Play

30 minutes recess and no extra play <!--grumpy-->

Ridiculous. I'm glad you're resigning and I hope you let admin know why. That's crazy!

Christmas

Yes to the Christmas Tree - along with tinsels and wreaths around the room <!--holly-->

It's maybe a little different here because it's actually also summer holidays, so schools out! So it's fine...

lol

Sometimes you do need to bend rules to help out someone who is mentally ill. But as with any illness, there should be a medical certificate and evidence of treatment to back it up.

I mean, would...

Christmas gifts

The last two years, my parents have organised a gift certificate and all chipped in for it. It is such a lovely thing for them to do, and I use it to buy toys or art supplies for my classroom, so it...

Manipulative mom

That's really sad :( No wonder the kid doesn't give his best. Mom is the worst kind of manipulator.

I'm glad you felt vindicated though. I can relate to that!

Leaving

Yes, you can leave if you need to. But maybe you should just make it a temporary leave, to give you time to process + make sure it really is about the job.

So sorry you're experiencing this....

The silver lining is you'll REALLY like your class next year!

Small group

I think small group teaching is of a higher quality but also means less explicit instruction over all. For my kinders, less is often more, so small group teaching is a big part of what I do. And...

Readers

We can use whatever materials we want as long as we are teaching to the syllabus. (I think you would call that the standards in the US).

My school does have particular reading and spelling...

Colleagues

it sucks that you're feeling that way. I'm willing to bet there's at least a couple nice people who feel similarly. Keep an eye out for them.



That colleague can't be too popular!...

Bossiness

I agree with this. I've found it super helpful to give 'bossy' kids an area of special responsibility and then teach them to be a 'good' boss- kind, thoughtful etc. And then when they are bossing...

Flu

If someone looks sick in my class I check their temperature. If it's high, then home they go.

Suing

Personally, I think they should be suing the government for weak-ass gun laws. It doesn't make that much sense to me to sue the manufacturers.

Either way, I hope the outcome brings some measure...

Long days

My school is in a small rural town, so many of our exciting field trips require long days. Our typical school day is only 9 to 3. Kids come early- like sunrise early- and get back late. When we do...

Consequences

I tell my kinders all the time 'I forgive you, but you still need a consequence. Consequences help you learn.'

Teaching

I love my school. My first year was tough, with over-the-top observations and such. But my boss trusts me pretty well now, and I am confident enough in my ability to just do what I think is best for...

Rhymes

We do this one with little finger actions, but often i just do a verse or two, however long it takes for them to be settled. We only rarely say the whole thing:

Bullying

Three hours is insane! And talking badly of you in front of students is harassment. Can you report this? In my opinion, your admin is a bully and so is her friend.

Also, the quality of your...

Tough Kinder class

I LOVE Happygal's post, because I think there is never an easy or quick fix with a tricky class.

Kinder is a challenging year because the kids are learning social skills and how to be a student,...
