It's a really tough job (isn't everything in education?) but most days I think I have the best job in the world. Although, now that I'm on at leave I'm not really missing the stress. Or any snow makeup days! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teacher-roll-call/page/2#post-1571312 Tue, 15 Apr 2014 22:05:23 +0000 bunnylovesbear 1571312@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I teach 4th grade, all subjects, in a public school. Totally love my job. I have an especially great group of kids this year, too. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teacher-roll-call/page/2#post-1571192 Tue, 15 Apr 2014 20:34:51 +0000 ScarletBegonia 1571192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am on mat leave but I teach high school Science in Sydney Australia - so high school is grades 7-12. In Grades 11-12 I teach Biology. I LOVE it and can't wait to get back to teaching! I teach at a very affluent private school so I get some crazy pants parents but it just adds to the fun :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teacher-roll-call/page/2#post-1571191 Tue, 15 Apr 2014 20:34:46 +0000 Happygal 1571191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HazelEyes: do you do more counseling on academics or emotional kind of stuff? Good to see another Virginia woman around here!</p> <p>@Mrs. Taco: what a perfect way to wrap up the school year! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teacher-roll-call/page/2#post-1571190 Tue, 15 Apr 2014 20:34:14 +0000 jhd 1571190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last day for students is June 4. We missed quite a bit for snow but they just took away all our breaks instead of making the school year extra long. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teacher-roll-call/page/2#post-1571185 Tue, 15 Apr 2014 20:30:44 +0000 Mrs. Taco 1571185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Happygal: Our last day is June 6th (LOs first birthday! :grin: ). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teacher-roll-call/page/2#post-1571183 Tue, 15 Apr 2014 20:29:41 +0000 HazelEyes 1571183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a school counselor in a high school...

Half day for students and then we all rush out too. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teacher-roll-call/page/2#post-1571168 Tue, 15 Apr 2014 20:19:44 +0000 Happygal 1571168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swedishfish: whoah, June 27 seems so far away! Is that the last day for students, or for you? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teacher-roll-call/page/2#post-1571102 Tue, 15 Apr 2014 19:48:51 +0000 swedishfish 1571102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. 64: my last day is June 27 and we also started after Labor Day. Lucky! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teacher-roll-call/page/2#post-1570962 Tue, 15 Apr 2014 18:47:20 +0000 Happygal 1570962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. 64: I'll wall you my city. It's a good one to visit! My sister is in Arlington and the schools both start a little later and get out later than schools here, although it's more like how I remember things being growing up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teacher-roll-call/page/2#post-1570954 Tue, 15 Apr 2014 18:45:05 +0000 mrs. 64 1570954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Happygal: I didn't know that you were in Virginia. Are you in Nova? </p> <p>Our last day is June 17, which is pretty typical for here. We don't start until the day after Labor Day though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teacher-roll-call/page/2#post-1570870 Tue, 15 Apr 2014 17:55:44 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1570870@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Happygal: I did a lot of presentations, build assessments, held instructional meetings for other teachers. I much preferred that over disciplining the younger kiddies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teacher-roll-call/page/2#post-1570816 Tue, 15 Apr 2014 17:29:28 +0000 Happygal 1570816@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When is everyone's last day? Ours is June 12--we have to make up time for so many snow days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teacher-roll-call/page/2#post-1570815 Tue, 15 Apr 2014 17:28:55 +0000 Happygal 1570815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Katrocap: You're not too far from me! In fact, a student I tutored just took a class field trip to your city. I'm in Virginia in a tiny school where the languages are Korean, Spanish, and Arabic. The county supports SIOP model, but whether that happens or not is another story. :wink: How about you?</p> <p>If I teach full-time next year, I may be at a school that is 90% Latino or a school where there are over 30 countries and 20 different languages represented!</p> <p>@raintreebee: what do you teach? In my experience, graduate students can often act like juveniles! </p> <p>@rrachael: how are you finding the mom/teacher balance?</p> <p>@SugarplumsMom: another ESL teacher! What made middle school easier for you? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teacher-roll-call/page/2#post-1532004 Sat, 29 Mar 2014 23:41:58 +0000 rrachael 1532004@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Middle school special education here! Love teaching but definetly am having to adjust now that I'm a mom too :) I used to stay late and also do planning at home ... Now I can't get home to my lo quick enough! