Teacher Tip #6

The Honeymoon is Officially Over, Folks!  (That didn't take long!)  From the boys blowing hand bubbles with the soap in the bathroom to the girls passing intricately folded notes, I realize that the 'easy' first days of the year are quickly passing me by.  It seems that as soon as I 'nip something in the bud', another thing arises to challenge my observation skills (not to mention my patience).  I hate the phrase 'don't smile until November' because I want my students to be comfortable in our classroom but when your students call you Ms. Peachy Pickle instead of your actual name, you've got a problem!

Teacher Tip #6  'Bud Nipping' should be declared a required course in all education degrees but since it isn't, you should consider doing an independent study in the future.
