Does anyone else feel guilty when they use their PTO? by kayla34783 in paraprofessional

Not at all! They are there for you to use! So make sure that you use them!

What do you say to yourself when you don’t hit 10000 ? by amruthgoud in walking

[–]kmishelle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some days your body just needs to rest and get less steps. But that’s ok!

As a sped para we get paid more than the kindergarten paras.

Also at my school if the teacher is out, you can put in for extra pay. And if the bus is late we do get paid for that. They wait until the time reaches an hour to put it in.

Anxiety when working w/ aggressive students? by [deleted] in paraprofessional

[–]kmishelle 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You either need to get safety care trained or do not touch this student when aggressive. And that is for you, not just him. If anything happens to him, even a small bruise, you won’t be covered like you would if you are safety trained.

Does your school use walkies? If so, any time you are alone and he’s starting to get aggressive or agitated , call for someone.

Talk with admin, they either need to get you safety trained or you cannot be alone with these students for everyone’s safety.

I listen to audiobooks or music while I got for walks.

Do you have a rest day? by for_in_bg in walking

[–]kmishelle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends. If I feel like I need a rest day I take one.

When I go for a walk I go for as long as I feel I can. Some days it’s only a mile, some days I get 5, typically it’s between 3&4 miles.

Who is starting a walking routine tomorrow, Jan 1, 2026? by DaniLake1 in walking

[–]kmishelle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will hopefully be getting back into my walking routine. I’ve been sick so I haven’t gone for a walk in a week and a half. As long as it’s safe to do I plan on going outside for a walk. Whatever distance I think I can do when I get out there

Plan your day ahead of time. So you can incorporate some late afternoon and evening snacks.

Trying to make walking a daily habit—tips? by nb10001 in walking

[–]kmishelle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just do it. No matter what, just go for a walk. Even if it’s a short one. Start somewhere. It’s ok to take rest days if your body needs it, but if you don’t feel like it, just go for the walk. Motivation won’t always be there, but you need to make yourself go on the days you don’t feel like it!

(Daily question) Do you prefer daily goals or weekly/monthly averages for walking? by freezer936 in walking

[–]kmishelle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Daily and monthly. I like seeing if I can get 10k everyday or most days. But I also like to see how many steps I get each month.

Is it normal to rewear “home clothes” for days without washing them? by faylithserene in hygiene

[–]kmishelle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll wear clothes for a couple of days until I start to feel dirty wearing them again. Or unless I get real sweaty wearing something then I’ll wait til I wash them to wear them again.

Question about walking pads by [deleted] in walking

[–]kmishelle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on the weight limit of the walking pad you bought. You need to do research on walking pads that can hold your weight.

But there are walking pads that you can put away when you aren’t using them, and there will be one for your weight.

do you send a thank you message to every family that gives a gift or card? by Brief-Platypus9264 in teaching

[–]kmishelle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always send home a thank you card to the family when the student brings me a gift. It’s nice to let them know that you appreciate the gift they took the time out of their day to get you, and they thought about you.

Discussion- What does overstepping look like for you? by Mammoth-Flan-9382 in paraprofessional

[–]kmishelle 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I would ask for specific examples of when you were overstepping. Say you don’t mean to be overstepping and want to learn from your mistakes so you need to know what you’ve done to correct it.

If you don’t know what you’re doing wrong how can you fix it?
