A video on lesson planning would be awesome! I am a special ed major at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and I totally would love to see that so I can learn more about it before I start teaching for myself! I also, would really really like it if you gave us pointers on outfits for school! I sometimes have a hard time choosing outfits that are good for elementary school. I currently work in a fourth grade classroom as a reading and math tutor so I need appropriate and stylish outfits!!! Thanks!
I never thought to email/call parents to say how great their child is! After watching this I emailed 10 parents just to say their child was being amazing! Thank you
She gets into her actual planning around 17:00 for those wondering. Loved the video! Just was looking for tips on how to lesson plan, being a new teacher myself Edit: she has a 101 for lesson planning. Very good.
Michelle, Thanks for making the effort to put all the links below. Such a great help. You can go right to them during your video to see details, saving or adding them to where ever and less chance of forgetting your amazing resources. Thanks a lot for all you share.
Hi Michelle! I absolutely love your videos. Do.you think you could make a video on grad school? I know everyone's experience can be different but I'd love to hear yours!
Full video!!!! Just started digital planning with my teacher planner and I love it! I made my own so I customized all my tabs and the number of them and my page templates! Life changing!
I’d love to see a planning video! Also, I’m a 20 year veteran and I still have those frustrating days. I lost my mind just last Friday when I caught a group of students behind my desk looking at my computer screen-which had private emails showing. I was livid! I can’t even remember what I said but when I cooled down we had a class discussion why they should never go behind my desk without permission. Now I will make sure to have that discussion at the beginning of the school year! Live and learn! You are an awesome teacher! ❤️
Yes!!! Please do a full and detailed video on lesson planning! Thank you in advance. I don't know how you do it especially now with grad school but boy am I glad you do :) :)
Your honesty about not being the best teacher one day was SO comforting for me to hear from a more experienced teacher. I am in my first year, and I beat myself up all the time about getting frustrated with my students.
@@myrandarosenbaum9332 lol, not teaching anymore XD That first year completely wrecked my mental health. I had to take FMLA for depression for the rest of the semester and then I signed my resignation papers. I had a lot of trauma that I needed to heal from at that time, and teaching kind of forced me to face it all at once. I'm doing much better now, working in the software industry, and considering returning to teaching in the future! Please take care of yourself
I love that you send emails to parents with positive things they did. My daughter isn't in school yet but as a mom that would make me feel so good that they are being good at school and would make me feel good that the teacher cares enough to take the time to tell me somthing good she did instead of just paying attention to the negative things like a lot of teachers do
I'm not a teacher, but I love your channel and am a mom of three and I love that you send positive emails to your kids' parents! My oldest is in first grade and his teacher added a nice note about him when she replied to a question I sent her and it honestly made my whole day!
I cannot possibly thank you enough for all that you do. I am a first year 3rd grade teacher and since I graduate college two years ago I am out of practice! Your ideas and tips are helpful and overall you make me feel so much more confident in my ability to do this. Thank you so much! I hope you have a wonderful school year! ♥️🍎
yes yes YESSSS please do a full video or videos (I know that's pretty demanding, sorry hehehe) on your lesson planning! I'm a high school biotech teacher for my first year and I'm still trying to find what the best lesson planning methods/tools/styles of organization are best for me and my courses! I know that you're a primary school teacher however I still find plenty of helpful tips and advice from your vlogs! Thanks so much in advance!!! - Ms. C
Yes, please make a video on digital lesson planning and your lesson planning process in general! I'm curious how much freedom you have to deviate from curriculum and, when you do add your own lessons, how you go about creating those lessons! I am a senior studying Elementary Education and I have been watching your videos since the your review of the pencil sharpener like two years ago haha. I absolutely love your videos and have found so many things that I want to incorporate into my own future classroom. Thank you so much for all that you do for other educators!
I use Bridgette's planner for college, life, and anything else that needs to be planned. I love it and I love her videos. Its awesome to see a local teacher on RUclips. I think I have seen u around.
Loved how you differentiated the hundred chart activity. Also, I agree that it's so important to build and maintain positive relationships with parents and it's awesome you've made time to do it! Gives me hope that I can manage my time well enough to do that also.
I would love a full lesson planning video! I’m currently a freshman in college majoring in Elementary and Special Education, and you’ve inspired me so much!!!
