My first days for both 5th and 6th grade are reading to them. I like Peter Reynolds books. The Dot, Ish and Sky Color. One in each class. Usually The Dot for 5th and one of the other two for 6th. I tell them that all the wisdom in the universe is contained in children’s books. Then we create and decorate portfolios. They fold a piece of poster board in half, staple the sides, and decorate it however they want. You really see their personality come out and then they store their work, rubrics or whatever there all year and take it home at the end.

Since 2018 I've worked 3 jobs. Bouncing around from banking and consulting. At each job I've been in the role of a data scientist and or engineer.

Another offer has fallen into my lap. (I didn't apply, an old professor recommended me. After a few convos they offered me) I was offered with a 25% bump, better benefits, and better WLB.

With my record of bouncing around, would this be dumb for me to take? I've been at Deloitte just shy of 1 year.

Any suggestions or feelings about sending supplies home to remotes? For some units I’m not comfortable sending certain supplies. I’m looking for ideas. I’m considering building up art history and research for the remotes... perhaps more in class as well. I love art history and since I didn’t get most of my supplies I am running low because I gave to make personal kits. 😱 feeling stressed!

What are some of the things you are looking for when finding new teaching opportunities?

Need advise! My campus does a shared budget that I share with a fellow art teacher at the same campus. We also share a supplies closet. Would you split the budget and get your own supplies or just buy in bulk and share supplies? I am not sure what to do.

Twice this week a student said there was a bad word on a ruler. No, that is the name of an art store.
