Hey there Fellow ECEs! Can we talk classroom themes? Does your school give themes to chose from or can you come up with your own? And how about purchasing decor vs making decor?

Drop your classroom management ideas here. For my school it sure is nice to have a principal who supports a no phone policy.

Band teachers... how do your virtual band classes work? I’ve been doing music theory with students via google classroom and kids constantly ask to play instruments. It seems like a nightmare to have 30 kids with instruments online because of the delay in sound. Help plzzzz

Hello! I am in need of a job that makes at least $70k and is virtual in the DC area. I am adaptable, organized and a leader.

I would love to connect and see what possibilities are out there for me.

Hi music teachers! How are you surviving? I’ve been teaching band and choir for a long time, but distance learning and Zoom has me stumped. I’m lucky to have a job, I realize. What are some things you’re doing in your virtual classrooms that your music students enjoy?

I am working on putting a PD session together for new teachers about using tech in the classroom. What tools/skills do new teachers need to know when they get started (other than learning their school's grading/attendance platform)?

Hello all, just joined. I use a lot of ed tech in my classroom and would love to connect and exchange ideas with others.

What are your experiences with blended learning in the classroom?

What is your best classroom management trick?

We can’t have classroom management without taking care of ourselves first. Rest. Even if it’s for 2 minutes. We close our eyes and reset.

What novels do you use in your ELA classrooms? I am curious to see what everyone else is using !

Just went from 5th to 2nd and would love to know classroom management ideas. Anything to stay away from? Thanks!

What is the best digital tool you have used in the classroom and what grade level is it best suited for?

I’m student teaching and I’m completely stressed out. I’ve been in an elementary classroom as a TA, but this is way different.

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.)

Hey Coaches! I’m Alyssa, and I’m one of the Community Leaders here at Fishbowl. I’ve been in the classroom for 10 years and a classroom coach for 6 (mainly elementary/Pre-K). Excited to be here!

Without warning it looks like we'll be switching from consultant teaching to inclusion...what do I need to know. Never co-taught or done inclusion except for years and years ago and it was very informal. Best ways to build a solid relationship with the classroom teacher you're paired with? Pitfalls to watch out for? Thanks!

After teaching 14 years teaching 3rd grade, 2 years teaching 1st grade, and 1 year teaching 2nd grade, I’ll be starting a new venture as a 6th grade Math teaching. I need ideas for decorating my classroom and teaching the curriculum. Help!

Does anyone have experience working for Connections Academy or another virtual academy? I am very interested in teaching from home, but most virtual jobs I have reviewed still require you to come to an office/ school building. I want to know what it is like, specifically the work load. Would you say more or less than public? How does classroom management, amount of grading, and freedom of curriculum differ?

What type of school do you work at? Public? Private? Homeschooling CoOp? How do you feel that impacts you as an educator and as a Christian, and the roles you can/cannot/do/do not play in the classroom?

I thought the answer is yes but now double checking. Can we write off the interest we pay on our primary residence mortgage?

Had my 1:1 with my People Lead yesterday to prepare for talent discussions. Said I had a great year - but need to work on being consistent. She said when I’m engaged it’s great but need to keep it going. I’ve mentioned my ADHD previously but I’m sure she doesn’t know all the components of what that means. We’ve had org issues - no clear role descriptions or expectations. Yes I do have a hard time staying engaged (and I’m medicated - Vyvance in the am, dextroamphetamine at noon). Thoughts?

Salary discussion done on 13 Nov, but no further updates on offer letter release from HCL, will they release or not?, hr is not replying my calls or emails. How long will it take to release an offer letter ?

I’m beginning to think all the 2020 SB briefs started with... “we need a big personality to represent our brand.” Since when is celebrity a substitute for concept?🤔

Can anyone review my resume and give me feedback?

I quit my previous job approximately 5-6 months ago due to toxic culture and being pressured to commit fraud… I fear hiring managers see that I’ve been out of work for this time and may assume I was fired or laid off. Additionally I’ve had a couple interviews where company “X” interviewers have commented on this and in an effort to not bad mouth my previous employer I’m stuck with a generic answer like I want to take my career to the next level with Company “X.” Any thoughts/advice?

Boys, please introduce yourselves. I only see female 🐟 posting here

Any SF/Bay area people on here? Feeling inspired to coordinate a socially distanced meet up, covid lockdown loneliness is real

Curious to know how many are both the EC teacher and the general curriculum teacher for their PReK class. (And are you the IEP case manager for your students.)

Should I feel terrible about not getting my preschoolers Valentine's stuff? With the pandemic, having to remotely teach instead of having snow days, finishing up report cards and completing progress reports on my IEP students I simply did not even think about it and now tomorrow is the day 😕

Hey EC teachers! Anyone willing to get on a market research call with me? I promise, no pitch!! Just want to ask a few questions :)

What does your NEW operations look like due to COVID-19? How many early childhood Ed providers remain in operation and who is closing their doors?

One of my favorite things about early childhood is the unique kids think. I feel like I should start a book of all the funny things kids say. What’s the funniest thing that happened to you this year?

Does anyone have any tips for switching to family style eating for 3 thru 5 year olds? Anything that you've seen that works great rules or routine wise?
