I was shopping at Michael’s yesterday when a woman approached me asking where I found a wood box. After I told her where it was located, she asked what I was doing with it. I said it was for my classroom. Her quick response, “But there is no school!” I told her that I will still get my classroom ready for when my kiddos return. She was shocked, and after talking a little more, she said, “Good luck!” I’m still a teacher, and my classroom WILL BE READY when the time is right to return.

I went shopping for a new wardrobe like I do every year. I bought supplies for my classroom like I do every year. I know I may not be going back, but I want to be prepared for when I do. I miss being in the classroom and doing my normal back to school routine helps keep me sane!

We are all struggling with our district/state decision (as much as we know/feel what is perceivably right or not), but our families need to know that we support them and will do everything we can to continually support them!!! #lovemyfamilies

Also, people act like ‘school closed’ and now it is ‘reopening’. Nooooo....BUILDINGS closed. I was working very hard still. Kids were still learning (most). And will again. Hopefully not emergency style though.

We did not send out supply list this year. I went to Walmart and bought supplies for everybody in the classroom so they can have their own because there is no sharing. We don’t even have our contracts yet or our salary agreement or our room assignments.

I also purchased supplies (pencil boxes, Crayola thin markers, and white boards); all other supplies are provided by the school. I’m not sure when or if we will be able to distribute them, but I will have them ready for the kiddos return. Until then...

Welcome to our pre-k inclusive classroom. Even with 8 students, and only face to face for 4 hours, we struggle. We struggle being heard through our masks. We struggle with social distancing. We struggle as we find ourselves constantly reminding students to keep their masks on. We struggle to keep them engaged and to teach. One thing we do not struggle with- building connections and showing out love for each child.

Anyone have advice for talking to teachers in your school that are upset with you?
My 4th grade class didn’t show up today because the teachers are upset that student behaviors that are an issue in music are carrying over to their classroom. I understand their frustration, but nothing was communicated with me. I even thought things were going better this week.

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

I have a high level of ADD/ADHD students, so I was contemplating a Morning Meditation and/or Movement to help them focus more. I also would like to work on incorporating transition periods that will allow them to more easily convert to a six period schedule in high school.

I also enjoy teaching life skills, such as investing, and would love recs
