Woooo! I teach high school but teaching in the content area that you are SO passionate in makes the job a lot more easy 😄 hoping that the switch to the older kids is easy and fun!!
I taught a self-contained fifth-grade classroom my first year of teaching and my second year moved to teaching fifth and six math science and social studies, and I’m certified through eighth! I absolutely love it! I will say I feel like it is more prep for me on the front end then when I taught ELA along with everything else, but on the back end it is less work.
Congrats!!! So exciting! I teach elementary art and I can tell you firsthand that teaching a content area you are passionate about makes a world of difference. You will do amazing!
I am about to wrap up my 25th year of teaching middle school. I currently teach 7th grade social studies and absolutely love it. It definitely takes a special person to teach middle school. My advice would be to start strict…you can always lighten up later in the year, but it’s hard to go the other way around. I can wait to see where this road leads you! Congrats on your new position!
soo excited for you!! also its crazy how similar we are. I am in north georgia as well and student taught in fifth, my favorite thing to teach was social studies and i never saw myself wanting to teach middle or high until i was in fifth and i would love to gace up eventually and also just teach social studies! cheer coaching has also been something i’ve always been interested in too so i hope you share more about that next year!
Congrats! I’m a 2nd year middle school teacher and I love middle school. They not only drive me crazy, but are so much fun. The relationships you build are amazing to me! You need just as many routines and expectations as you would in elementary. They need to know how you want them to do everything. I suggest start strict and consistent and you can always ease up later on. They need to know there are consequences for their choices.
Congratulations! I started college as an elementary major, but after a couple years switched to middle grades bc I realized that I loved science and didn't want to teach all the other subjects. I was nervous about teaching older kids, but doing some subbing in elementary schools confirmed that elementary was not for me.
I’m currently in 8th grade and it’s so fun to get to have real conversations and just learning about history and all the materials we can use is so fun!
I'm in school to teach middle grades ELA/social studies, and I can't wait to watch your content more than I already to and relate to it! I'm in Georgia as well, so if you have any tips let me know!
In the middle with EM??? EM in the middle??? IDK lol but kudos to you for going with your gut and doing what makes you happy! Can’t wait for the classroom set up vids😊
