You don't always have a lot of "planning time" the first couple of weeks.]]> 2021-08-04 20:33:27 UTC https://padlet.com/cshafer3/tu5tl92p111jm1xo/wish/1669271425 https://padlet.com/cshafer3/tu5tl92p111jm1xo/wish/1669271507 Never hesitate to ask for help. Take it slow and reflect. ]]> 2021-08-04 20:33:32 UTC https://padlet.com/cshafer3/tu5tl92p111jm1xo/wish/1669271507 It is all okay https://padlet.com/cshafer3/tu5tl92p111jm1xo/wish/1669271571 It’s okay to not be okay, it’s okay if it isn’t perfect, it’s okay to take time for yourself, to turn school off for a bit, don’t let it overwhelm you, do you best and that is all you can do! ]]> 2021-08-04 20:33:40 UTC https://padlet.com/cshafer3/tu5tl92p111jm1xo/wish/1669271571 https://padlet.com/cshafer3/tu5tl92p111jm1xo/wish/1669272167 Do what you can do and then save the rest for tomorrow!

Always be willing and make an effort to speak to each student individually. Do not let your first comment to a student be negative or harsh. Ask, how are you, first. But if it must be harsh, go back and talk to that student to show that you care. Just talk. https://padlet.com/cshafer3/tu5tl92p111jm1xo/wish/1669272546 2021-08-04 20:35:32 UTC https://padlet.com/cshafer3/tu5tl92p111jm1xo/wish/1669272546 Learn from Mistakes https://padlet.com/cshafer3/tu5tl92p111jm1xo/wish/1669272651 No one is perfect just be you and do what’s right for kids!]]> 2021-08-04 20:35:44 UTC https://padlet.com/cshafer3/tu5tl92p111jm1xo/wish/1669272651
