Ultimate Guide to my Unhappiness as a High School Science Teacher
Hello and welcome back to my channel!
As you heard me say at the very beginning of today's episode, the past few weeks have been HARD! Juggling being a first year teacher while creating content and deciding how to grow my business has been a challenge. However, it is a challenge that I am here for! Sometimes, I might have give a little more to some aspects and a little less to some (at least this first semester), but stick with me! I appreciate all of your continued support and hope you are loving what I have been doing!
As always, if you were interested in AO Education’s digital planners or any of other digital resources, take a look at our TPT store page!

Thank you all for your continued support! I am really loving creating content for all of you!! :)
Have a great rest of your week everyone, and I will see you soon!

    Are you not worried that the students will just take all those pencils, highlighters, etc., and destroy them? My daughter's students kept taking all the pencils and she found out from the janitors that they were stuffing pencils in the toilets.

    I am not sure if it was this video or one of the others, however here is my key for tests in the classroom. I allowed my kiddos to use cheat sheets. They were allowed one 3x5 notecard front and back with anything they wanted on it. They had to turn the notecard in with their test and could not share. The kiddos thought I was allowing them to get by with something but I was tricking them! I would give put a study guide and go over it with them (hearing, reading, and writing it once) then when they went home to make the cheat sheet they would read and write ir a second time. They also has to know the major concepts because one would have to summarize,, abbreviat, and use their own shorthand to fit all the info on the index card.. They were STUDYING! I noticed that by the time they took the test very few were using the cheat sheet. This worked especially good with Freshmen as they were adjusting to a high school science test compared to middle school. Just something that worked for me.

    Your upbeat attitude is what will get you through. These kids have been cooped up for so long without all their peers around that they are wanting to use the classroom to get acquainted with each other again. I read online where one teacher sd that EVERY grade K thru 12th grade was like a kindergarten class where EVERY teacher has to go over the basics of classroom discipline EVERY day....so hang in the Mrs. Richardson...you got this!!!
