You’re so right!! I felt a huge burn out during the winter & the problem was everyone at the center was burned out in my opinion. I had no mentors, no one with real experience to help and my only option was social media. It’s actually how I found you, and Dr Carolyn Bobb Green, & few others that I love to listen to.I’m truly grateful to you because you gave me sooo many options and ideas. Thank thank you for all that you do.

So helpful. Thank you! I got in trouble my first year teaching with getting all the kids to the bathroom and back to the classroom by myself with no help and no explanation how I was supposed to do it. I was just doing my best. ❤

Last year I was in my 2nd year of teaching a PreK Special Needs class. My students and parents were wonderful!!! Even though that was the case I still felt that I was a failure! I felt that way because my classroom aides literally told me every day that I was a failure! The one aide told me several times that I needed to find another career because teaching wasn’t for me. Throughout the day there was constant criticism about the way I did things. When I brought up to admin how I was being treated I was told that these aides were golden and that I should appreciate their constructive criticism! I hope and pray that next year is better! I will be at another school next year! I have learned so much from the PreK Pages videos! I would appreciate any advice or feedback!

Energy transfer is real. Be mindful of who you let touch you.

I've been teaching for over 36 years and still sometimes feel gutted after a bad class. By the way, I'm Secondary trained and then moved over to younger and younger groups as an English as a Foreign Language specialist in Spain. Self-demanding and passionate practitioners are like that. Bad moment? Reflect and move on.

I haven't even told you the story of my class of 36 yet! #truestory (spoiler alert: they did hire another teacher, but not until November)
