Morning meetings can take up a lot of your Morning, I get it. However, it is an essential part of your student's social-emotional growth. In this podcast, I am discussing the importance of morning meetings using morning greetings, morning share questions, morning meeting activities, and a great way to use that morning message in an authentic way. I also discuss why morning meetings are important for your students.

As the end of the first quarter ends, it is time to think about those important parent-teacher conferences. This is a time for you and your students' parents to come and talk about what growths they have made so far through the year and what your plans are for their child throughout the rest of the year. This can be very stressful for you as the teacher.  

So in today’s podcast, I am going to give you some ideas that you can use to help you with parent-teacher conferences. I will focus on how to prepare what to say in the meeting and troubleshoot a few problems that may arise.

Now I don’t know about you, but I am stressed out, more so than I usually am at the beginning of the year. So far this year, my district is going virtual with pretty much everyone. I can’t tell you how many times I have just felt exhausted, run-down, and stressed out. I feel like I am a first-year teacher all over again. I am trying to adapt to everything that is being thrown at me, and when I do adapt, something new is put on my plate.  

Honestly, this isn’t sustainable, for me or for you. So in today’s podcast, I am going to give you some ideas that you can use to help you unwind, and destress. I of course will make it easy and yes, it can take as little as 10 minutes if that’s all you have.

 Last week I talked about websites that were helpful for the classroom. Today I am going to be talking about google slides. I have been using this more and more with my online teaching and I have found five add-ons that I love. I have also found two hacks that you can use with your slides as well that I want to share. Hopefully, these will give you some ideas on add-ons that you can incorporate in your slide presentations that will engage your students and you can use right away.

In this episode, I am going to talk about what happens after you greet your students at the door. Now, they need to come into the room and get their morning started. However, you are still greeting students, so you can necessarily stop to give each student a list of to do’s. This is where the morning work comes in! So today, I am going to talk to you about what you can have your students do once they arrive in the room (or virtual room for that matter!). And as always, I will give you ideas that you can use right away.

In today’s episode, I am going to talk about that very first impression you make at the beginning of the year, Open House.  Every school has a different name for it, but it’s where you get to meet your kids and their families for the very first time. It is exciting and nerve wracking all at the same time. However,  It is a great way to introduce yourself to your students and your parents who are going to be with you on this journey for the next school year. So I’m going to give you some ideas on how you can make a great first impression, and get all the information you need from your parents.  And as always, I will give you ideas that you can use right away. So let’s get started.
