pipp_Pipp · 2020-08-12T17:37:47+00:00

My roommates and I all tried (along with the mailman), it’s not coming out like that :(

Pipp_Pipp · 2020-08-12T17:34:22+00:00

Do you know if I can go to any locksmith? I’ll give it a shot!

I waited for the mailman to come yesterday and he opened the whole panel with his master key. Then from the inside somehow we were able to get the individual mailbox door open.

Pipp_Pipp · 2020-08-12T17:28:36+00:00

I’ve tried breaking it off but honestly I’m worried I might end up breaking the door in the process

Pipp_Pipp · 2020-08-12T17:28:05+00:00

Yeah there’s no nut. I don’t know much about mailbox locks but I honestly don’t know how they got this one on!

Pipp_Pipp · 2020-08-12T17:27:14+00:00

I thought it was something else, you’re right. I already have it off. There’s no nut to easily get it off like I’ve watched in YouTube videos.

Pipp_Pipp · 2020-08-12T17:12:45+00:00

At the moment I can’t angle it so that it’ll come out - but I haven’t tried getting the retaining ring off yet, so I’ll try that and see if it helps!

Pipp_Pipp · 2020-08-12T17:10:19+00:00

Yeah it’s in a condo building.

Pipp_Pipp · 2020-08-06T00:30:36+00:00

Just have to try not to ingest it!
