    Angie helped me get my K job since I rocked the interview from binge watching her content. Now I’m using her content to prepare for what’s ahead of me. How awesome to be able to get free downloads of the things I need to ensure a successful year. She has also taken time to answer questions I’ve submitted through email. She is simply the best resource I know of for all things teaching!

    Yahoo. Be proud of yourself for being a teacher. Each day you will learn so much. Plan out your day and add extra. I guarantee your students want you to “win”. They are for you and will soon be a very important part of your life. I believe that you are there for a reason. You are called for a time such as this. You’re going to be great. Big hugs. Remember you don’t have to be perfect. Smile and enjoy your day. 💕

    If you don’t have the assessments to look at I would either skip it or look at the objectives or benchmark skills for the unit and put that in the curriculum mapping. Lots of times you will see the same benchmark learning objectives over and over and over. That’s how you’ll know it will be assessed at some point. Hope that helps. If I am not understanding your question- let me know.

    The Teacher Binder Starter Kit is in color so I wonder if it's something with your printer settings? I wonder what's going on? (Some things that have happened to me in the past when things don't print right are 1) make sure the color ink hasn't run out 2)print settings where set to print in black and white 3) my adobe acrobat was out of date. ) Maybe those will help you to print in color. And Yes, I'm going to do a video on my exact lesson plans for the first few days of school. That will be coming out in July sometime. If you have any specific questions let me know and I can talk to each specific question.
