Teacher Appreciation Week 2011

[#1]

My advice to first year teachers is to be very prepared and organized.

My top ten suggestions:

-get friendly with other teachers who teach the same grade level in order to get ideas and advice from them.

-join teacher websites such as abcteach, edhelper, enchanted learning, etc.

-become involved with Donorschoose.org and wishuponahero.com if you need supplies for your classroom or if you want to help other classrooms.

-read teacher guides and come to school very prepared with what you have to teach

-don't wait until the last minute to make copies

-organize and label the books in the classroom library

-organize and label where you put your supplies so you know where everything is

-eat lunch with the other teacher everyday. Important to take a break in the middle of the day in order to refuel.

_be firm, fair and consistent

-enjoy what you do.
