LOVING this video. The hand movements, modeling, repeating, discussion are all just *chef’s kiss*! I will definitely be doing the butterflies book. I am so tickled at them clapping when you were done with the book. Side note: I love using that visual timer too.
I’m currently in school to be a teacher and your videos remind me of why I want to become a teacher. It really helps keep me motivated. Thank you for everything you do
Thank you so much for taking the time to create these videos for us in the midst of the everything else that goes into the beginning of the year. They are more helpful than you know. ♥️
Hi Mrs Call I'm a middle school music teacher in Ontario Canada. I don't have my first day back until the day after labour day. I have spent the last couple of hours printing cutting and laminating (as we do) and I have loved your videos. This one in particular was so special to see. Obviously I teach much older kids, but I am a mom of a 5 year old. She's entering Sr Kindergarten in September, and if her teacher is even a smidgen as kind, sweet and talented as you she will be super lucky. Your students are so lucky to have you. Take care and I wish you the best for the school year!
I just started watching your channel a few months ago, and I want to say that you give me so much faith in the education system! I always appreciate how you make learning fun and accessible for all!
I'm so glad your day was so positive and uplifting. My first day was today and it was extremely, incredibly rough. A lot of violent, defiance, and plain disrespect in 2nd grade. I did many things that I have taken from you as inspiration and everything was poorly received, they weren't interested. All they wanted to do was complain about how horrible and lame everything was, including the heart gift. It was so crushing. I am watching this vlog to hopefully rejuvenate my mental health and hope that tomorrow is better.
I'm so sorry you had such a rough day! I totally understand having a class be disrespectful and unappreciative for the things that you plan. I had some moments in my first grade class last year. I wonder if telling them how disrespected you feel and how hurtful and unhelpful those comments are. Your job is to help them learn and you can't do their job unless they are being respectful to you. Tell them that you went to college and did all the training that you need to help them succeed. But they do have to help you. It helped a little bit when I told mine this. Maybe you already did but it's just the advice advice I can give.
I love how you jumped right into content. I think that’s so smart so that the content doesn’t seem boring. Sadly kindergarten can’t just right in, but I’m trying for day 2 or 3 to be into the content and structure a lot more!
You Go Girl! You are on a roll with putting out these videos! It must feel amazing that you didn’t have to moved city/schools too! Have an Amazing New Year🎉
11:18 Lil homie thought He got away with that lol. I've been looking into being a teacher and these videos have been a big guide in helping me choose my path. I appreciate you and what you do.
Maylene, I taught first grade for 13 years, and then, for the last 14 years, I have homeschooled my own 5 kiddos. However, I still love watching different teacher RUclips channels. You’re just my favorite! You exude kindness, love, and encouragement! Praying that you have a wonderful school year with your new group of campers! ❤️🙏🏻
Teaching 1st grade as well. Loving it for over 20 years now. I am with an International school in Germany and just had a browse through RUclips to get Inso for my classroom setting when I found out about you. We are starting to go back in two and a half weeks. Will be starting with my classroom next week and conference and pd week right after. So looking forward for my this year little munchkins. As is my doggy who is a special trained school dog. Wishing you a happy and full of lovely moments school year. All the best from Germany, Ilka
Yay! The Book Tracker! My first day is this Wednesday, the 16th. I am planning on reading them First Day Jitters for sure. What do you put in your jitter juice? TFS ☺️
Today was our first day of school! It went well overall. I'm sure 4 hours of footage is extremely hard to cut down. I did appreciate the shorter vlog this time. Enjoy seeing you model things and definitely sharing the crafts and activities that you do that you find your kids have enjoyed.
You had soooo much energy! I hope my first day of school will be just as magical!! You are amazing friend! Happy first day of schoool - happy new school year!!!! 😍👏👏👏👏
I’m so glad you had the best first day, friend! Thanks for sharing! As a 6th year teacher I’m still always learning something new. I’ll definitely be using some of your call backs! Have the best year and I can’t wait to continue to follow ❤
I love your videos! I was wondering where is your butterfly template from that you use to have them make the little finger puppet? I can't seem to find a link. TIA!
Love youu! 🥰Do you have an affiliate link or code with Novel Effect? Also, can’t wait for all the other videos coming this year! 🤩You’ve uploaded so many already so thanks for all the hard work you put into these videos.
Do you sometime have a student sit right next to you at the kidney table if they have trouble staying focused and how do you have them do that since they are no stools next to you?
I watched your vlogs they are soo good I want to really collaborate with you .I am film maker and a professional video editor. I like to work with you❤
2024 FIRST DAY POSTED!
You: “what can you tell about Ms. Call?”
Kid: “DRINKING!”
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I want that little kid saying "yes I love it!!" As a sound 😂😂
As a homeschooling mom this was so helpful in setting the classroom tone in a fun way at home🎉🎉
I’m currently in school to be a teacher and your videos remind me of why I want to become a teacher. It really helps keep me motivated. Thank you for everything you do
Not this video healing my inner child. You’re such a great teacher!!

