It was my student teacher’s last day today and she got me the most thoughtful gift 🥺 I love my kiddos

I’m constantly amazed by my ability to go into school during the holidays to sort out my classroom and leave 6 hours later with no visible differences made. It’s truly a skill.

Finding teaching so exhausting at the moment. My class is so chatty and fidgety, I’m having to give the same simple instructions at least 5 times and I feel like all I’m doing is having a go at them constantly 😭 I need it to be summer now pls

Note to self: You are not personally responsible for a child’s behaviour. Sometimes you can try every strategy under the sun and it won’t be a problem you alone can fix 🤷🏼♀️

Why is organising cover SO much more stressful than teaching yourself? I’ll be off for 2 weeks for my surgery and I’ve spent the past 2 days printing/organising/sticky-noting all the resources for next week and leaving notes for all the people covering me and I’m knackered 😂

Does anyone else spend 80% of their marking time underlining/highlighting words that should have a capital letter? It doesn’t matter how many times I remind them when capital letters should be used or to check through their work and it is genuinely driving me insane

Well, it seems a higher power was listening when I said I’m not ready to go back to school tomorrow because now the boilers have stopped working throughout school and we’ll have to remain closed for the rest of the week!
Long weekend here I come 🥳

My goal for this term is to not let work get in the way of having a social life! I find it way too easy to get straight into bed when I get home due to exhaustion, or plan/resource lessons until late in the evening. Need to stop letting my job get in the way of living my life 🙅🏼♀️

Got my first call for supply tomorrow in a Y5 class!! It’s only a one-off day but they said if I do a good job, they’ll ask me to stick around to cover a teacher going on paternity leave!🥳

Rounded off my first day as an NQT with a big ol’ cry. I’ve decided the only way I’m going to get through lockdown is to be honest about how I’m feeling so I’ll be emailing my NQT mentor and messaging my partner teacher to let them know that I’m struggling and need some help 👍🏼

Thought my moment had come today when we did a teachers’ race at the end of Sports Day this afternoon. Won the first race, then they declared a false start and we had to race again. Our PE teacher decided to join in at the last minute and smoked us all. I came 5th.

Seen a few people talking about using ‘secret students’ to help manage class behaviour so I just quickly made some mini certificates of my own! Only been in school for one day so far but hoping these can come in handy at some point 😊

Anyone else come home from school everyday with a headache or is it just me? I drink water throughout the day so I don’t think I’m dehydrated but then I can’t tell what’s causing it 🤔

Recently, I’ve started being more honest with my kids about how overstimulated I get when they ask me constant questions and always call my name. Today, the class was being noisy and without having to say a thing, some of my kids went, ‘Be quiet! Miss is getting overstimulated!’

I was playing rounders with my kids in PE today and when one of them threw the ball to me, it bounced before my feet, rolled up my leg and landed right in my hand. The kids went INSANE and I felt like I was the world’s coolest teacher for a moment 😎

Anyone else got a serious case of bickering in their class? I don’t think I can get through 15 minutes, let alone an entire lesson, without one of my kids coming to tell me someone looked at them funny or said something silly. I think I’m going a bit insane 🙃 Any tips?

So I have an autistic child in my class and he really struggles with losing in games. Today we were playing 21, and my kids started to notice that he might get out and they subtly decided to ‘sacrifice’ the person before him so he could keep playing 😭 bless their hearts!

So I had a discussion with my kids this morning about their bickering/snitching! I explained the difference between tattling and telling and informed them of the kind of things I do and do not need to be told about. Definite improvement today! Let’s hope it lasts 🤣

Told my class I would be off tomorrow for my surgery and explained it’s because my eyes protrude too much and need to be corrected.
One of them went to me, ‘Is that why you always say you can see every little thing we do, because your eyes are so big?’ 🤣 kids are the best

(2/2) I struggled for a moment but jokingly said that my most challenging pupil hadn’t had a meltdown today (last term, they had at least 3 per day everyday). My dad simply said, ‘Then you did have a good day’. Made me realise I should focus on the small wins too 👍🏼

When lockdown started in January, I didn’t know how I was going to adjust to teaching online and teaching a smaller group of children in school. Now I have no idea how I’m going to go back to teaching 30 kids, 11 kids was more than enough at times 😂
