I want to say this in the most respectful way possible. You act like a Kindergartener. And, there is nothing wrong with that! It's just great... Your calm and gentle voice, the way you move from one activity or idea to another, the way you take in your environment and react, the way you verbally examine, your level of energy, your level excitement for activities, your hastiness in saying no and moving forward, the way that you slow down to think out loud to move forward. I'm sure that you are a wonderful teacher. Thank you for all that you do!
I've been teaching Kindergarten or preschool since 1998, with a few breaks for older grades and to stay home with my little ones. I watch your First Week of School video EVERY YEAR because I love your take on how to start the year in a positive way, and your enthusiasm is infectious! Thank you so much for sharing all of your ideas on youtube!
Ok I’m 1 minute in and I absolutely love you already just the way you are singing instead of talking to try and pump yourself up. Reminds my of myself :p
Being a mom of a child who is bearly going to start kindergarten this helps me so much to understand and gives insight as to the types of activities and lessons the children will be learning ❤️ thank you for sharing
I love this!! Can you do a video like "A Day in Kindergarten" where you walk us through a day and what exactly you do in order? As an ECE student, I find your videos so helpful!
It has been a blessing to find your channel. You're awesome. I am starting my first year of Kindergarten and I have been taking notes. Thank you so much! It is do helpful!
Hi Monique. Thanks for all the practical stuff in your video. I think next year will be easier to do the room talk on the first day because I will have a better idea of what happens in the room. I also like the Kissing hand. I didn't realize how brave they are being and this book really addresses that social skill that they are not telling anyone about and keeping it all inside. That was really a plus for me. I see that you have rules for how to go to the standing table and you have them posted on your wall next to your schedule could I get those? I would like to see how you have worded them so that I can create the same for each part of the room that they have to use. Also, how do you get away with the playdoh not landing on the floor? If I don't have any manipulatives excepts blocks and shapes what should I buy first to have some good centers to practice centers with.
Love this! And you are so right... establishing relationships, procedures and expectations is so important the first couple of weeks. It really helps the students build their trust in you and it helps them to be more confident in their school work period. Thank you
I’ve just gotten my first job as a kindergarten teacher, so naturally I’m nervous, but your videos have made me feel so much more confident. Thank you!!
MONIQUE!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS!!!! I am moving back to K this year and it's been 4 years. Thank you for posting all the links and sharing your ideas! You are the best!!!
hey my son and i just watched your video.... he was like wow.. i am home schooling him this year for kindergarten he turns 5 on sept 19... when the video was finished he clapped his hands and gave you a thumbs up...
Girl you are the bomb! I am a 16 year vet and will be teaching kinder for the first time next year! I will be implementing this!! Please keep posting!!
Thank you for this informative video and helpful links...I'm a Filipino and I am dreaming of teaching in US someday, so this video is practically a big help for me to have a little idea of how to teach in US...Thank you so much🥰🥰👍
Heeey, Monique. My name is Matheus and I'm from Brazil and Im going to star as a teacher for the kindergarten this week for my first very time and your videos are really helepfuls!! Thanks a lot for it
Fellow Kindergarten teacher here who just found your channel and I live it < typo, (I meant love it) but 'live it' is also accurate so I will leave it. Just curious... what do you have the kids do when they first arrive on the first 3 days? Just sit on the carpet and talk until you are ready to begin... I mean as the families stagger in and you have them say goodbye and keep their backpacks on so you can do a whole group lesson on the unpack- there is sure to be a time difference between when the first child arrived until when the last child comes in- so where do you have the children congregate and what are they doing to keep occupied as you usher in the other students?
So incredibly helpful!! I’ll have K-1st in my class this year but a lot will be for all kiddos. Thank you for sharing your amazing ideas! Questions: what do you use for math and science? Thank you! 😘
I am set to graduate next semester May of 2021. I don't know what grade I will be teaching next year if course but I will definitely keep this in mind. BTW I shared you on my personal FB page via Teachers Pay Teachers. You were teaching your students about what a goal was. They shared it then I shared it. It waa super cute. Thank you for that video. BTW you inspired me to start my own vlogs although I am an aspiring teacher right now.
Hello!! I love all of your videos! You are so helpful! Would you be able to post a video about what your "Meeting Time" looks like??? I would love to see what you do. Thanks!
Love this!!! I’m transitioning from 1st grade to Kinder next year (2020-21)! Please do a classroom tour as well as a day in the life of Kinder video please please please
I am struggling on being positive as kindergarten teacher everyday. I mean, as human being, sometimes our life is up and down. Being negative or have negative thinking from home make me hard to be cheerful in kindergarten. Hope to get know a lot about kindergarten teacher from youtube.
Hi , I love this video.. can you please do a video about ' behavior management in class room' ? I love to know about how you manage the children's behavior.
Hi, love your first week of kindergarten and will be buying your stuff on TPT. Do you have videos on how to teach kindergarten reading and math common core standards. Thx
How are you doing this year? Are you still teaching K? This is my third year teaching and your previous videos helped as I was setting up my classroom and centers my first couple of times. I would love to see more videos.
Please don't laugh, where did you purchase the silver chrome hardware used for hanging charts on your whiteboard. I have limited board space and I would love to purchase one to hang chart paper.
Hi I just started a contract until the end of the year in Kindergarten. I was doing 4/5 from September but the teacher came back from mat-leave. I am BRAND new to kindies, basically only supply experience with them. I want to document their work via pictures and google. Do you have any experience doing this? What ways do you organize your student's work? Great videos BTW, cheers from up here in Canada!
We have an open house, a day where students come half of the day (about 3 hrs) that is on a friday, and the following Monday is their first full day. What should I do during the half day? I was thinking of doing routines and procedures that we do on a full day and just going over those or should I only focus on what they only do in the morning during a regular schedule instead?
I’m teaching kindergarten for the first time in public school this coming year. Very informative and I love your personality and energy. Started following you. 🫵🏼🌹🌹
Hi! Monique..l love your Channel..but why you speak so fast? Do not you use spaces between the phrases to speak, comma, or period? I'm learning English and I use subtitles to understand you.🙄
I want to say this in the most respectful way possible. You act like a Kindergartener. And, there is nothing wrong with that! It's just great...

