I am so glad to see that I am not the only person intimidated by Starbucks. I never know how to order when I go in! Enjoy your Spring break. You need the rest. Congratulations on your 50th vlog. I have enjoyed all of them and have watched a few of the organizational ones several times! Feel better.
Awesome vlog and yahoo for a flower from knuckles! Awwww yahoo for inviting chuckles and knuckles to lunch bunch!!!!! So special - they will so remember you!
I'm a first year teacher over in Australia and I am rewatching your old vlogs during our term break. I feel so validated and like I am not the only one facing all the frustrations and difficulties from being a teacher re student behaviours etc. I'm learning so many lesson ideas and organisational tips from your videos. Thank you Michelle!!
You're so great Michelle. Don't feel intimidated by the Starbucks menu. I'm a Starbucks Barista/Math Teacher. It's not as complex as it looks. Most baristas will help you if you ask. I know you get a Iced Coffee with French Vanilla swirl from Dunkin Doughnuts and some things that are similar to that at Starbucks are Coconut Cold Brew, Vanilla Bean Creme Frapucinno, and an Iced Vanilla Latte . I stick with Americanos (Hot) but that's just me. It's strong and will keep you going all day but theres no sugar in it but it could be a good pre-cruise switch.
I always order Starbucks from the app! Gives you time to choose what you want and then you don't have to talk to anyone when you go inside to grab it. Happy Spring Break :)
Watching your videos has seriously inspired me! I am a third year teacher, and while I LOVE my job, I tend to get really tired around this time of year (as I'm sure you totally understand). I just found your channel and have been binge watching your videos. You have given me several ideas and have motivated me to get areas of my classroom reorganized! It feels so good. Usually, at this point in the school year, I start to think about all of the things I want to try with my next class. However, seeing everything you do has made me realize that there is no better time than the present, so I am implementing all of these new things with my current class to test them out for next year! Keep up the good work!
as a teacher for 33 years....this is a perfect example of what a good teacher does....give it your all even when you are on empty. i love your videos...
I love these vlogs. They are a favourite of mine. I look forward to every weekend so I can chill out and watch the real life dramas of being a teacher. I am from Australia and studying to finally become a primary school teacher. (I'm 30 😀) thank you for sharing everything. It's just wonderful. I hope that you have a beautiful cruise.
I love your lessons and how they flow into each other. As a high school teacher on semester scheduling, our pacing is a bit more rushed, and the work is different, but I still find so much inspiration in your plans.
I used to be so intimidated by Starbucks but now I'm one of those people with THOSE orders - long and complicated! But if I make a joke about it or ask for their input they're always super nice! Starbucks isn't my favorite coffee in the world, but I love how much you can customize things. Also the new blonde espresso is really yummy in lattes!
I'm sorry i have to comment again! I was feeling EXACTLY like you before spring break. I mean, my mouth almost dropped open when I heard you talking because you sounded exactly like me. I had a student that had to be physically escorted out of the class and he was brought back with a toy and no consequence a few moments later. I was SO DRAINED! At one point in the day I did not pull my last small group, and I sat at my desk and had to silently gather myself before dismissal ahhh! I am so glad that there are teachers like you. I just starting watching your videos and I am so glad that I found your channel. xoxox
I get the vanilla sweet cream cold brew at starbucks and it's soooooo good! its just iced coffee with vanilla sweetener and a splash of cream. Love your videos! Supposed to be studying right now but that can wait :)
I love watching your videos. I live in the UK and I love seeing the differences between America schools and UK schools. I really loved how you spent time explaining what autism is to your students. You have really inspired me to become a teacher assistant in September and I hope that one day I can be a great teacher like you.
I agree with you about the pros and cons of reading assessments. We administer the DRA for reading fluency and comprehension in a one-on-one format. It can be very time-consuming, but gives some valuable information. Thanks for such a realistic and fun video! 😊
