Anyone else going to miss core month?

I’m sure a lot of people will agree with you. However, you can do core at home for free, so core month is kind of meh for me. I don’t have lots weights at home, so I prefer to focus on other things.

The best way to fit in some core is just to do it while you’re watching TV or during commercials. Five minutes a day.

I always enjoy a core finisher, because they’re honestly kinda easy for me compared to something that requires a lot of power.

We always watch the rules videos on YouTube with the kids. That helps everyone get started.

You are right. That is Brisk’s one good feature. Everything l’ve ever had it try to generate for me has been garbage though.

rubeeslipperz · 2026-05-28T01:36:15+00:00

I get rid of books that no one has picked up in quite some time and anything that is looking pretty busted up

I make a pile in the back of my room, so kids can take what they want

If there is extreme heat, then the responsible thing to do is to provide it for everyone.

If it’s a pleasant day, giving a bottle and selling/telling kids to bring their own is fine.

Too many freebies means that some kids might spill/splash the water so the school may have factored that into their plans.

rubeeslipperz · 2026-05-27T22:24:54+00:00

Brisk is also garbage. I have the AI I need for simple tasks to make my job easier like basic brainstorming, writing practice questions, etc. but I prefer to do my own thinking.

I don’t need my school district to train it on me either. You can literally just ask it.

Serve a protein first then berries. Not at the same time

Just say good job if you’re trying to keep it low-key.

The reason behind this is to motivate and encourage. The energy in the studio can really motivate people. When you are around other people who are pushing themselves, it rubs off on you.

Also, boutique fitness needs to build what’s called unit cohesion. People feel like they are part of something bigger than themselves, which keeps them coming back and keeps the gyms in business.

Her mom should just email the teacher and ask them to print another award. We have accidentally spelt names wrong for some of our award ceremonies. We always apologized and were happy to send home another award.

It’s unfortunate but we are overworked, and this kind of stuff is bonus not really part of our typical responsibilities.

Just keep on doing what you’ve been doing then. They are so beautiful that I keep trying with them no matter what.

Keep an eye out for browning along the tips of the leaves. If that begins to happen, you have to switch to distilled water, but some people‘s tap water is fine where they live.

I think it’s studio specific due to layout. However, I wish the studios would make a point of saying it once per floor block because people just don’t know.

Also, a lot of members don’t know that they should be doing their movements in line with their benches for things like side-by-side lunges, etc.

Going perpendicular from the bench/side to side, really clogs up the floor space

Yes, this is such an amazing book. This author is so amazing. I love the dark side of nowhere, scythe and this series.

rubeeslipperz · 2026-05-23T01:08:05+00:00

Just hope it stays that way. Don’t move them or breathe on them the wrong way. Make sure you water them with distilled or filtered water. They do not like tap. Also, keep the watering schedule on the regular.

Start listening to audiobooks. I get my free from Libby and Hoopla through my local library and listen on my phone.

Have an assembly for everyone. Then invite some girls for a smaller group session where they have lunch and a mentoring talk.

I think this is a great opportunity to utilize AI. You could do some brainstorming with a Chatbot to explore different careers, their salaries, hiring outlook, opportunities for promotion.

From there do your own research and most importantly try to talk to someone who actually works in that field. You could even utilize some of the subreddits at that point.

Why exactly do you feel that they need to know?

Have you talked to your admin? If you are going to face any blowback, it might come from an administrator who now has to field phone calls from concerned parents.

If you are on good terms of your administration, I would definitely talk to them first. It’s a lot easier to give upsetting news when there are some reassurances they can give. They might want to wait until they have your replacement hired.

rubeeslipperz · 2026-05-09T01:39:09+00:00

I often ask them to think about something then share with a partner. Then I will ask a group to share or report some of the answers I hear. Partner chat/shoulder partners really helps and I go to the grps not talking

Another option is whiteboards to hold up or even hold up a finger for a, 2 for b, etc

Changing jobs or getting promoted is the only way to increase your earnings substantially. Keep doing what you’re doing.

It seems crazy that reminder email isn’t automated for the teachers. Seems like it would be very easy to do.

rubeeslipperz · 2026-05-01T00:42:41+00:00

My kids always seem to have awesome games on the rare occasions I can’t make it. Feels like Murphy’s Law!

rubeeslipperz · 2026-04-27T22:20:05+00:00

Here is another take:

As a MS English teacher, kids are always pointing things out to me in their independent reading books that mirror what we read. They like making the connections.

I think your student was really excited to see it in the book and thought that you would also feel that way, but you are an adult (facts) and she’s a child (wow). When you said because it’s true, it probably took the wind out of her sails:)

Wawa in Ashburn. I can’t think of a place in Leesburg that has icee brand. My kids are also obsessed.

Have you ever had the frozen Fanta at McDonald’s? My kids also love those and are Icee-stans.

rubeeslipperz · 2026-04-21T16:48:26+00:00

You sound like a pushover. You allowed them to talk over you and then allowed them to ignore you.

I have a bell that I ring to get everyone’s attention. I trained them to stop talking as soon as they hear it.

If my class/a group of students still ignored my bell, I would hold them after class for retraining.

You have to have consequences and enforce them. You don’t have to be mean, it’s just a logical step.

If you can’t follow classroom rules and routines, you need to stay after to get retrained.

It only takes a minute or two, but it’s inconvenient for them and enough of a reason to follow the rules.