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teacher-roll-call/page/2#post-1531863 Sat, 29 Mar 2014 21:01:03 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1531863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I teach 3-6 ESL part-time. I'd previously taught middle school and personally feel like it was much easier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teacher-roll-call/page/2#post-1531777 Sat, 29 Mar 2014 20:01:12 +0000 matador84 1531777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Happygal: it is less discipline more instructional. Elementary is much easier compared to middle school! I coach teachers, do observations, build assessments, do a lot of projects. Not much discipline, I organize a lot of student interventions and talk to parents. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teacher-roll-call/page/2#post-1531732 Sat, 29 Mar 2014 19:31:40 +0000 raintreebee 1531732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I teach at the graduate level. So a little different but still a teacher! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teacher-roll-call/page/2#post-1531687 Sat, 29 Mar 2014 18:37:03 +0000 Katrocap 1531687@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@happygal: So excited to see another ESOL teacher bee! I teach ESOL at a PK-8 school in Baltimore City and love it. The politics, paperwork and other nonsense is a pain, but I love what I do and my kids are fantastic. The languages represented at my school are Arabic, Amharic, French, Igbo, and Spanish. What city/state are you in? What kind of ESOL instructional model does your school follow? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teacher-roll-call/page/2#post-1530646 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 18:25:23 +0000 As Time Goes By 1530646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Such an interesting mix of specialties!</p> <p>Intermediate Special Ed (resource and learning assistance) here :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teacher-roll-call#post-1530576 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 17:46:10 +0000 Rubies 1530576@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I teach high school English and history. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teacher-roll-call#post-1530518 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 17:16:42 +0000 Skiermomma 1530518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I teach HS Art, mostly digital media and the IB curriculum. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teacher-roll-call#post-1530502 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 17:07:09 +0000 mamimami 1530502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Happygal: I am a faculty member but I don't have a class per se beyond homeroom and advisory. I am in charge of student activities so I work with student council, plan graduation, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teacher-roll-call#post-1530448 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 16:34:58 +0000 lemondrop 1530448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I teach veterinary technology at a local career college. I love it, it is a topic I am passionate about and most of my hours are flexible since I do a large portion of our online and tutoring with one on-site day a week.</p> <p>@Happygal: I definitely agree with avoiding the school politics- I am so much happier after moving to part-time and avoiding all that drama! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teacher-roll-call#post-1530437 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 16:29:55 +0000 Happygal 1530437@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mamimami: yeah! Was does it mean to be on special assignment?</p> <p>@808love: I've always loved 4th graders. Independent, can read books, but still sweet.</p> <p>@Anagram: that's awesome you have access to all the databases. One thing I miss about grad school is access to those resources! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teacher-roll-call#post-1524649 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 23:16:17 +0000 mamimami 1524649@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Woot woot, so excited to join the thread! Some of you ladies helped me with my model class a few months back! Now I am a teacher on special assignment and in August I'll start high school English. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teacher-roll-call#post-1524648 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 23:13:14 +0000 Mrs. Lovebug 1524648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Taco: I completely agree, and I feel for those kids who push themselves so hard that they sacrifice their well-being.</p> <p>@Mrs. Green Grass: Which AP course do you teach, Lit or Lang? I teach AP Language, and I love it! I am getting a bit anxious about the quickly-approaching tests...eek! I usually like to review from Spring Break onward, but there's still so much I want to cover. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teacher-roll-call#post-1524495 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 21:24:02 +0000 Mrs. Taco 1524495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lovebug: @Mrs Green Grass: Yayyy for HS English! I taught honors and AP last year, everyone thinks those are the best classes but sometimes the parents and drive for perfection can be a struggle all its own. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teacher-roll-call#post-1524491 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 21:22:33 +0000 jhd 1524491@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I teach high school French, also certified in ESL. I'm planning to SAH for a bit (LO is due in April). Then hope to get back into ESL one day. Or possibly go back to school to be a reading specialist. </p>
