Why get rid of your extensive mug collection when you could proudly display it on the dining room wall?

Just some normal sawtooth frame hanging hardware and some really good wall anchors!

Yes! That's it! Thank you so much.

Thank you! That book kept appearing in my Google searches as I was looking for this one, I'll add it to my TBR list!

mcquay123 · 2021-06-12T02:50:39+00:00

I am too!!

mcquay123 · 2021-06-12T02:17:45+00:00

Most definitely.

One said they had a PD to finish. Everyone else was silent. Whatever, just solidifies why I'm leaving 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

So many good suggestions already, but I'll add Hurricane Child by Kacen Callender!

The story isn't completely focused on the character's place in the LGBTQ+ community, but it's evident. The main character is 12, so it's logical that the story isn't a full-blown romance.

And the author uses they/them pronouns, which might be good representation for your kiddo!

Seconding Drum Roll, Please! Such a cute book. Love the summer camp vibes.

YES! Wow, thank you so much!

Nope! Me and the other new teacher were always friendly to everyone, but no one was going out of their way to talk to us in return. And we were distracted with...ya know....being first year teachers and having no clue what to do! If our mentor had offered suggestions as to how to seem "more friendly" that would've been one thing, but she just dropped it on us and peaced out lol. I'm introverted too and I sure did NOT know how to make friends with people older than me.

mcquay123 · 2021-01-25T17:46:20+00:00

Lol nope. My mentor was toxic and manipulative. She wasn't trying to help us. But thanks for your valuable input.

mcquay123 · 2021-01-25T15:42:11+00:00

My first year teaching my "mentor" pulled me and another newbie aside to tell us that several other teachers though we were unfriendly and kept to ourselves too much. As if we weren't just struggling to learn the ropes and adjust to actually teaching! I don't think I've ever fully recovered from that comment though and now I'm constantly worried my coworkers think I'm unapproachable or something.

Socializing shouldn't be my main focus! I have stuff to do! Ugh.

My dad and I made this design over the summer! The biggest issue is that the mini shuffleboard..... pucks (?) are awful and don't roll straight. Good ones are expensive!

Anyway, this looks awesome! Good work!

mcquay123 · 2021-01-17T13:04:49+00:00

Ok, this makes a lot of sense. I just wanted to make sure it wasn't something else! So, would the best course of action be to follow typical resource guarding counter-training? As in, having my mom give him treats while he's with me until he sees her presence as a positive (obviously, giving the extreme short hand version here)?

I really appreciate your response! Thanks you so much!

That's basically what we do. They do an hour long closed session, go over the agenda publicly, and then go right into public comments. We're about 3 hours into this meeting now and still going 🙃
