    Please remember, some teachers are moms with families, some are single moms, some are wives with supportive partners, some are not. Teaching is hard and it is easy to burn out. Don't compare yourself to other teachers, do what you can with what you have and please don't stress yourself out with massive classroom transformations and obsessive planning. At the end of the day these kids need a reliable adult with an open ear and arms to hug them if needed. Don't get so caught up in the google docs or how you look on paper that the kids miss out.

      Agreed. We all need to give ourselves some grace. Having taught for 32+ years, I can tell you that this profession will exhaust as much time as you are willing to dedicate. This can make for an extreme lack of balance between personal and professional time. Remember that work is just a piece of the pie. Family time is so much more important. Don't allow this to give you anxiety. It is unrealistic and unsustainable.

    I love learning Spanish with Duolingo. It is so much fun. It is visually so much fun, easy to understand, and they even use that in our middle schools so I heard students excited about learning. We have other languages that I wanted to learn like basic words to say to students (good morning, listen, hello, and etc). Duolingo had Swahili and knowing a few words brought such a smile from my students.

      First of all, I LOVE Spanish! I took 6 years between eighth grade and my first year of college, but that was many years ago. 😉 I now use Duolingo every day to refresh/improve my Spanish; however, what has helped me the most are my daily conversations with my Salvadoran husband during our just over four years together. (Our second wedding anniversary is July 23. 🥰) Regular communication is hands-down the best and fastest way to learn a language!

    • @cheyennemoore8380
      @cheyennemoore8380 Месяц назад

      Awesome! I came here to say this since I've been keeping up my Spanish practice using Duolingo and it's been a nice way to have one goal done each day. And yesterday I noticed how much vocab I remember now than when I was studying it in school. I can actually put it into practice now, but I've also heard good things from babbel and italki. I like the latter for learning ASL. Enjoy! ​@@PocketfulofPrimary

    You spent money that benefits your new job and to further education which is a plus. A no-spend month is always flexible because of life. Having goals and doing your best is all we can do.
    Life is tough enough, so we need to give yourself grace.
    You are doing so well in always trying to improve.
    Way to go.

    Hi Michelle! Congratulations on heading back into the classroom. I am a local teacher in the Austin area. I know restocking a classroom can be a lot. So I wanted to let you know about a place just south of Austin in San Marcos Texas. It is called The Teacher Reuse. They take donations from schools and retired teachers who are giving away stuff. It is a nonprofit where teachers can get items for free. You should check them out.

    Happy Wednesday, Michelle! Congratulations on passing your ESL exam and achieving your certification! I wish you well on the upcoming TAG professional development sessions you have. I always enjoy seeing how you did with your monthly goals; I think you definitely met the no spend goal. For language practice, I love the Duolingo app for practicing Spanish. I just use the free version, but sometimes the app gives you a free trial for the paid version. I hope Billy's car issues improve soon. I always enjoy hearing about your monthly books. I am reading Tiny Habits that you recommended. I just finished two biographies. I am still working on 7 Steps to a Language-Rich Interactive Classroom. It is a PD book from my county last year and it is very helpful for English Language Learners, but really it is just best practice for any students. The Ninja Creami looks high quality, fun, and cost-effective. The mix-in possibilities looked fun, as well! I hope you and your family have a great Fourth of July. I can't wait to see your next vlog! 💜

I ended up going to Babbel for now but might give Duolingo a go in the future at some point. Wow, you're also on a reading roll! That's fantastic! 🎉 I'll have to check out that book because I haven't read it. But, I hope you and your family have a wonderful July 4th holiday tomorrow as well... stay safe and enjoy all the festivities! 😍

    Wow, my whole food plant based food diet runs around $150 to $200 a week. I'm doing no spend July. No new classroom materials or clothes. I'm returning to the classroom after being an interventionist. I gave a lot away 5 years ago, not restocking. Using what is at school. Retiring in 3 years.

