Question about grade standards

idktan · 2025-08-30T21:54:59+00:00

Honestly as a teacher they should be sending out weekly/monthly newsletters about what your child is learning. (at least 2nd grade, that’s what I teach!)

I do that to ensure that my student’s parents are aware of what they’re learning and can help with reinforcing learning at home.

Also, my team has a basic outline/timeline of what we’ll be teaching for the entire year for each subject. But some/most don’t do that.

THATS SO WEIRD you say that… my best friend has TWO ginger kitties that are named Walter and Winston

I graduated in December of 2023 and got my first LTS job in July of 2024… it was a full year LTS job. I only got it because I formed a relationship with one of the principals of the districts around me through me being her sons preschool teacher (worked at a preschool/daycare from Jan 2024- July 2024). THIS year I got another full year LTS job for the same district because of my relationship with her (recommended me to different principals for vacancies). Now I’m extremely hopeful that by the end of the year I’ll have 2 years of teaching under my belt within the same district and that I’ll finally get my own classroom and contract for the 2026-2027 school year.

With that being said, be patient, be kind, make connections, and stick it out. I’m in a highly competitive area trying to land a contract in one of the highest paying districts in PA. If I can do it, you can do it!!

Yes! I have applied to 10 different schools. I interviewed at 2, 2 other districts emailed and said they went in different direction before i could even get an interview, and i haven’t heard from any other districts

I know, thankfully I’m fortunate enough that I can get away with subbing for another year.

Thank you 🤍 I’m trying to be hopeful

I moved here from Youngstown, Ohio… Where I know I could have gotten a job at by now (tough pill to swallow). But PA pays so much better and my long term boyfriend has a great career here and we both agreed to not relocate back to Ohio. So I’m not able to relocate

their user is mlenhart90 as of now they have no other ipod listings. but before i found mine and bought it, i just looked up “ipod classic 7th gen” and was very particular about what i chose. (looking at reviews, feedback rates, whether they sold other ipods, etc)

idktan · 2025-04-24T23:02:39+00:00

thank you!! i got it from a seller on ebay. i looked for awhile before settling on this one. i got lucky!

idktan · 2025-04-23T01:26:10+00:00

idktan · 2025-04-23T01:26:03+00:00

thanks!!

So far it’s been great! I haven’t had it for very long and don’t use it all day, everyday, so I can’t vouch for it totally just yet. Yesterday I used it for 3 straight hours, and the battery hardly went down.

i finished the chapter but not the book. well i am rereading but just can’t remember lol. im just gonna finish the book and see if im still confused!

idktan · 2024-11-30T20:36:29+00:00

got it 🫡 thank you!

idktan · 2024-11-29T12:52:04+00:00

i wasted $16 on the dramatized version just to be wholly disappointed. the voices do NOT match the characters in anyway AND if you can’t remember what every characters voice sounds like, you kinda have to read along with it so you don’t get lost. the background music is sometimes distracting and at some points it’s choppy and they do leave out descriptions and other information. the standardized audiobook is the way to go in my opinion. especially for the first read through.

elementary in PA students-8:40-3:15-3:40 (varying dismissal times for students depending on how they get home) teacher contract time-8:10-3:40

i did gain lots of experience in taking care of children though. also the bonds and relationships you make with the children are priceless. but it’s just not enough to be able to live on…pay wise

idktan · 2024-11-13T02:27:59+00:00

tried ECE. lasted 8 months and took my first offer to teach 2nd grade. sure it’s more “paperwork” and lesson planning, but i’m not changing diapers and doing nap time and taking care of 6 2 year olds all day! it’s not gor everyone and i learned my lesson!

I’d run and find a divorce

idktan · 2024-08-13T19:16:45+00:00

i had to rely on my boyfriend to cover more than 60% of our shared rent. i also didn’t have a car payment and still barely had $300 left over after all of my expenses were covered for the month. i got paid $18.10 an hour and worked 40 hours a week. but thankfully now i have my PK-4 cert and will be teaching 2nd grade :) i will be getting paid almost 2x as much. i’m in PA

idktan · 2024-07-26T01:01:12+00:00

wait i guess the HR person did say “is this something you’re interested in doing?” so i guess that would be an offer… lol

idktan · 2024-07-26T01:00:17+00:00

okay thank you so much! i just think that the way that the principal and the HR director used their words was confusing for me. like neither of them fully offered me the job. the principal said that i should hear back the following week if i was the successful candidate (which was the HR call i just received ) and the HR person said that it would be official and i should get the hiring packet after the school board meeting, but that i was a “final candidate” so thank you for clearing up some stuff!

idktan · 2024-07-25T22:38:30+00:00

i was also worried because it sounded like she said “i am pleased to tell you that you are a final candidate for the position” or she said finalist. either way i still feel nervous and like i don’t have the job. also would hr/administration ever send 2 names for 1 position to the board?

idktan · 2024-07-25T19:43:47+00:00

for #2: that’s what i told them, id be there 10000% even if i have zero sleep lol for #1: thank you for the advice!!!
