So does anyone on here NOT have a classroom? (besides Michael haha) I’m teaching 6th grade Social Studies in 6 different classrooms throughout the week. Cool. If anyone else is a “cart” teacher, I’d love to hear what strategies you’ve used with classroom culture, materials etc. Right now, I just feel like a nomad infringing…

I never thought I would be more stressed out AFTER Institute… Real life is upon us, and it has thrown itself at me. My principal has decided to take a mini vacay (yes I just said vacay), and I have no idea no what GRADE I’m teaching. I’m either 6th or 7th, but now we’re…

I got a job today Hired on the spot…whew. 6th/7th grade social studies at a middle school in the Bronx. PS: The school is a DANCE ACADEMY. I am so stoked.

Round two of interviews on Thursday for the same position at the same school. I guess they liked me enough for me to come back and show them a lesson plan. I’m not doing a demo lesson but rather just showing them a plan. I’m a little confused as to how to present the plan…

Wow…I just hopped a fence in a private backyard to get back into St. John’s. This university is ridiculous. 8 more days of Institute! WOO HOO Honestly I do think Institute has gone well for me, for the most part. I’ve only had two lessons that completely bombed (so far…). I do teach Math next…

Nope. No sir…I will no longer be living in a box close to the 4 line. I still remain JOBLESS, but as of now, I am not HOMELESS! My soon-to-be roommate and I found this beautiful (quite affordable) place in Harlem, where I have all this wonderful natural light, hardwood floors, multiple closets and new…

So I am convinced that Institute makes you a nervous wreck. Or at least me. I had a totally fine day. My CMA said hey to me and asked me how I was doing. I started bawling. What. Is. Wrong. With. Me.

Scratch the last angry entry haha… Got my package. Induction is fun. People here are very cool. Life is good