    • @PocketfulofPrimary
      @PocketfulofPrimary  Месяц назад +1

      Yes, I have a bunch of food intolerances which means anything processed is twice as expensive as regular food, such as bread. Because I don’t have time to make everything from scratch I spend about $150 per week on groceries just for myself. It’s nice to know I am not the only one!

    I have to say I’m so glad that you are teaching again. I have never myself wanted to be a teacher but I used to watch your videos when you started out teaching and I loved seeing your passion for what you were doing and your genuine care for your students. Then when you stopped teaching and your passion shifted to teaching teachers for me it just lost a bit of something.
    I have checked in on what you were doing every so often and when I recently saw that you had videos out about getting back into teaching it excited me quite a bit. You should ALWAYS pursue what makes you happy but I’d be lying if I didn’t say I am glad that once again includes seeing you in the classroom again.

    My one and only grocery savings tip i use right now is that sometimes I'll make a Walmart order and not put it through. Then I'll go to Aldi and use my Walmart order as my shopping list and compare the prices. If its cheaper at Aldi i buy it there. If not, i leave it on the list and put the order through once i leave Aldi. Its not as complicated as it sounds and saves me a few dollars every time.

      I'm completely aware of how J is pronounced in Spanish, just for the record 😅 I know Jimenez has ancestry primarily tied to Spanish and Portuguese origins, but I know there are other ancestries tied to it as well so I didn't assume it would be pronounced with Spanish letter sounds, if that makes sense.

    Congrats on passing your ESL test. Tests and certifications are so expensive! Not to mention needing transcripts for new jobs. I also have a Ninja creamy that my sons bought me almost 2 years ago for my birthday. I didn't use it much while I was finishing my teaching degree, but I have been using it a lot the past month or so. I like being able to have different flavors without spending on larger containers. Mine came from Wal-Mart (my boys all worked there at the time, so I think they used their discounts) and came with 4 containers and I ordered 4 more, so we have 8 for 5 people. Unfortunately, July will probably go by too quickly, and I start back in the middle of August, with a few days before that!

      The biggest change has been The Science of Teaching Reading exam. It can be daunting if you're new to teaching reading because of all the terminology, but it is really important for teachers to know thay info. There's some great videos on RUclips breaking down all the terminology so that can be a way of studying. Playdough to Plato also has an excellent paid training.

      For the certification you're talking about, is it the TESOL endorsement? I'm actually completing the TESOL program this year to add to my current teaching license. I was trying to figure out if you and Michelle are referring to that or something different? Thanks!

      @@eyobanion Thanks! In my state it's called TESOL. Do you mind if I ask- so you're a current teacher needing to obtain the endorsement, right? I'm wondering if you have to take any coursework for it or because you're currently teaching in a classroom and have experience working with ELL students, you don't need the coursework and only need to take the exam?

      @@maryelizabeth1443 I am a Special Education Inclusion teacher. Because I am new to the district, and it wasn’t a previous requirement, I am in the midst of finishing my last two courses. I think, but not sure, I am able to test out. My masters degree is in Deaf Education, so many of these “courses” cross with courses I took while earning my degree. However, to ensure I am prepared for any final testing, and because I don’t have intensive experience with any language or 2nd language other than ASL, I am taking the courses to be prepared.

    Hi Michelle! I love your videos. You really inspire me to be more productive and grow as a teacher. I'll be teaching 4th/5th grade resource rokm this upcoming school year and also some in class support. Im assuming the in class support will be for science/social studies and the resource room is math/ela. I'm going to my new school next week to meet with my principal and some colleagues. This will be my 5th year teaching, but as mentioned, I'm in a new school/district. I've taught 4th before, but not really 5th. I did a leave replacement in 5th for an in class support teacher in May 202p, so that's why I say not really 5th. Lol. I look forward to seeing how this upcoming school year goes for you, and if you know anyone who teaches resource room and can give me advice, please let me know. Thanks!