Michelle you give me hope! You are exactly the type of teacher I want to be. I don't know how you stay so positive but I watch your videos religiously in hopes your positivity will rub off on me! I graduated in January and somehow managed to get a permanent position as a first grade Sp Ed teacher in an ICT classroom. I am 7 weeks in. My class is out of control. (Mind you not all of the problems are the special ed student, most of them are the general education students.) They are 6 years old flipping tables, hitting me, biting me, pulling my hair, throwing all the papers off my desk, screaming. It's been tough. My co-teacher religiously tells me she "hates kids" and regrets becoming a teacher. I pour my heart and soul into teaching but she tells me that this class isn't worth it and that one day I won't be so excited about a teaching. "It's just a job" she tells me every day. Despite all my students behavior problems, I do love it. Watching your videos these past 7 weeks have really helped me just stay positive. I admire the way you handle a tough class with grace!
Just for future reference: you can add all those cards to the Starbucks app and combine them and pay with your phone there. Then you could get that if you didn't have your wallet too :) Also, the other person's suggestion to use the app is a great idea!
I was SO happy for you when you got the flower from Knuckles. Yes! Definitely a connection made there. We had a case of déjà vu when you were driving to school the second day with the second set of drawers. Very familiar sight to Monday.
The shelf unit should have had wheels, right? Get the Starbucks app and upload your Starbucks gift cards then pay with the app to get free drinks!!! Free birthday drinks, too! Loved the vlog!
You are amazing and I love watching your vlogs! I am currently finishing up my student teaching and I bought your portfolio kit on TPT! It is so cute and professional and easy to use! Thanks for all the hard work you do!! :)
Happy almost Easter.... totally get so many ideas from you! I wish I drank coffee... I like smoothies better! Love my fringe scissors from SU. I am gonna start lunch bunch as well... I have a great class so thankfully not many issues but it is a great idea!
I was such a bad kid in 2nd grade. Probably because I had undiagnosed ADHD and a huge attitude. I always got calls home. But yet I was never sent to the office for some reason. I don’t think the principal even knew who I was. So I feel bad that you have to deal with all the discipline issues.
Saw you got sick this week, and same! I've been sick since the 5th and this was my first full week of my new job in nursery school (2 year olds) so I was like 😩
I looked back at all of your previous videos in the descriptions, and I cannot find where you got your state shirt with the word teacher on it. I thought I remembered you saying where you got it, but I can't remember. Would you mind sharing where you got that shirt again? I looked at Blue Envelope thinking that was it, but I did not see it there. Thanks!
Hi Michelle, I noticed the containers you use to store your colored paper in your file cabinet. What size paper do you use? What are the containers called and where did you get them? Thanks, Francine
I feel that you always end up stuffing the extra papers that your mailman didn't get through, if you want a solution for that i would suggest that you have to mailmen so then they can get through all of the papers. I love your videos and have watched them all like 3 times. Your so inspirational!!!!
You should also download the Starbucks app. You can put all of your gift cards in there, and it has similar features as the Dunkin app. You can order from the app and pay with your phone, so if you forget your wallet, you can still get coffee. 😊
I have been hearing the puzzle piece if offensive and that it should be acceptance instead of awareness. Have you heard any of that, Michelle? I know it's school wide so theres not much choice
I love your videos. I have recently started filming and will be hopefully posting my first weekly vlog at the end of this week. I have been looking for a while to find other teachers on RUclips to watch life in their classrooms. Hopefully you will watch mine and enjoy as well. Keep it up. You are great!
I am so glad to see that I am not the only person intimidated by Starbucks. I never know how to order when I go in! Enjoy your Spring break. You need the rest. Congratulations on your 50th vlog. I have enjoyed all of them and have watched a few of the organizational ones several times! Feel better.
Awesome vlog and yahoo for a flower from knuckles!
Awwww yahoo for inviting chuckles and knuckles to lunch bunch!!!!! So special - they will so remember you!
I love how you are getting through with chuckles and knuckles! Your hard work looks like it's really clicking with them! I aspire to be you!!