Hi Michelle I’m not so interested in a lesson plan video but for everyone who is interested go for it you have inspired me to be a teacher and I love your classroom
I LOVE my physical planner but contemplated a digital planner. So yes, show us what you do and how it works for you. I may move to digital next year!!! Thank you for sharing!!
you are one of my favorite youtubers and you always inspire me to do anything. i would love to be your student because you seem like such a fun teacher and your very hardworking. i watched your videos a few times before and was in love with them but this last week after your last video, i fell in love with your channel and couldn’t stop watching videos. i rewatched so many videos because i’ve watched literally all your videos.
Another great watch, I send positive mini certificates home for my students and your right it’s that relationship building that makes a world of difference. I liked the stickers you created on your planner. Smiles from NZ.
I’m so glad to have been on your brow journey with you. I remember you saying people were commenting on them not being equal and stuff aaaages ago and now your brows are amazing!! Also you are such an amazing teacher, you inspire me so much. I watch your videos all the time and they make me feel so excited and motivated to go and do my job!! I teach in the uk and I just love you (and your brows) so much. Sending you so much love xxxxxxxxx
Yes! please do a planning video and a sticker making video! That would be so helpful! I also purchased Bridget's planner. Love it, but would love some tips and tricks. thanks!
YAY!!! I'm super early! Your vlogs are my FAVORITES to watch by far! I'm a primary education major and have absolutely loved watching your journey thus far! Love you, Michelle.
You make wonderful / amazing videos. Love watching your teacher videos. Thank you for showing how you lesson plans. Yes please do a full video about lesson planing. I am a high school student.
Hi Michelle, I started watching your vlogs this month and I'm so happy I found your channel! I want to be a teacher, so it is so interesting to see what you're doing and learn from you. Have a great week!
I loved this. I'm a high school teacher and never do enough lesson planning because while we're still working on behaviours, we can't really learn much content. And I need time to relax and sleep too: the other day I found my first stress-induced grey hair, and I'm not even 30 yet. I've seen some digital planners, but I prefer the hardcopy planner. Especially since we need to keep and file our teacher diaries each year. The act of physically writing out what I'm doing with each class each day makes it easier to remember once I get into the class, and it's fairly easy to cross it out and write what we ended up doing if the original plan didn't work. If I had a tablet computer or had an online planner that was maybe kept in the cloud (so I could access it from school AND home), I would maybe consider using it. The furthest I've gotten is to make a term long planner for a particular class, especially when there's lots of school events and other things where we lose some class time to cover a topic. Days of the week across the top, week numbers down the side. I can grey out the boxes where we don't have lessons, as well as school events. Highlight lessons that will be used for a class exam or similar. Then map out what needs to be taught in which lessons to get through the topic. Sadly, I've rarely made it through completing and using the term outline.
Yes please digital lesson planning!! I recently because a student teacher because I was inspired by you! I am in charge of lesson planning and grading so I’d love to see the digital lesson planning as well as maybe some organization tips or tricks on how to grade effectively. You’re awesome!!
Question: Do you have to turn your plans in? I teach for a charter school. I have taught for 15 years. We were just given a new template. It is an entire page for each lesson. We have to write a KNOW/ SHOW for everyday. ( what the kids need to know/ What the kids need to show.) Written out standards, Written out materials. Written out I DO/ YOU DO/ and WE Do. Then we have write a summary paragraph and what we are using for an exit ticket explained in detail. I know I just have to suck it up and do it but man the time it is taking from my week. I feel that I have proved myself and should not have to write such detailed plans. EVERYONE has to do it so it not just me.
At my public school, we put our plans on a program called Eduphoria. Our admins can check them online. We include warm ups, objectives, higher order thinking questions, independent work, assessment. I think there’s more, but I can’t remember right now.
I see the benefit of writing detailed plans in teacher's college. It is important to get into the habit of thinking about these things. But after awhile you start to do it in your head and honestly, it becomes more for admin than yourself & students. And while templates can be helpful, I don't understand having to use a specific template. We all teach differently; we should be able to use what works best for us and our students. I only have to turn in detailed plans when I am being evaluated. I can't imaging having type up 7 pages of plans a day...
I will graduate from college next year and I will be English teacher for Primary kids I'm so excited and nervous anyway thanks for the amazing advices 👍❤ God bless you
I’d love a full video on lesson planning! 😍

the specificity of the plan seems like it would be a charter school requirement imo.
The education students at my college have to do such plans so they get into the habit of paying attention to detail
At my public school, we put our plans on a program called Eduphoria. Our admins can check them online. We include warm ups, objectives, higher order thinking questions, independent work, assessment. I think there’s more, but I can’t remember right now.
