I am sure you have 11 mins. to listen to this Truth. She knows what she is talking about. She was there.

Emma Douglas (this student here) is far more eloquent than many of the elected “officials” we have. Please. Share this.

Why Are You Early???

When kids come in early and interrupt my morning routine:

teachingfeelslike

When I pass another teacher in the hallway and she gives me the “kill me now” look.

When tomorrow is the first day of school

Is August 28 too late for BTS Lularoe shopping?

I could get July 31, but I’d have to reschedule an in-home shop I scheduled for August 1. The local ladies like the you to have 30 days between hosting events. I tried explaining, “But these are my internet friends?” and that didn’t fly. ;) This hostess was cool with giving me August 28 though.

Regardless of date, it would be 9 p.m. Eastern on Facebook.

And this hostess said she could invoice to Canada though Square.

Let me know what works best!

girlwithalessonplan

ALL RIGHTY FOLKS. I booked August 28 for the online party because of being unable to reschedule my in-house one. (OH WELL.) As soon as I have the FB event link, I’ll send it to those who were interested!

LLR is great for work. (And they have guys tees! Woo!)

education-schmeducation

So excited! I love their leggings. Send the link when you can :)

High school and middle school social studies peeps!

I teach US History to 10th graders (roughly 1760s to 1919). What book do you really love or really want in your classroom library? Doesn’t have to be just US History. Share your ideas with me!!

Boost for the history peeps

I don't know anything for high school but the following are great for middle school: Blood on the River Elijah of Buxton Chains Fever 1793

So next year I have last period prep...any endurance suggestions?

Over the past 5 years of teaching, I have always had a midday prep. It’s a wonderful respite, and I usually get a chance to tweak the flaws of my class from the morning.

Do fellows teachers have any suggestions?

#EDD

If you could be any other school staff member for the day, who would you be?

(ex. office worker, TA, paraprofessional, principal, plant manager, cafeteria manager, PE teacher, Art teacher, Dance teacher, Music teacher, ETC.)

vwalker

Copy room person? Is that an official thing lol? I would just run people’s copies, make bulletin board stuff, and do random editing projects all day…

growthliveshere

IEP Coordinator - I LOOOOOVE writing IEPs.

Or an office worker. I love paperwork and making copies and all that stuff.

mrskaaay

Data manager. I’d love to crunch numbers and disaggregate data.

girlwithalessonplan

Academic adviser. I LOVE helping kids plan schedules, search for colleges, and go over college/scholarship apps. I’ve legitimately looked into getting a graduate certification in this.

dudeinthestacks

Librarian.

wincherella

Ditto on librarian.

education-schmeducation

Totally the librarian

#EDD: What is your go-to breakfast during the school year?

Starting at a school with normal hours next year, and I’m no longer completely broke, so I need a nutritious and filling breakfast to take with me!

adventuresinteachingx

When I actually have breakfast? Coffee and tater tots from Dunkin if I buy something on the way in or tea and a granola bar. Neither are super healthy options.

wincherella

Homemade smoothies, fresh fruit in the summer, frozen fruit in the winter, vanilla yogurt and green tea.

maevegreen

Gluten free toaster waffle with either Nutella or homemade raspberry jam (I have a large raspberry patch in my yard) and coffee.

vwalker

Oatmeal.

Overnight oatmeal of varying types. Hot microwaved oatmeal. Microwave oatmeal I run out of time to eat and dump cold in a mug to eat while driving.

education-schmeducation

Homemade smoothie and a bagel. Or Starbucks oatmeal or chonga bagel.

#EDD: What’s your “beginning of the day” routine?

I go in, unlock my door and turn my lights on. I heat up my breakfast and get some ice. I make any copies I need for the day. I make the powerpoint intro for the day. Then I’ll check my emails. Finally, I’ll open my door and say good morning to my kids and let them in.

vwalker

Get to class, close door most of the way and pretend I’m not there yet lol, double check that all my materials are ready for the day, get tech turned on, display agenda PPT, go through emails, fill water bottle, then either attend meetings/help coworkers/check in with coteachers/work on paperwork.

wincherella

Check my mailbox in the staff room, go upstairs to my room, unlock the door. Turn on my projector, smartboard, and computers (2). Make sure my attendance is set up on the smartboard, along with Edmodo and Classcraft, two programs I will need througout the day. Make sure I have any physical materials required for the day. Set out the breakfast bar for the kids. Check the IN box and sort out any grading I need to do. Log into Power school to log attendance and then into my emails. Check out emails, answering those I can immediately and dealing with the others as necessary. Set up all the tabs on my desk computer for the day. Bell rings, go out into the hall way to greet the students as they come in.

coffee-teach-wine

Plug in my lights, turn on gangster rap, drink my coffee and read the news.

I always have everything prepped and ready to go the night before. My mornings are for me.

maevegreen

I unlock the door, turn on lights, unpack my bag, put my purse away, set up my desk, turn on the computer, all before that one former student comes straight from the bus to visit with me until the first bell.

andimtheteacher

This is where I am a mess. I have never been a morning person- at all. All my good work happens in the afternoon to the witching hours and has for decades now. If my day at school could be 12-8, that’d be awesome. Not sure how I’d manage momming around that, but my sleep cycle would love it. Soooo, my morning routine is me sliding in two minutes before the first bell, grabbing supplies I prepped the night before, and showtime!

education-schmeducation

I like to get to school really early when almost no one else is there. It helps me mentally prepare. I also know I won't be disturbed. I usually have everything prepped, so I get water for the kettle, check my inbox, make coffee, check emails, and double check supplies. After all that, I will play an audio book and complete some grading. Over this past year, I have had a habit of changing my lesson plans just before bed (some odd stroke of genius at the 11th hour), so if that happens...my morning is hectic.
