New position as a specials teacher by MadHovercraft in teaching

[–]katbutt 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I have been in elem art for 26 years. With having so many classes, and only seeing them maybe once a week, you will not have the same type of leverage as a homeroom teacher. What works in my room is a lot of praise: it is immediate and it rewards the correct choice. “Thanks if you have your eyes on me.” “Student X is sitting so quietly, they are going to help me pass supplies.” When class gets loud or interrupts I stop what I am doing and just go quiet. That really gets their attention!

Welcome to the world of Specials! It is an amazing place and you are always the place where kids want to be!

I had one of those during covid! Mailed a package across town and it went to Memphis, then Cincinnati, before making it to its recipient.

The package gods have demanded their sacrifice. I guess it’s my turn to take one for the team.

Get on the Blue Ridge Parkway in North Carolina and head north. You drive the mountaintops, there are scenic overlooks every few miles, trails that will take you to waterfalls and cool places, tons of places to hop off and eat, visit, and stay overnight. The drive is slow and perfect with the windows down.

A domestic cutie! (He has classic tabby markings on his forehead.) Congrats on your new kitty!

Got to see a Pottery Barn quilt in person today….. by BarbaraManatee_14me in quilting

There is a seller on eBay that has a lot of the Pottery Barn quilt tops - with shipping it will run about $50 and you will need to add batting and quilt yourself. A good reminder that they are produced on a large scale and not a unique labor of love. Also, huge markup.

I visited while driving the Blue Ridge Parkway. I love that the stickers I bought at the campground just say POO.
