6th Grade Team-Building Days!, a project from Mrs. Mena

Help me give my students equipment for team-building activities. This includes potato sacks, large jump ropes, and parachutes! The transition from elementary school to middle school can be challeng...

What kind of resources would be helpful for special education teachers to share with gen ed? I want to make a “tool kit” to help my teachers next year. I’m thinking like an accommodations tracker, a list of behavior interventions, etc.

I have a bulletin board with financial vocab. At the beginning of the year, it said “Money doesn’t grow on trees”. The students were adamant that money is paper and paper is made from trees so I was wrong. So long story short, I need something new for my board next year. 🤦‍♀️

As a resource teacher, teaching my kids to manage their future is incredibly important. I use the @EVERFIK12 FutureSmart as part of our financial curriculum. I love the simulations and the fact that they are learning through helping the characters!

As an educator, and in no particular order, I dislike the following… the day after Halloween, Valentines Day, St Patrick’s Day, and April Fools.

Whoever is supporting ballot initiative #S-01-2022 has signature collectors out who don’t know what it is. It’s the Nevada Community-Based School Districts Initiative and it would allow municipalities to opt-out of county-based school districts to form community-based school districts. This isn’t about Reno/WCSD. This is about Las Vegas/CCSD. It’s about finding a way to break up the 5th largest school district in the nation. It’s about the fact that CCSD is comprised of 4 cities and 10 census-designated places. In some way, it’s about Superintendent Jara. It’s about the fact that teachers find out new responsibilities and policies on the news. It’s about the fact that retaliation is so prominent down there, there is a Twitter account just to call it out. Jara is claiming that breaking up the district will cost taxpayers so much. Except that last November, he gave 16 district officials pay increases ranging from 5% to 28%.

Middle school and high school resource teachers… if you teach a study skills class, who is in it? Kids you already support in small environments, kids in general education who need additional support, a mix of both? #SpecialEducation #LearningDisability #autism
My resource classroom and my co-teaching classroom are on different floors. I usually meet my exercise goal by about 9am, just going up and down the stairs. A co-worker asked why I don’t just take the elevator. I figure I’m just saving on a gym membership. 😂 #specialeducation
Anybody else feel like their Apple Watch/Fitbit must be confused by back to school? Pretty sure I’ve doubled my summer distance every day since we’ve been back. 😂
Nearpod or Peardeck? Both are approved for my district. Does one pair better with Teams/OneNote than the other? #edutwitter #education #BacktoSchool2022 #iteachmath
Today is the last list drop that I will do before the start of the 2022 - 2023 SY. If you have an Amazon wishlist or a Donors Choose list that needs to be cleared or sponsored, drop the link to them below. Teachers, either sprinkle or RT to your TLs. Either option is support! ☺️

My resignation from CCSD was approved and I have my badge from WCSD now. I guess that makes my move back north official. #nvteachers #Nevada

How honest would you be on a resignation survey?