💯 agree 🎉

even though i’m about to be a senior these vlogs from teachers are always so entertaining to me and i love how bubbly and expressive you are!!
i LOVE this, thank you for showing us how you teach your procedures and everything in practice!
yeaaaa i may be crying just a little bit…just all the laughter, excited voices and just pure joy is like nothing else :( god i wish i was a kid again
Omg your “I just finished my book 😐” waiting for them to remember the tracker was hilarious. Knocked it out of the park 💛

It's bad enough that "Amazing" is THE most overused term in Social Media but when someone uses it TWICE in one passage, that is truly pathetic. 😣😂
@@versetripn6631 lol! I’m sorry you are so miserable! But I hope we can both agree, Mrs. Call is Amazing! 🥰
@@lynekerwan8775 dork
I love how you take pictures for parents on their child’s first day; so thoughtful ❤
11:18 Lil homie thought He got away with that lol. I've been looking into being a teacher and these videos have been a big guide in helping me choose my path. I appreciate you and what you do.
Have you decided if you are going to go for it?
Watching you teach makes me miss the 25 first grade first days I taught! Have a wonderful year🦋
I am a hugh schoil teacher and I just have to say, you are an amazing teacher. You are so inspirational!😊

I’d like to see you incorporate secret stories. Do you sing the song often? Thank you. I really enjoy watching you teach. 😊
That is so cool that we do the same Heggerty’s!
You inspire me every day.
This was so fun to watch! Thank you so much for sharing
This was so fun! So helpful for new teachers planning the first day of school. Great work!
Once again loving the short inspirational videos🎉 Have a great year..
Where did you get your dress?
Mayleen, would you mind sharing your butterfly link? So cute!
Loved!!! I start student teaching in a month and this video helped so much with easing my nerves!
This is fascinating to watch as 5th grade teacher!
question: do you get to pick the specific subject you get to teach when you are an elementary school teacher or do you teach everything?
where did you get that rolling board with the rings and paper?
Fantastic! I LOVE your videos! I appreciate everything you share. Thank you!
Do you have any suggestion for what to do for first grade morning meeting?
You are Amazing ❤
I love your videos! I was wondering where is your butterfly template from that you use to have them make the little finger puppet? I can't seem to find a link. TIA!
No template! Just draw a butterfly haha!
Loved this video soooooo much❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
Love youu! 🥰Do you have an affiliate link or code with Novel Effect? Also, can’t wait for all the other videos coming this year! 🤩You’ve uploaded so many already so thanks for all the hard work you put into these videos.
Call backs are always fun to hear
fantastic teaching and video production 🎉⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
You were doing michael heggerty! :)
When I was in elementary school in the first grade I acted up in class and got paddled in the hallway back in the 1970s.😊
Do you sometime have a student sit right next to you at the kidney table if they have trouble staying focused and how do you have them do that since they are no stools next to you?
Great video, very helpful, thank you. 🙂
Hahahah
I’m done with my book……. Yep 😐 19:00
You are SO WONDERFUL TO WATCH❤ You are inspiring me greatly! THANK YOU 🙏🏻. Would you be so kind to share your reflections?
Ok ok 0:34