l.e.getsfit country. Music
Thank you for being you👍More teachers need to be honest and take pride in there classroom👍I appreciate it👍Keep it up
I wish i was a elementary teacher! The crafts look so much fun. My 7th graders scoff at anything outside of their personal lives on social media lol
I always order Starbucks from the app! Gives you time to choose what you want and then you don't have to talk to anyone when you go inside to grab it. Happy Spring Break :)
I do the same . Makes it so much easier!

Isn´t it beautiful that it´s still light out even when you leave late!!
as a teacher for 33 years....this is a perfect example of what a good teacher does....give it your all even when you are on empty. i love your videos...
At 3:00 the kid on the left's hands are so freaking adorable!! 😁
I love these vlogs. They are a favourite of mine. I look forward to every weekend so I can chill out and watch the real life dramas of being a teacher.

Omg the clip of you and your boyfriend talking about going to Olive Garden 😂 I totally relate, that is our go to date spot too!
I love your lessons and how they flow into each other. As a high school teacher on semester scheduling, our pacing is a bit more rushed, and the work is different, but I still find so much inspiration in your plans.

I just love your honesty. I've been so drained myself lately, your posts always make me feel like I'm not going crazy!! Thanks for being you 💜
So glad you at least get Friday and Monday off, please enjoy and relax! Love the drawers you got for your classroom, those are super nice!
I love the fact that you spent so much time talking about those rainbow storage systems it's something I would totally do
Thanks Erica for your videos

YES! The cinnamon almond milk macchiato is SO good! It's good hot, too... but way better iced.
Can't wait to try it..
I have such a hard time pre-planning, I also always end up changing my mind when I pre-plan.
I agree with you about the pros and cons of reading assessments. We administer the DRA for reading fluency and comprehension in a one-on-one format. It can be very time-consuming, but gives some valuable information. Thanks for such a realistic and fun video! 😊
All of this organizing is helping motivate me! I purchased my first iris scrapbooks get cases this past week and can't wait to get more!!

I love how organized you are
Happy spring break
I'm a huge Starbucks fan and usually I just order whatever sounds ridiculously sweet. Those Easter bunny crafts are adorable! Enjoy you Spring Break!
You are sooo inspiring!!!!!
Just for future reference: you can add all those cards to the Starbucks app and combine them and pay with your phone there. Then you could get that if you didn't have your wallet too :) Also, the other person's suggestion to use the app is a great idea!
watching this as my spring break is ending ughhh! enjoy the rest of your break!
I was SO happy for you when you got the flower from Knuckles. Yes! Definitely a connection made there. We had a case of déjà vu when you were driving to school the second day with the second set of drawers. Very familiar sight to Monday.
*similar* to Monday.
Lucky you! I have one more week! Enjoy your time off!
The shelf unit should have had wheels, right? Get the Starbucks app and upload your Starbucks gift cards then pay with the app to get free drinks!!! Free birthday drinks, too! Loved the vlog!
I think you are a great teacher. I live in P.R. and i am a kindergarten teacher ive gotten many ideas from you thanks !!!!
Another old vlog, I love!!! I miss your vlogs Michelle! I still learn so much from these though, no matter how much I watch them!!
you are so great with the kids
you should try local honey for the allergies you can get it at the health food store or maybe online, it works wonders :)
You are so awesome and inspiring. Keep on making videos!!
When my coworkers go out to lunch or after school, we make inappropriate jokes and share life stories but we always end up talking about the kiddos.
You are amazing and I love watching your vlogs! I am currently finishing up my student teaching and I bought your portfolio kit on TPT! It is so cute and professional and easy to use! Thanks for all the hard work you do!! :)
I was one of those kids who benefited from new seating charts. Also, I think it says a lot about Knuckles that he needs your one on one attention.
Order a "medicine ball" from Starbucks when your throat hurts. It taste like a cough drop.
I've been getting the cinnamon almond milk macchiato non stop!! So good!! Try with 1/2 the sweetener 😊
Happy almost Easter.... totally get so many ideas from you! I wish I drank coffee... I like smoothies better! Love my fringe scissors from SU. I am gonna start lunch bunch as well... I have a great class so thankfully not many issues but it is a great idea!

