@WalkrStalkrCon My daughter bought a dead mouse in a jar. After that she convinced my friend to put her dead bunnies in jars with the formaldehyde solution. Yeah she’s a little odd.

A5: I haven't explored the Master's Programs much. If I went that route, I would pursue Masters of Education. #ap3040

@Ms_Andrews Thats interesting. Definitely a way to express your creativity. #ap3040

A4: All I've ever wanted to do was teach, so I don't see myself leaving after working so long and hard to get the job. If I had to leave teaching, I would continue with my love of photography. #ap3040

@drzimmerle We're staying here. Im too old to move again! If my husband has to move, he'll move alone and I'll stay here unless he goes somewhere awesome! #ap#3040

A3: The salaries really don't surprise me. I've lived all over the nation and my pay has been drastically different in each state. I have no questions about it. I've learned not to ask questions about pay, just accept things as they are. #ap3040

@JasmineVillers that is a little surprising considering how much junk people talk about montgomery county schools. #ap3040

A2: A good support system is key. Open communication with other teachers and parents is a good start. Being allowed to have a say in your classroom will keep many teachers in their job.#ap3040

[Candi Hardin @candi_hardin]

@JasmineVillers yes. Teachers often spend their entire check on supplies and other items for the students in their classrooms.

[Candi Hardin @candi_hardin]

A1: Many teachers quit due to getting burned out. It turns out to be more work than they anticipated and lack of a good support system. #ap3040

I am Candi. My favorite TV series is The Walking Dead. #ap3040

A6: Young kids enjoy talking about themselves and their family. I keep it new by asking them to write about their weekend or share news. We also had share circles where each student got to share one exciting thing. Everyday was an adventure. #1stchat

@MissStacyKozub I love taking kids to the zoo. The kids wanted to be in my group because I always had a camera and took tons of pictures of them with the animals in the background and gave them to their parents. #1stchat

A4: I love field trips. The last one I went on was to an old one room schoolhouse in AZ. The kids were so amazed at how things used to be. You could feel the excitement in the air from these young minds. I can't wait to start doing it again.

@Woods1stgrade @Seesaw I loved when my students worked on animal projects. They learned about so many new animals and were really excited about sharing all they knew.#1stchat

A2: I don't like the exit ticket idea. Maybe because I am used to working with SPED kids. I'm able to get them engaged and open up when they realize I'm a normal person. We talk about our pets, family, food, fun things, and get to know each other. #1stchat

forgot to hashtag my answer.
A1: since I'm not teaching yet, I have no surprises. In the past I have always incorporated holidays into the lesson making sure not to offend anyone. #1stchat

A1: Since I am not teaching yet, I have nothing planned. In the past I have incorporated holidays into the lesson without offending my students. Its always fun.
