Hi, Katie! Just wanted to say how much I enjoy your videos! ❤ I'm teaching 1/2 day K5 this year and much of my planning, etc. happens after my students go home for the day. I enjoy being able to take my time and go over materials, set up for the next day, weigh skill levels, etc. since this is my first year teaching this grade and it's so foundational. I'm so glad you're enjoying your stovetop espresso! ❤ I make mine most mornings with 2/3 milk 1/3 espresso... occasionally a little heavy whipping cream. 😋 All about the caffeine here. 😂
I have taught in my current district for 24 years. They give us a workday every quarter but it is after all grades are due. We have requested it be before but they haven’t accommodated us. It would be nice to have two days before the students come back for the new years but no. We started on a Monday and it was a long week. However, we did have two days of two hour delays due to snow. So God was on our side. We get a week before school starts but filled with lots of meets that truly feel like our specialist and coaches could do in house. I’m glad to see you getting sponsors and that you’re feeling better. Your husband and you are a cute couple. I hope the baby shower was a success! Happy New Year!
hello! i love all of your videos and have been watching since i was in college! i now am a first year teacher in third grade too! we just did our winter testing and my reading scores aren’t where i want my students. could you show a video of what you do for small groups if you do that? or a place for activities? i’m kind of struggling with what i should be doing during that time
I wish we had had a workday before the kids came back in January. We had one day, and it was training all day at another school in the district. No time in our rooms at all before the kids came the very next day. Thankfully I had done a great deal the days before we got out for Christmas break that helped me be prepared. It’s been a smooth return though.
We had 6 TP days at the BOY and one after winter break. We were suppose to have it in the Monday back from break but our lovely district changed it, in October, to our last TP day to the Friday after winter break. I didn’t hate it though. Nice to have M-Th and then a chill Friday.
Hey, Katie! Did you happen to upload this video to the wrong spot? I was going to binge watch some of your old videos and went to your "teacher vlog" playlist and noticed this video uploaded 20 hrs ago with only 3 views. When I go to your main page it doesn't show up. I just wanted to let you know because I love your channel and want you to get as many views as possible. Glad you're feeling better and hope the new year is treating you well. ❤️
@@katieogorzelec hey Katie! I had it as unlisted for a bit so the sponsor could watch through and check it before setting it to publish! Thanks for watching my old videos 🥰🥰🥰 This one is live and ready now!
@@mrs_katie_in_elementary Oh okay! That makes sense. I was just early to the game then haha. I currently work in healthcare and I'm in the process of making the switch to elementary education. I can't wait to be a teacher. Your videos have been a great resource for me and I truly enjoy your content. ❤️
We had a professional development day full of trainings on the day we came back. We had zero time in our classrooms to work before kids came back on Tuesday. ☹️
Hey! Can you send the link for that flowchart from Third Grade Guru? I went through her products and didn’t see it, not sure if it’s a part of a bundle? Thanks!!
@@fun_in_fifth I think she includes it at the beginning of all her bundles in the description pages… I got it specifically from the beginning of the authors purpose bundle

Your coffee always looks so good. I'll have to check out the beanies. Its getting cold here.
Love the at home footage as well. Would like to see what home projects you and David are up to.

We have one teacher plan day before school returned from winter break and just a few before the school year begins.
Glad you got one!
Teacher here! We dont get any plan days after Christmas break. We have to start teaching the Monday we return! You are so lucky!
@@jessicaryan6887 wow! I don’t know if I could do it!!

We have no workdays coming back from Christmas break and the workdays before school begins are packed with meetings with little time in the classroom.
Love your videos and was wondering if you'd link your sweater? It's super cute and I always love finding out about fun Amazon finds ❤

@@monicavasquez304 that’s an interesting way to schedule them! Glad it worked out!
@ Right? Parents, tchrs and all others involved were asked to vote in October for this chance. Quite different but we just roll with it. ☺️🙏🏼
We had to give up our planning day after break here in Hillsborough County due to the hurricanes!
@@TanyaAnderson45 aww man! I’m so sorry!