As an ECE teacher rest assured this is definitely a compliment!

So true...the conversation eventually shifts to asking them what they are supposed to do next...thank you for sharing! Have a great week!!
But what does she mean by expectations ?
MONIQUE!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS!!!! I am moving back to K this year and it's been 4 years. Thank you for posting all the links and sharing your ideas! You are the best!!!
if its okay to ask, are the materials you use to decorate your classroom provided by the school? or do you buy them yourself?
hey my son and i just watched your video.... he was like wow.. i am home schooling him this year for kindergarten he turns 5 on sept 19... when the video was finished he clapped his hands and gave you a thumbs up...

Where did you get the pictures of the school supplies that they color each day?
Why no more videos!!! I love your stuff
I know this is an old video but do you have a resource link to that "paper" paper where you talk about how to use paper? TIA!
Please don't laugh, where did you purchase the silver chrome hardware used for hanging charts on your whiteboard. I have limited board space and I would love to purchase one to hang chart paper.
Hi I just started a contract until the end of the year in Kindergarten. I was doing 4/5 from September but the teacher came back from mat-leave. I am BRAND new to kindies, basically only supply experience with them.

Great videos BTW, cheers from up here in Canada!
Where have you been ! Miss your videos
Do you teach extended day Kinder? If you do what does your schedule look like?Thanks!
Where did you find the welcome to my classroom worksheet?
We have an open house, a day where students come half of the day (about 3 hrs) that is on a friday, and the following Monday is their first full day. What should I do during the half day? I was thinking of doing routines and procedures that we do on a full day and just going over those or should I only focus on what they only do in the morning during a regular schedule instead?
Love your energy wish you could be my teacher😊😊
How old are they? For which age of kindergarten this tasks are? I'm not sure if I heard it anywhere in a video 😅
I’m teaching kindergarten for the first time in public school this coming year. Very informative and I love your personality and energy. Started following you. 🫵🏼🌹🌹
Hi! Monique..l love your Channel..but why you speak so fast? Do not you use spaces between the phrases to speak, comma, or period? I'm learning English and I use subtitles to understand you.🙄
Change the playback speed to 0.75x and it’s a bit easier to understand her. Hope that helps.
@@deecee90. Thanks so much👍👩🏫
Leticia Brandao no problem
No more videos?
Hiii, where can I access my first day of kindergarten template?
thank you !
Could you use these for first grade too?
