Hello, Michelle! I am so proud of you for being planned ahead two weeks in advance and having your grading finished. I am so happy to see you happy with your teaching and enjoying your new school. I love checking in with you and seeing how you're doing. It really encourages me through my school year as well. Thanks for all you do! Have a wonderful week ahead! 💜
Love! Isn’t it the best feeling to leave for the weekend with no school work! Still too early in the year for that here, but I am getting there. I’ve been teaching 27 years and still take a lot of time to plan. I get it! Enjoy your weekend!
That's the way I plan too! I have all my math lessons on Google Slides, so this year, planning is a breeze. I also have all my Reading Literature and Informational lessons and study guides created as well. It takes time, but once they are done, it makes you feel really organized. I like to know what I'm going to do one week ahead :) That way, whenever there are changes, and there are always changes in schedule, I don't feel as overwhelmed.
I am not a teacher but the reason I love you and your channel are your routines. I love the state of the union concept and I love the regular movie nights. Sometimes I wish I had more structure in my life. I would be really interested in a video kind of going over routines you set yourself in or out of the classroom.
I just have to say that I’m absolutely loving your vlog-type videos!! Your other videos were good (and some of them so very helpful!!) but I love these videos!!
I read somewhere that Ritas will be opening a few shops in Austin!! There is a similar shop from Philly, Jim Jim’s Water Ice in Austin. Just FYI 😁 Also, great job at trying to find that work/life balance. I know Sometimes it is hard to do.
Boundaries: I’m curious about how you make sure you have healthy boundaries to avoid teacher burnout (eg. Many teachers clock out of their paid jobs and are expected to “volunteer” to fulfill expectations that they are NOT paid for).
Flippity has the option to manipulate names around and can be used for reassigning seats as well. Go to more option then scroll all the way down to play with names
Hi Michelle. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. It's been exciting waiting for new videos to drop. I can honestly say that every video gives me at least 1 practical idea that I can instantly apply. I was wondering if you could do a video on how you differentiate instruction? I was also wondering if you had figured out a way to display just the part you want on The First Five?
Thank you so much for your ideas!! You have inspired me so much to do more fun things for the kids. I wanted ask how your student of the week is going with the students picking the new SOTW? I got the idea from you and we started Friday.
Great video! I love that math idea of traveling on the subway between place values. I may use that in my own 4th-grade class! I was wondering what science curriculum your school is using?
You love kids and are excellent with them. Do you and Billy plan to add children (any way possible) to your family of five? (pets included) What has been one of the least expected things that you discovered with living in Texas?
Thanks for all you do to help other teachers with your RUclips videos! Yes, a video about how you plan out a week sounds great!
Yes. I'd love to see your planning process!
yes, to a full video of the planning...that is what I hate the most about teaching.I spend so much time planning.
That place value chart is EXACTLY what i needed for my daughter. She is struggling in 4th (AudHD, IEP, high support needs) and this is amazing!

We would all love a planning process video! Second year, third grade math teacher and trying to plan one week in advance!
I'd love to see how you plan!
I am glad you are back! It feels almost like the early days when you left the house and we watched you unlock and get in the car!😂😂
I love watching others plan!!!!

Dollar tree has that same 6-cup organizer for $1.25. Exact same quality!
Thanks Michelle. Your teaching tips help a lot. Yes, be kind to yourself and unwind with Billie.
Thank you for spreading the love about Start with Hello Week. I went ahead and registered my school so we can also get involved. ❤
So many great ideas! Thanks for sharing.
My fave is the state of the union meeting with your hubby 🙌
Planning PLEASE!!!

Thank you for the video! I'm envious of being the planning so far ahead of time. I've never been able to accomplish that!

Yes, please do a planning video.
