Beginning Teacher Talk: A Podcast for New Elementary Teachers

Spooky season is here and as teachers, we know what that comes with, right? 🎃 Lots of Halloween energy! 🎃 Inside this episode, I’m going to give you several ideas that you can use to make a Halloween class party really fun. These ideas will allow your students to funnel their energy into something that will be enjoyable for everybody. I have 22 class party game ideas, and have divided them into three different categories - games that you can use in centers, games you can play as a whole class, and games that you can do while students are snacking at their desks.

How to Plan for a Sub (So You Can Take a Day Off)

Have you ever been sick, but still showed up to teach anyway? Teachers do this so often, and it’s usually for one of two reasons. They feel like it’s easier to go in than it is to try and put together sub plans (even when they’re feeling awful!) or they feel guilty for calling in sick...especially with the current sub shortage.

Our guest today, Kelsey Sorenson, is here to encourage you to change your thought process around taking a day off. She’ll share how you can plan for a sub ahead of time so that you can actually take a day off. You will also hear exactly how to prepare your students for your absence, and how you can ensure that your sub feels welcome and will want to return in the future.

How to Reduce Overwhelm & Stop Imposter Syndrome

How many times have you spent your entire weekend working and then resented having to go into work on Monday morning? When you show up, you’re completely exhausted and would give just about anything to crawl back into bed and sleep for just a few more hours.

If it sounds like I know a little bit too much about this, it’s because I’ve been there. I’ve made the mistake of spending my weekends deep in school work, especially during my first few years of teaching. It sucked all of the energy, inspiration, and creativity from me - yet I continued to do it. In today’s episode, I’m sharing how I turned things around and learned that I could become a better teacher when I allowed myself to rest...and how you can too!
