  • Hello beautiful humans! Another week, another video and today I am taking you into my classroom. At the beginning of this school year, I was very focused on moving what I needed in and preparing for virtual learning. Now that I am in the classroom and doing both, I have added some new elements like lights and even my first plant! One of my favorite things to hear is that my students feel safe and relaxed in my classroom--that is all I could ever ask for. At the end of the day, decor doesn't create a safe space, you do, but there are still so many ways to create a physical space that feels inspiring and as my students like to say, zen. I hope you enjoy this little day in my life as a middle school teacher. Let me know what you would like to see next in the comments and we can chat! x Britt

    Whenever I get to those “meh” teaching moods, I turn to videos like this. Your passion, enthusiasm and optimism are so contagious, and they remind me why I got into teaching in the first place. The thought that you put into cultivating a welcoming classroom environment even though it’s virtual now is very commendable. The little details that you put into things add up and will definitely tell the students that this teacher values me. Keep doing the great work that you’re doing! Your channel is becoming one of my go-to channels when I’m feeling down and disenchanted.

    Ms. Brittany, This week was certainly a busy week for me in school and I did not have much free time. I love writing with all of my heart and it is a lovely passion bequeathed within me. I was a virtual student this week and I am rather enjoying the first semester of high school. I took a skills course in sixth grade and it was helpful. Your videos always manage to uplift me. I love you

    Hi Mrs Brittany, I am happy to see that your classroom is a nice setting and making it more roomy.
    I really think you are doing a great job by making sure your students feel safe when they arrive and that takes dedication.
    Also, I recently watched your Sunday self-care video a weeks ago and when you mentioned you have to take time for yourself and you put yourself last, I could definitely relate because I am usually an overly nice person who puts others above himself.
    Now, I am working on doing things that bring me joy but, it is still a huge struggle just because I don't want to appear as being selfish or a jerk.

      Are you talking about the SMART Board? If so, its probably best to contact your school's/district's IT dept. for help. They should be familiar with the technology used by your school/district as well as how to set it up. I say this as a school computer tech. These SMART boards require a few different things. You will need a projector, a video connection from your computer to the projector, and a USB "B" cable that goes from the SMART board to the computer. SMART Technologies has manuals for their products; you just need to know the model number of your board.
