My husband is a union electrician and he's required to complete unpaid training. In fact, he's required to take time off work to complete the training so we loose money because his union doesn't do paid time off either. Amazing health care and retirement though, so we don't mind.
In Florida, we go back to school in early August. I would love to feel more prepared and less overwhelmed while getting ready for next year. I love your idea of accomplishing one task a day! Could you make a video explaining some of the things that are on your list and that you like to get done ahead of time, especially for teachers who are using July for most of our prep?
Any new teaching supplies you have discovered would be great to hear about. I had a big Amazon order after watching your video about classroom setup🤗🤪‼️
I do PD every day in the summer. I’m always reading a PD book everyday and finding online conferences. Twitter is also wonderful. Yes to the library video! I’m moving from fourth grade math and science to second! I’m most excited about all the books I’ve purchased this summer. My library needs a major overhaul whenever we go back.
I learn so much from all of your videos! I have two questions: 1. Where do you purchase your clipart? 2. Can you make a video about the 8 week health challenge you are doing? Answers to your questions: 1. Yes, keep filming your food! 2. Yes, make a video about your classroom library! Can't wait until the next video!
Yes! I would love to see how you organize your library. As a new teacher, this would be helpful. I like the idea of keeping a list of things that come to mind, as well as using those pockets of time to go through screen shots as I too am guilty of not going back and looking at them. I'm okay with the food. I like getting ideas for new food meals.
Yes, please to the library organization! ❤️ any and all of your organization tips... Would also LOVE seeing a video of your classroom setup this year....I know you're no longer allowed to vlog at school but it would be great to see how you are implementing guided reading, etc. into your classroom
Please! Please! Please! Keep the food part. I love it and I am definitely going to try the dish you made in this video. Also loved your idea for the stickers on the books. Thank you for continuing to make these awesome videos.
I want to start grad school online, but I don't know whether to start this Fall or should I wait until next year because of the situation we are going through right now? Thanks😁
I have been exercising everyday and eating pretty healthy. It would be awesome if you continued to food prep. I am loving the ideas and routines you have in place it definitely makes my teacher heart happy. hahahha
First year teacher here 🙋🏻♀️🍎 Thank you sooo much for these tips! The start of the year feels so overwhelming and nerve wrecking due to covid. Feeling a little more confident with your advice!
Hey Michelle...I love your food descriptions...they are great tips for those of us who are trying to eat right. And...I saw at my Dollar General store yesterday a cute sign that said: "Don't forget to put your positive pants on!" No joke! Our store just did a remodel and has more home decor...LOVE IT! So, go get that sign if you don't already have it!
Dear Michelle , I am a primary teacher from Italy I really love your videos because I improve my teaching methods and English skills at the same time . I am interested also so much in the American culture (I thought American people didn’t know how to cook) please challenge yourself and cook something Italian 🥰
You deserve it! Yoi are soooo consistent and helpful. I implement almost everything you do. I love it. And I recommend your videos to all my teacher friends. Especially new teachers
Yes, please do a library organization video! I'm getting my master's as a reading specialist and I have SO MANY BOOKS TO ORGANIZE, and I'd love some ideas! Also, you can always show your food ideas! I love them! Love your channel so much! Thanks for helping this student teacher get ready for her career! You're the best!
I enjoyed your video and vote for seeing and hearing about meals and snacks because you give me ideas I didn’t think of to prepare. Loved the idea of making a running list of “to-do’s” for preparing the classroom And then having it ready for when you want to implement. Thank you for your great videos!
I love watching these videos. I'm a little over halfway done with school to be an elementary teacher and I feel like these help prepare me for the real world. lol
I"m taking my Google For Educators Level One exam tomorrow. You probably have that already, but this is a big deal for me. I figure since we can't know what will happen in the new school year, I'd better up my game in terms of technology. Considering I'm near the end of my career, this sort of thing doesn't come naturally. I've been super inspired by your technology videos and have watched several of them many times in preparation. Wish me luck! That is my teacher challenge for the summer!
I love saving webpages directly from the browser to the notes app...no copy/paste, everything is in one location, and the link brings me back when I have time to follow up on my ‘to check out’ list. 👍
I have been reading a few PD books this summer and it has really helped refocus my creative energy as I plan for next year. Books are great, but I agree, connecting with other educators online/in person is a great way to get new ideas! I save a lot of ideas on my phone for later, but running them by other teachers helps me sort through what is REALLY worth trying. Thanks for sharing!
I was avoiding this video, but I enjoyed it! I think it's a nice balance of what to do during the summer. I've been doing similar things to you. I have reclaimed my schedule of working out, PD (which I'm done with by the way!!), and moderate room idea gathering. I use Google Keep to store my screenshots and move them to a Must Do/May Do list once it gets closer to my start date. Keep up your motivating work!
Hi I'm from London U.K and have always loved your videos. They inspire my classroom set up and layout. I miss your videos about the inside of your classroom and resources etc. Can you please post more of them, is it possible for you to share the inside of your classroom once you have it all ready for the next academic year?
I would like for the cooking, meals and food related stuff to continue being in the videos because of the reasons you stated in the video (finding out new recipes and other jazz).
For this month, I'm doing really intensive PD- I'm taking Mandarin Chinese lessons every other day for 2 hours, and doing a mental health course for Classroom Anxiety. I reinterviewed in my school and didn't get it cause I was up against someone with a lot more experience, so I feel like I need this PD to give me an edge in interviews....
I think it’s because you’re so organized or something because I LOVE these videos!! You’re so aesthetically pleasing and I have no desire to be a teacher.
I would love to see a video that's all about organizing your classroom library from start to finish. Also, if you have a check-in/check-out system for books, that would be very beneficial to know how you manage that process. Please keep showing us the food 😊. It helps with quarantine dieting lol. You are the BEST!!!
Love the videos, and yes keep including the food! It gives me great ideas too. Please do more videos on how to prep for next school year, do you have a list of things you get during the summer for your classroom? 🙂
First off, thank you for all of your content. I have learned a great deal about creating distance learning materials. Have you ever checked out the book bank? It is towards downtown Baltimore. The books are free. You just need to weed through them. I would love to see how you set up your library. And have you ever done videos on how to create tpt materials.
Hi Michelle! :) Yes, please post a video on how you set up your library. I love your labels! I have been looking for an easy, yet effective way to set up my classroom library. It was a goal I had last year, but never got to it. :( School starts for us in the beginning of August, so I'm hoping to be able to get into my classroom in the next 2ish weeks so I can start working on this... along with all of the other things on my "Back to School To Do" list. Lol. Thanks very much! :)
I would love to see your classroom library set up... I love your book labels and dots that match that go on the book itself (awesome idea)!! I also enjoy seeing what you make in the kitchen - it inspires me with different ideas..... As always - thank you sooo much for your inspiration...,, ☺️
oh! Please do a video about your library!!! I'd love to see how you organize it because i'm trying to create a classroom library myself as a first year teacher! :D
+Pocketful of Primary I hope that you had a Happy 4th Michelle . COVID bites us all regardless if we have it or don't have it . My Week at Summer Camp got cancelled this year . No Hellos , No activities , No Goodbyes , Nothing . I hope that things get better to where you get to have a full school year this year . I enjoy you so much . - Dwight
Guadalupe Ramirez that’s what i am thinking!! I am a teacher too and I don’t want to sound mean with what I’m about to say, but I have a life and a family to dedicate my free time too! Specially now, life isn’t just work, it is not healthy
Only in teaching would we hear the words, “Required” and “Unpaid” in the same sentence.
My husband is a union electrician and he's required to complete unpaid training. In fact, he's required to take time off work to complete the training so we loose money because his union doesn't do paid time off either. Amazing health care and retirement though, so we don't mind.
As a teacher, I can say that some of my non-teaching family and friends also have similar requirements from time to time.
well not ONLY as a teacher, but yes. haha
A lot of jobs actually have this issue
Love Seeing the food gives me ideas and motivation to eat more then just cereal.
More than*
Life WithAmber there is nothing wrong with that
Same. My meals definitely don't look adult-ish 😅
But tbh cereal is awesome
Lol
Book organisation video would be great. Love your videos
Yes I love seeing your food because I get ideas ❤️
“Do you screenshot tons of random things never to return to them.”
👀 *looks around suspiciously*
🤷🏼♀️ who me?
Your facial expression when you said distance teaching about summed up my thoughts on it.😂
In Florida, we go back to school in early August. I would love to feel more prepared and less overwhelmed while getting ready for next year. I love your idea of accomplishing one task a day!

