Okay, so what do I really need for a classroom. Almost graduate on a budget, here! What are some really amazing supplies or must-haves you have in your classroom?

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

I just ran across this app and I was wondering what other Lead Preschool Teachers with over 30+ years of Managerial Experiences from Directorships to back in the classroom are making? Three questions in one.

Anyone do anything fun in the classroom for Veterans day? At my old school parents or grandparents would come in and share but here we just had a classroom discussion about it. Would love to come up with some good ideas besides bringing people in to pitch for next year. And happy Veterans day to any veterans in the bowl!

I’m a 3rd grade SDC teacher on an emergency credential — had never stepped foot in a classroom before last Tuesday. Can anyone offer advice/resources for lesson plan development? Help!

What does effective classroom management look like to you?

What are some ways to enrich gifted students for reading, math, and writing in the same classroom as gen ed?

What regulations do you encounter that affect how you manage your classroom?

I can manage my classroom better if I don’t respond to emails outside of office hours. This gives my mind a break and by consequence refreshes me for the next day. It also sets a boundary.

So my ISD split me between a HS and a MS that recently reopened. I'm the only MS band director. The MS decided, without consulting me, to use the band hall as a classroom and after school enrichment "daycare". AKA added desks and tables. How do I approach this? I feel it is not OK in the slightest. I feel the band hall should reflect the goals, discipline, and culture of the program. Not as an empty classroom.

What are your thoughts and opinions?

I have used Dojo and Bloomz in the past. Want to use a classroom behavior management system that doesn’t require me to be logged into an app/site. My upcoming 4th graders are a tough group

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!

Life after the classroom... Knowing that I want to retire and focus more on dyslexia, I am interested in your thoughts about creating a 501c3 and/or LLC to support reading for students and adults with dyslexia, parent advocacy, and understanding how to navigate best practices instead of de minimus that is offered by most districts, and legislative actions.

Can anyone offer any advice? I'm OG trained with 4 teaching credentials, 3 MAs, and an EdD in Higher Education. We do make a difference!

Does anyone keep receipts for classroom supplies you buy for taxes?

I am moving classrooms for the 4th time. It is my smallest classroom and I have no clue how I am going to arrange my desks. I have no cubbies or personal area for the students to put their bags. Help!

This may sound silly, but do you get taxed on any free coins you get (specifically things like coinbase learn & earn or referral rewards)? The overall amount is not much, but I'm a bit afraid of not reporting it at all. I haven't done any transactions other than buying and referrals.

Say I got $200 of BTC via referrals. Would I just pay taxes when I sell, and assume a cost basis of $0? Or do I pay taxes on $200 the year I received them? And then when I sell them, there's a cost basis of $200?

What’s the best company for machine learning projects?

I'm thinking about starting something, but I want to be well versed in entrepreneurship before I do. Any recommended resources (websites, podcasts, books, etc.)? Thanks!

I have a PM interview at PayPal and am trying to prepare for the question around salary. What range should I ask for? Im currently a PM Lead or Sr. Product Manager at my current job so think that translates to a T27 at PayPal. As a POC and a woman I know we historically are paid less so I want to be prepared not to fall into the trap of asking less than my worth. Please help!

My boss makes me feel so incompetent at times. English isn't my first language, and today I asked them to take me through some points they made in a presentation, to better help me understand what they were trying to communicate. They said it's really easy and I should just go and read it myself. :(

Where is a good place to look for accounting contractor work?

I’m curious - people who are on medications like Zoloft - do you occasionally drink alcohol or is it an absolute no? Also wondering if you have tried and decided against it & what your experience was.
I’m asking because I do like the occasional glass of wine or a cocktail. However, I’ve been on this medication for almost 2 months now, and I had alcohol when I was out with some friends, without realizing it. Later when I realized, I was wondering whether I should just completely stop for now.

Any advice for the new girl? I often feel a little invisible and have a hard time finding my voice especially in a department where team has been working together for 5 years or more. They have all been very welcoming but just need advice on how to establish my place on the team.

I hope this bowl will be more active this year 🥳

Koi hai jisne well being expense dte p dala ho?
Have a doubt.

Hi Fishes

I will be joining HSBC sometime soon. Can anyone tell me if HSBC gives any one time amount to set up home office ?

@HSBC @HSBC

Dan got the Juneteenth hat on. Hopefully we get next Friday off.

What’s the utilization requirement for a Director?

Anybody have a different word to use for ‘quiz?’ The kids can do the HW with me/on their own- but as soon as you pass out a quiz- everyone freezes. 🙄 I get test anxiety, seriously.

My company I work at does a lot of different things. My job is to look over the guys. We do computer repair, network builds, fiber installs, cable pulling, camera systems, voip phones, Server support and install, also have a ISP. We build networks from the ground up and do our own onsite support and manage the software. If it is anything IT we do it. We manage 12 schools. Around 60 business. We do the whole County and City IT where I live. What is the average salary for something like this?

Guess what time it is?!?!?! It's 5pm and I'm at the shore having a Corona lite and Coronavirus can't stop me!

What does your Hybrid day look like. School is proposing another schedule, that is not equitable for DL and in person kids.....just want to get a feel for what other districts are proposing. Small schools??? Thanks

Does anyone have any good sites, resources, games or activities to do for a unit on how to spot "fake news"?

I’m about to start a cross stitch for my sister-in-law’s baby who is due at the end of August. I have a hard time sitting still so this helps keep me busy. What are some hobbies you have, if any?

I need a good book or resource for people dating or married to teachers! Each year, my husband doesn’t understand the regular cycle of me being a total nut and me being super chill.

Now that you're in front of the class, what is one thing you wish you could say to your former student self?

How can I support ELL families?

Teachers, what were memorable ways your administration showed their appreciation of you? I’m looking for Christmas present ideas l, but can’t afford to spend and arm and leg & can’t leave anyone out.

What's that one thing still in your desk at school that you wish you could get to? Mine is mini snickers bars and I bet they're melted.

It's FriYAY again, teachers! Do you think this week flew by or was never-ending?

When the Staff Exchange School-Based Interview Cycle opens up in your area, what do you look for when wanting to make the change? 9 years at my current school, and I feel like my growth as a professional has been stagnant, to say the least.

Are you allowed in your district to save up your sick days and put it towards retirement?

Does your school use observations as a learning tool or to try to getcha?

Does anyone have any experience taking the Praxis 5001 test? Is it similar to the CORE tests?

For everyone stuck at home, how are you motivating yourself to not just sit around when you aren’t working from home?

Fav cold one for a Sunday? I like wheat beers and fruity beers.

This is an ELA topic, but I'd appreciate input from other fields (I teach music).
Growing up, I always loved to read; I still do, and enjoy many types of fiction and nonfiction.
However, with few exceptions, I hated the books they made us read for school. They were mostly dull, depressing, and by old white men.
If even I couldn't enjoy those books, I feared they would surely discourage other students from reading--such a terrible loss!
Do you think this is (still) a problem? Or am I just weird?
