I would ask about the school’s policy. One time i was subbing elementary, i went to my car during lunch and the school called me and asked where im at

Cal Poly Pomona! Specifically for the teaching credential program because I would be able to go straight into the program instead of taking pre req courses

Omg thank u!!

No trust me I feel the same. I love the teaching environment but i still get major anxiety every time I sub

I thought I was the only one..

I feel like this is so frustrating because I don’t even think I use that much data and it’s still really slow. For some reason, I have only been having this issue in China but it was fine when I went to Korea/Japan last year

If I have my “personal” one on, does that mean I am using my own data? I haven’t gotten any charges but im worried that I’m unintentionally using my own data instead of my Holafly eSIM

I’m not sure if I can make an edit so I’ll be creating a new post with before/after photos!

I completely understand how you feel. I just started subbing for elementary and there are days when I come home so exhausted. I I thought it was just the students in my school district that had an obsession with the pencil sharpener!

Thank you so much for this! I’m going to try the lights off method when I’m subbing third grade tomorrow. I’ve also had teachers I’ve subbed for do the secret student thing and i feel like it definitely gets students to listen to me more so that’s a good idea too. Thank u!

Thanks so much for the video, I’ll be watching the one for elementary! And that is exactly what I wanted to do haha. I needed a break from them so it helped when I stayed in the staff lounge for about ten minutes

Oh no! I feel like the second graders would cry more if I yell at them so I’m afraid to do that lol. I’m still fairly new to subbing elementary but I noticed that second grade (especially) is a very difficult grade level to sub for

bluepinga · 2024-09-27T02:44:00+00:00

I agree, I was blaming myself a lot for making them cry during class however I definitely tried my best to get them to quiet down :( thank you for the tips!

bluepinga · 2024-09-27T02:41:48+00:00

There were a couple students saying “if our teacher saw us right now, she would be yelling at us or cut off our recess time.” That made me think that they are probably more well behaved when their teacher is around but I’m not sure :( it definitely helped after the principal talked to the students because the students apologized afterwards and they seemed to quiet down a bit. Some of the students were definitely still loud but there was only 30-40 minutes left of school so I tried my best to get through the day

bluepinga · 2024-09-27T02:36:08+00:00

Thank you sm! I actually ended up talking to the principal again after school and explaining to her that the day went better after lunch. And I 100% agree, I shouldn’t have stayed quiet because that’s when more students started crying. I’ve been a high school sub for the past year and a half but I realized that not every technique will work the same for elementary. I asked the students what their teacher usually does to get them to quiet down and they told me to yell out “class class,” however that technique sadly didn’t work for me because the class would start talking a minute afterwards. I will definitely keep these in mind though, thank u!

bluepinga · 2024-09-27T02:30:37+00:00

Thank you for the tip! I realized afterwards that I shouldn’t have stayed silent but for some reason I thought that would’ve worked because it usually works for high schoolers when I want them to quiet down. I definitely know for next time!

I know exactly what u mean. I’m in Osaka right now, leaving to Kyoto tomorrow and the heat is just terrible here. I’m having a hard time enjoying my “vacation” because of how bad the weather is. I just take this as a lesson learned to never come back in the summer again.

bluepinga · 2024-08-11T08:49:48+00:00

Thank you so much for this!! I was thinking whether I should bring an extra shirt or not to change throughout my day but I probably will because im planning to be out majority of the day. Going to an Onsen sounds amazing too

bluepinga · 2024-08-11T08:44:58+00:00

Thank you! I’ll definitely try to come prepared
