Chrysanthemum is a mouse who grows up loving her unique name—until she goes to school. The other mice tease her for having such a long and unusual name. That is, until they meet their music teacher, who has a fantastic and flowery name of her own. First, we made a Flower Garden of Names. I wrote the names of Chrysanthemum, plus many of our family and friends’ names on strips of paper. I drew a simple flower petal template and traced it onto a sheet of white paper, then photocopied it onto different colored cardstock. Next we did a math activity. Then we ordered them from most to least. Next, I gave her a card with a, e, i, o and u on it and we identified the vowels in all of the names, putting a Unifix Cube on each vowel. We sounded out the names without their vowels. This reminded The Queen Bee that there is a song on LeapFrog: Talking Words Factory about vowels. Job Interview Tips. What’s Here If you’re searching for a teaching job in 2015, this page will help you prepare for interviews and put your best foot forward.
The main purpose of this page, though, is to help you really evaluate whether a school will be a good fit so you can get the right teaching position for YOU. Who Am I To Give Advice? I’ve changed schools a lot and have been on 14 job interviews during my teaching career: I was offered every position on the spot except two. An uninformed person might conclude that I’ve just got it like that, but the truth is, I was fortunate to have sought positions during extreme teacher shortages. My advice on this page comes from that perspective, so I’m really not the best person to advise you on landing a position that hundreds of other teachers are vying for.
What To Wear My personal opinion is that a prospective teacher should dress more formally for an interview than for the actual job itself. Tips for Landing a Job Interview 1.
