Last May our graduates come and visit their elementary school in graduation robes and caps . A partially blind student I had in 2 nd grade walked through. I was so surprised. She said she was so excited to see me. I was her first public school teacher. She had attended the blind school. The first day she went to recess she threw her white cane down and ran to the playground. She is on her way to college. Such a great surprise that day. Hugs, tears and laughter .

I love this post. We do so much that we think means nothing, but it means everything to the students we teach.

I try to have a relationship and get to know all my students. I had a student many years ago whose parents were going through a really nasty divorce. He was in my homeroom and would come early and just sit and talk with me until the bell rang. It was only 15-20 minutes a day, nothing major. On the last day of school I pulled him aside before they left and told him if he ever needed anything (he was moving with mom) to call me and gave him my number. 6th grade boys have a tendency to hold their emotions tight; thatโ€™s why I was so shocked when he was leaving and said, โ€œI love you Mrs. ____. You saved me this year and made things bearable.โ€ He gave me a big hug then ran out of the building. That moment was one of the biggest accomplishments of my career.

I teach a 7th/8th grade self-contained classroom and I'm looking for recommendations on morning activities, transitions, and non-core subject matter.

Split classes take away joy! We have 6-7 classes at each grade level and they split 1-2 into the remaining 5 so we can have a 5 day schedule. Big classes plus the classroom culture homeroom teachers work so hard to achieve are ruined. Advice? (Plus we are told to "not be negative" by admin.)

Hello,
I teach 4th grade at a Christian school. I have been teaching for over 30 years but I have been at this school for 2 years. Since I have been working at this school it seems like everything I do in my classroom it's something wrong with it according to my supervisor. Recently, I was told that I am not getting a new contract for the new school year. I have to find a new school. I was told that I am not a good fit for the school.

Is anyone else returning to fully in person learning? We have been hybrid/synchronous since September, which has been very hard and not very effective. They want us to have all Kindergarten students come back in March. I want to stop live teaching over google meet all day while also teaching my students in person at the same time, but there is not enough space in my classroom for safe distancing, not enough space for movement, and sitting at a desk all day is not appropriate for K kids!

We canโ€™t have classroom management without taking care of ourselves first. Rest. Even if itโ€™s for 2 minutes. We close our eyes and reset.
