Welcome to a place for K teachers. Kindergarten is a very special and important grade to teach. We are warriors. We plant the seeds for which our little ones will bloom.

I work in quant and rely on our company’s database for everydays task, but couldn’t get any support from the company’s tech/data team. It’s been such a struggle. Everyday im fighting with red tapes and firewalls. :(

Mid year promotions, I found out you need to make your own case for it rather than the firm coming to you. If you think you’re ready make sure you speak up!

My utilization went to 50 in IBM, I think I have taken paternal leave since it went down. My manager put my as PIP improvement goal in checkpoint.
Need to know how to bring this up and is that my job is under risk? Band 7b

Theory: Trump is losing his mind because he’s essentially been forced to become celibate. He obviously loves chasing women of all kinds, but now he can’t. Four more years? He’ll go totally insane.

I’m one of the only attorneys in my Texas firm that had electricity, internet, and water this week. I was warm and comfortable but still could not get any work done because things going on in the outside world are distracting. When I try to work, I feel like I can barely hold a thought in my mind before I get the “wait, what am I doing again?” feeling. I just want to know, I’m not the only one that struggled this week to do any work, right?

Anyone else have days where it seems like your meds just don’t work? What do you do to offset those? This week has been a struggle.

Has anyone used an ADHD /executive functioning coach? I’ve been on meds since I was 13, but am struggling more than I think I should be with basic things. Some of my poor habits have definitely caught up with me. Any recommendations would be much appreciated.

Are people still live on here? I was diagnosed last year with ADD and I’ve tried two stimulants so far. I know they aren’t meant to be a magic pill but I’m still struggling with general tasks and feel like I’m doing the bare minimum. The Nurse has suggested I try non stimulants. What are peoples experiences with meds ? Did they work or not?

PWC SA2 got an offer for 34LPA fixed.

Worth the jump?

Hi what all we need to do before joining ? I have taken the print out of all the forms that we need to submit but do we need to mail them to someone or do we need to submit the hard copy of that.

Do you have any new years resolution? Want to share?

Hi all. Trying to move from the US to France to be with my partner. Anybody able / willing to help provide insight for getting a visa and sponsorship? Which companies are likely to sponsor an American? I have a B2 level of French. Hoping to stay in ESG / sustainability, but willing to be flexible. Thanks!

Anyone heard of Prescient Healthcare Group?

Is there a growth in GOC, how is work life balance.

Need a recommendation for a contract analytics service provider. Don’t need the lifecycle or repository bells and whistles, just need something I can feed 10k documents and it provides me with data points, preferably individually and in aggregate. Does something like this exist??

What are some GOOD math apps for kinder?

I’m looking for an effective 1/2 day kindergarten schedule. This will be my first time teaching kinder and I’m trying to wrap my head around how I’m going to teach all this content!

Earth day is next week. Any ideas about what kind of activities I could post for remote learning?

I found out a few weeks ago that I will be going from mentee to leader of our K-1 group and that I will be the head Kindergarten teacher. Does anyone have suggestions to help me be a mentor?

I’m thinking that teaching a 5 year old to read with a mask on won’t work. They need to see your mouth. Anyone have thoughts on this?

Hey kinder squad! I'm looking for a song for graduation- I have farewell kindergarten and first grade, first grade. I wanted to do you've got a friend in me, but the kids did it last year...any ideas?

Just 5 weeks left of school before summer. Is anyone else having trouble keeping their students engaged?

Hello kindergarten teachers I have a question for those in the New York area. I have a son going into kindergarten in a few days. My question is what knowledge is he expected to walk in knowing?

I use ClassDojo and a behavior clip chart to manage behavior. We have switched to personalized learning and a teacher next to me says that this is not conducive to personalized learning and good behavior is expected and shouldn’t be rewarded. Has anyone given up the clip method and how does this work for you?

What is the plan for the beginning of next year? If we have to go digital how do you plan on doing that? What about mask requirements and social distancing restrictions. I think much of this is too much to ask of Kinders.

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!

Tips for helping kids stay on task during zoom? Our little class (9 kids) has been doing zoom circle times twice a week but I noticed they are really distracted. Also every meeting a kid leave...

We use istation for testing. What monthly tips do you have? Please help!?

Any ideas on how to keep kids social distanced while walking in line? Teaching personal space in line is difficult in normal years, but I'm not sure how I'll teach them to stay 6ft. apart as they walk or wait in line...
