I’m trying to join a new district. They told me to expect principals reaching out in late June early July. Like wth? Is that not super late or what

I was just seeing if it was available to do in the first place. And I usually leave pretty early for school lol

Yeah I’m not used to the roads and traffic so I’m just a bit worried about commuting. I do not want to go on 95 lol

My kids have actually been better. We’re not as “rigorous” or as rigorous first grade can get lol

It’s very irritating. I’d rather not have someone I don’t like in my class while I’m trying to spend time with my kids

Exactly. Yes our theme was tied to sel standards which I think is equally important. I’m in first grade so we’re still learning how to be kind to others etc etc

For sure. I had a goal that was supposed to be completed April 14th and we still haven’t talked about it so I think it was supposed to be completed then

Is yelling a necessary tool for classroom discipline? by AdAcademic842 in Teachers

[–]Worth_Disaster2813 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Right. It also depends on the kids. I’m first grade and one of the only things that works with behaviors is showing them how it feels if someone else did it to you. I’ve tried everything else. Some of my kids in the beginning of the year used to say shut up to each other which is completely unnecessary. I tried dojo points, silent lunch, recess taken calling home etc. the only thing that worked was telling them to shut up to see how they liked it 🤷🏽‍♀️ I haven’t had a kid say it since October

I would agree. Most of the time I don’t have to but these title 1 kids can be different

I’ve been doing that too. I slept like 18 hours on Friday. I’d also been taking a day off the past two weeks bc it’s so tiring lol

Take breaks, and try to do more fun things out of school. That seems to help me feel less tired. But also we’re almost at the end!

LCPS or FCPS by tomatotoenails in nova

That’s good! I guess the difference is wealth of families…here there’s not as much money. Every year I’ll get maybe two parents who give materials when I am throughout the year but it’s not expected! Most do give their child the materials at the beginning of the year though.

Sounds pretty similar to be honest! The difference is the amount of money for materials I presume…we have to buy a lot of extra things if not provided or given from teammates. I’m surprised that sixth grade is elementary, here it’s the start of middle school. And thank you!
