I 💗each and every one of these so much. I will definitely have to keep this saved, so I can remind myself on those tough days. What an amazing team!

*Ask for help when you are not sure how to help a student (academic or behavior). We all learn from each other.

*When you mess up, shake it off. Tomorrow is a new day!

*Bond with the hardest to love students. Once they know you truly care for them, it can turn things around. 💕

We do a lot of exciting activities as a building. I would advise new teachers to participate. It’s a great way to get to know everyone in the building and helps to create a great work environment.

Last year was my first year and I welcomed my littles with open arms and love and got more stern throughout the year. Toward the end of the year I was told the ‘ol hack “Don’t Smile ‘Til Christmas”. This year I’m going to try a backward approach and start more stern and end more fun 😄. Above all, don’t take yourself too seriously. I love to share my fails and my kids’ funnies and I love to hear yours too. I actually write down funny things my students say sometimes because I like going back to read it and chuckle to myself.

1.Celebrate the moments.Laugh,love ,and continually seek to learn new things.

5. Stay up to date on the current educational and social trends so that you know what the kids are interested in.

6. I also want you to know that I need your wisdom and  fresh ideas.

1.  Relationships are the key to success!  Build strong relationships with parents, students and colleagues.  You really can't put one over the other because they all intertwine and it will affect your classroom!
2.  Resist the urge to complain!  Always look for the silver lining.  :)
3.  The students who are the hardest to love usually need the most love.
4. There is no need to reinvent the wheel!  Ask for help and then feel free to put your own spin on it!
5. This is a GREAT place to work! Let us know if we can help you!

1) Your students don’t Care WHAT you know until they KNOW how much you CARE!
2) We are here for each other, life can get rough. Find someone you can trust to talk to.
3) Set high expectations and practice it often til they “get it”, they WILL get it.
4) Laugh at your mistakes- believe me, we all make them.
5) Don’t forget to have fun with your kids and colleagues.
6) Be a positive person, people do notice.
7) Prayer works wonders!

Everything will be OK. Mistakes happen and we're all human. It won't be perfect or easy, but it will be worth it. Parents want to know what's going on and hear how wonderful there babies are, tell them. Never hesitate to ask for help! And God always knows when you need a break from your special little "so n so". ;)

# data[].attributes.body
1. Show Respect
2. SMILE-Your students  need to see you smile and your coworkers are forming opinions about you based on what they see in the halls.
3. It’s not about you! It’s about the big picture. As teachers, it can be hard to grasp that there is more to our building/district than our own little classroom.
4. Fight for your students. Love them with everything you have. If you aren’t willing to do that, find another profession.
5. Carver is a great place to work. I hope you love it as much as I do. If you don’t, move on. You deserve to love your job and your students deserve it, as well!

Asking for advice or opinions does not make you look dumb. Get all you can.

1. Set HIGH expectations from day 1! You will be glad you did.
2. Build relationships with not only your students, but your team as well. It takes a village!
3. Give yourself a break! You will mess up. Things won't always go as planned.
4. Take care of yourself and your family. Don't live at school. You can't pour from an empty cup. ❤

Make connections with your students. Relationships are the key to success and when they see how much you care about them they will strive to meet your high expectations. Seek advice of parents if you are having a hard time connecting with a student, it will get the parents on your side from the start.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Make a connection with kids.  You have won the battle if you do this. It's easier to teach them if they know you care. Eat lunch with them, take time to talk to them, get to KNOW them.
2. Don't make excuses. Be present for your kids.
3. Teach with urgency.
4. Don't bring negativity to school and don't let negativity get to you.  Seek out positive energy.
5.Keep current on what is happening in education. Create a PLN Personal Learning Network. I wish this had been available when I started teaching. Don't get set thinking the way you do things is the only way to do them. Be open-minded.
6. Classroom managment is a must.  You can't teach effectively without it.
7.Build relationships with your teams. Being a good teammate is important.
8 Always remember your "why".
9. Have fun. This is the best job in the world.

Lean on the veteran teachers (and we have a TON of them full of great strategies and ideas) but don’t be afraid to step out of your comfort zone and do things on your own.  You have to do what’s best for YOUR kids. Don’t hold anything back for fear of what others will think. And when you go all out, GO ALL OUT. If you act akward and embarrassed when you’re doing something exciting your kids can tell. Just embrace it and be excited! If you’re not excited about teaching how can you expect your kids to be excited about learning? Also, don’t be afraid to ask to borrow things, especially for transformations! And most importantly laugh with your kids! They’re funny!!!

# data[].attributes.body
Stay positive even in the face of negativity.  Stay true to yourself and remember to love your students, even when it is difficult to do.  Pray continually!

Don’t live at school! Set your phone alarm to remind you to go home after school.