Yes please we would love to see a library organization video! YES keep showing the food it's gives us ideas for variety!! Thank you 😊
Any new teaching supplies you have discovered would be great to hear about. I had a big Amazon order after watching your video about classroom setup🤗🤪‼️

I love that it’s mostly other teachers watching your videos and then there is just me a 13 year old that has been watching you off and on for 3 years😂

Would love to see a video about the structured play in your classroom! I think that would be a great thing to incorporate in many classrooms!
I would LOVE to see a classroom library organization video. This is definitely something I could use some big help with
Love your honesty, all the ideas you pass on, how clear you talk, and your practical cooking is.
Target is putting out school supplies? I am an 11 year old kid, and I love going back to school shopping!!! YOU ARE SO INSPIRING!!
I know! Me and my mom were walking in target the other day and I was so excited!!
Yes please keep sharing food!!!!!!
Please! Please! Please! Keep the food part. I love it and I am definitely going to try the dish you made in this video. Also loved your idea for the stickers on the books. Thank you for continuing to make these awesome videos.
You are an inspiration to every educator. Thank you for always sharing your ideas with us.

Yes, I love seeing your food! Lol! Thanks for the video! I love your library labels and my kids do too!
I love seeing food,ideas because I am also trying to eat healthier.

Food ideas are great. Love yoyr July & August challenge ideas. Hope you and Bridget had lots of fun.
I would like for the cooking, meals and food related stuff to continue being in the videos because of the reasons you stated in the video (finding out new recipes and other jazz).

Where are you taking mandarín classes?
I think it’s because you’re so organized or something because I LOVE these videos!! You’re so aesthetically pleasing and I have no desire to be a teacher.
That's very true. I watch her videos and I can see the level of organization and planning that helps her stand out above the rest.
What a great video! It’s so important to prepare and get ready for whatever September brings. Thank you once again for an upbeat and useful video.
OMG I’m so obsessed with what teacher educators eat and you really need to be a coach. Zucchini that’s what my friends eat.
Yes to sharing the library system! I love lists, I need help with organizing my ideas for the classroom if you have any ideas.
I would love to see a video that's all about organizing your classroom library from start to finish. Also, if you have a check-in/check-out system for books, that would be very beneficial to know how you manage that process. Please keep showing us the food 😊. It helps with quarantine dieting lol.

I would love to hear your ideas on your classroom library with COVID. Will you sanitize books, let kids browse physically or digitally, etc.
Would love to see a library organization video!
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS I was hoping that you could show a new library set up video
I would love to see how you do your library and if at possible if you could talk about how you keep the books organized at home during the summer.
Love seeing your food. It inspires me to eat healthier.
Love your videos! It would be great if you could take us through the creation and the upload of a tpt product!
Your videos are always so inspirational. Thanks for sharing what you’re doing and how you plan to do it!