Omg! No real spring break?! Bless your heart!
Michelle,
Another awesome video! I am going to send you a seating chart trick that will change your life!!!
Ooh I love stampin' up
Can you do a video explaining Rooted in Reading? I've never heard of it, but I'm very intrigued!
All the labeling your doing now will that carry over to your new district? Will you be teaching the same grade/same curriculum?
Loved this vlog and the music!
lol I feel the same way about Starbucks
I looked back at all of your previous videos in the descriptions, and I cannot find where you got your state shirt with the word teacher on it. I thought I remembered you saying where you got it, but I can't remember. Would you mind sharing where you got that shirt again? I looked at Blue Envelope thinking that was it, but I did not see it there. Thanks!
I was watching this video while setting up my own set of rainbow drawers (the ones you didn't like as much haha), what an odd coincidence!
You are so awesome 😍
I love your voice
Hi Michelle, I noticed the containers you use to store your colored paper in your file cabinet. What size paper do you use? What are the containers called and where did you get them? Thanks, Francine
I feel that you always end up stuffing the extra papers that your mailman didn't get through, if you want a solution for that i would suggest that you have to mailmen so then they can get through all of the papers. I love your videos and have watched them all like 3 times. Your so inspirational!!!!
What did you do with all of your rooted in reading stuff this year?
Hi! Please let me know when you will put those labels on your TPT store? Thank you :)
What are the labels called that you used for the rainbow carts?? I need them to organize my classroom
mountaingal homemaker what are they called
I am from Ireland and we have two weeks off school for easter holidays and I have done nothing school related at all ah well! 😂😂😂
what font do you use for your labels?
It's Amy Groesbeck's font, AGBossLady!
Thin mints cereal is good
You should also download the Starbucks app. You can put all of your gift cards in there, and it has similar features as the Dunkin app. You can order from the app and pay with your phone, so if you forget your wallet, you can still get coffee. 😊
Starbucks is out of the way from when I go to work so I typically only get to go on the weekends. :(
Question, what is dismissal, do the kids get dismissed one by one or everyone at the same time??
love your videos. is it sad that it took me ages to figure out the rabbit stuck in the whole art.
Get out of here! I just bought two of the rainbow mobiles from Michael to use next year for station materials.
I want those drawers!!! :) I love the music you pick! Where can you find golden egg activity?
🎼Word work work work work work .... 😄
On tuesday you wore a long skirt.. where did you get it from? It was black and white.
Hi Michelle! I'm such a huge fan of your videos!! How did you create the cute intro. for your channel? 💕 I absolutely love it!!
Everything you grade...you put in your grade book?
Michelle,
What sort of camera do you use? What software to edit in?
what camera is this vlog filmed on
I love you
Hi
Hello! Where did you buy your toolbox?
Alycee Allen I think she got it at Lowes.
Okay! Thank you.
2:58 I AM DOING THE SAME THING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
i saw this video last week..what's going on??
I have the opposite problem 😂 people always give me Dunkin gift cards and I prefer Starbucks! Wanna trade 😉
I have been hearing the puzzle piece if offensive and that it should be acceptance instead of awareness. Have you heard any of that, Michelle? I know it's school wide so theres not much choice
Why can't you just hit reply in the email that she sent you?
I love your videos. I have recently started filming and will be hopefully posting my first weekly vlog at the end of this week. I have been looking for a while to find other teachers on RUclips to watch life in their classrooms. Hopefully you will watch mine and enjoy as well. Keep it up. You are great!
