Itβs good to see there is some movement in the NY State legislature re: prescription requirements for the Covid vaccine.
And I finally have the perfect image: lβotters are not afraid.
Exactly!
CVS website HAS NOT YET been updated from yesterday, when it wasn't offering shots at all in the 13 states where it's now requiring rx. So you'll still get a "not available" error if you try to book in those states. But CVS says they're in process of updating site. Again, states listed in article
Updates on the pharmacy vaccine situation today: CVS is now requiring a prescription in 13 states and not offering shots at all in three others; Walgreens appears to be requiring prescriptions in 16 states, but not all the same ones as CVS. The lists of states are in the article. Gift link:

Good to know! I had no idea!
Yes, I use to call that the "X Factor" when you just don't know how a certain mix of kids and their dynamics are going to work out.
Oh wow, I did not know that! I did get the booster last fall, so I can't even get one until the new ones come out? I could have sworn I've read we could still get the old one even if not immunocompromised. That was a couple of weeks ago though.
I'm sure you've heard, but be ready for the Shingles shot to wipe you out whether it's the first or second shot.

Was that easy to find? I am thinking that is what I am going to do, but wonder if I will be able to find that easily.
This has to do with state laws that β in some states β explicitly forbid pharmacists to administer vaccines that haven't been recommended by the CDC's vaccine advisory panel. Legal experts said the liability concerns are real, given the government's actions/inaction.
Oh wait, ignore the part about my friend-I read too fast-this is what she has been dealing with, at first glance I thought the headline said they weren't even going to carry the Covid vaccine anymore.
Thanks for sharing this, I need to share this with a teacher friend in Texas that has been waiting for the new version to arrive, we've been talking about if people should try to find the old one just to get it done. Also, I thought pneumonia wasn't until like 65?!?!?!?
This is from like 12 years ago. I still chuckle and roll my eyes when this Facebook memory pops up. You'd think we would have gotten away from these sorts of things by now.
I was hoping you would see my post because I learned a lot from you before I became a specialist, and I know that it helped me.
I was hoping you would see my post, because I knew you would have wisdom to share!π
To wrap up what Iβm saying is that kids do well with predictable structure. A clearly laid out room, predictable routine in class, whole class invested in teacher & student expectations. If they know what to expect & you donβt feed the derailers, thatβs like 75% of classroom management right there.
Yup.
Same, same, same. Give me a second...
Oooo, yes! Very good example!
In my most recent experience, I did talk with the classroom teachers, but thatβs bc we were a team at Anastasis, and we worked together to solve any behavioral issues. Less of βyour kids were awful today,β and more of βhow can we better meet studentsβ needs.β
In an elementary setting, classroom teachers & specialists have to be on the same team. That has to be made clear. Mutual respect regarding time (drop-off/pick-up) and working through concerns as a group is paramount.
Thanks.π₯Ή It's taken me far too long to start doing this. Just needed to jump in. Just trying to give back just a little bit for all the volunteer help I was given over the years. I have really miss interacting with kids, this is just what I needed. Hoping I work off the rust and show them my best.π
I do not complain to the homeroom teacher about misbehaving students in my classes. I handle anything that comes up and I only relay information that may affect how the rest of the day goes, or if they ask. It shouldnβt be on the homeroom teacher only to fix behavior issues.
As a classroom teacher I struggle with this. I canβt really do anything to make sure my kiddos are doing well in specials but I also have them more than any other teacher so I feel some responsibility. I do try to suggest things that I have found work with any group of students.
I remember hearing how different my 6th graders were for me vs another T & it was always negative. Like "why are they so bad for me?" But it was a hypothetical. The other T didn't really want to evaluate how he might need to change, just complain. I think that's just the mentality for some ppl.
Over FIFTEEN years ago, our late friend, Joe Bower, was writing and sharing work about how ineffective rewards and punishments in schools areβ¦ I would not be able to keep my mouth shut. Youβre a better person than I am!
I had a similar experience years ago, with a class with some very challenging behaviors.Transitions can be difficult for K students anyway, so I get that it was hard. But I agree that it's not the teacher's job to fix problems that happen when they're not there. Advise, maybe, and reinforce...
My opinion is influenced by middle school perspective . . . Arenβt specialists teachers too?? Classroom management in your space, in your subject, is your responsibility! I know they see students way less often, and also they need to be good at making connections with their rosters as community too
I get that it's hard as a T to not take it kinda personal as a "failure" that you aren't solving everything all the time. I wish there was more consistent emphasis on "you aren't going to get it right 100%, you have to grow your skills & collaborate w/ others". We ask kids to do it that way π€·π»ββοΈ
Trust me, it was not easy. It is definitely a challenging class, but I was biting my tongue a lot. Especially the recess part. I used the excuse that I am really rusty and like a deer in headlights at how quiet I was.π¬
+know what to do, maybe you have some ideas." Instead of ideas, they just defended the class and themselves.π€·πΌββοΈ
The one time, as a specialist, where I brought up class behaviors (and I wasn't the only specialists seeing it) the teacher got extremely defensive with us. I felt we were trying to be respectful, wasn't asking them to fix all the problems, more like a "we're struggling with your class and don't+
I agree 100%, but it is just so frustrating to hear that over and over again. One year I had a doozy of a class, those first couple of months I absolutely dreaded picking my kids up from specials every day.

Yup.

+really thinking there was no place for an elevator, which has me wondering if students with needs have to go to a different school, I'll be looking more closely at that-maybe they have ramps outside the building for each level? Kids getting rewarded for good behavior with mini marshmallows.π¬ +

So, today I volunteered in a local elementary school, which is something I've been meaning to do since we moved here 6 years ago. Since the hour I spent there today, I've been trying to not overthink about it, but I certainly left with observations and feelings. Also trying not to be too judgy+

I'm a cart teacher AND a tech teacher, so I do have my work email app on my phone. But, I'm thinking maybe I need to stop checking it on my phone, at least until work gets less hectic. I'm not missing important emails, but I am missing important details in them.
At least I made it more than a week into the new school year before I hit "every thought in my head must be posted on social media or sent in an email to someone" mode.
