Just heard that my district will have classroom and live-recording learning. I’m thankful because I now can feed my family, my newborn and a recent-sponsored wife! I’m scared because I’m almost 50 and I’m afraid I might catch the virus and die leaving behind my 1 month baby and a wife who is not legal in the state yet! The USCIS or Trump’s dept. thinks she’s not good enough to be in the US!! We applied for green card and SS card since August 2019!

Hi I am a new teacher intern hired yesterday. I will be teaching second grade. School reopens on Aug 17. I do not have my own materials. I do not know what materials are there in my classroom. What should I buy? I will be talking to the Principal on Monday to find out more. I am very excited and nervous at the same time. Any tips and suggestions for me would be helpful.

Fellow Fish, my SO is a special education teacher with 5 YOE and a master’s degree looking to move out of the classroom and into a new career. If anyone has experience with this; what sort of jobs should she be looking at? Even better, if anyone is hiring or knows of roles hiring former teachers please let me know. Thanks all for the help, ‘preciate ya.

Does anyone have a good reading and reading response lesson for an LLD classroom? I have a demo lesson and special education is new to me. Thanks!

I need to talk with a teacher about inappropriate behavior some parents are complaining that she has in the classroom. How do I approach this without accusing her or making her feel ambushed?

I was recommended by my principal to apply for an LTSE position. This will be my 4th year as a special education resource teacher. I know the position can be tough. What was the transition like for those who have become LTSEs? Is the pay any different? Do you miss the classroom? I’d like to hear the good and bad.

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

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.)

What type of robotic equipment do you use in your classroom?

Organization is critical for classroom management. Try assembling units into Google Slides with links to ppts, activities, etc. Color code them according to the rainbow: Unit 1 red, Unit 2 orange etc. It takes a minute at first but the payoff is a one click upload for next year! PS I use the same color code system with felt tip pens to grade my classes: 1st hr red, 2nd hr orange etc.

What words come to mind when you think of success stories in the classroom?

Headed to SF for a week in April with family. We agreed on a “do your own thing” day and I want to go hiking. Unfortunately the 4hr drive from SF to Yosemite/Sierra/etc is too much for one day. 1/2

SALERY OF BIOMEDICAL TECHNICIAN

Has anyone taken FMLA for whatever reason and can share what the expectation is regarding communication with work while you’re out? Is everything just via HR? Do I need to check my work email? Is it breaking some kind of rule if my boss is texting or calling me about work? Google hasn’t been super helpful.

I'm about to start teaching 8th grade "Family Life" aka sex ed. We do this for the last 3 weeks of school, before we send them off to high school. Any good tips for helping with immature boys?

Hello. 7th grade Science teachers!

Remote Instruction is what we get for all the times we thought to ourselves pre-pandemic, "I wish I could sit down for 2 minutes."

I’m kind of stuck what to do. The principal at my school is very intimidating, confrontational, and not pleasant to work for. I love teaching but feel like I have to walk on egg shells around him.

Anyone else doing sex ed at the end of the year? So fun!

How does one deal with hygiene? Some of these students (especially after PE) really need to hit the deodorant aisle!
