    @birdee18 5 лет назад +5

    I love my microphone and my laminator! I tell everyone I bought the microphone for when my students do presentations, but we all know that it’s really for me to run up and down the hall with and sing to everyone. I love the bell idea and have never thought of that! I’m a 22 year veteran, and I love learning from young teachers!

  • @emilyfurr6379
    @emilyfurr6379 5 лет назад +6

    Definitely get two laminators beginning teachers: one at home and one on your desk! I can’t count the number of times I’m planning at home and needed my laminator!

    My rug! I teach 8th graders and I bought a larger indoor/outdoor rug from Target for my room. The kids LOVE it! They all rush to sit there and work during independent work time. Our school does restorative practices and the rug is where we go for circle time. 100% would buy again.

  • @sarahfelicia1933

    I’m not in any way interested in being a teacher at all, yet I sit through every video beginning to end, so intrigued and entertained JUST because her personality is entertaining.

    Best purchase: reading seats (bean bags, floor chairs, stackable seats, etc)
    Worst purchase: random wall decor/ posters (decorating with student work and creating anchor charts as the year goes on works best for me for decor)

    My best classroom purchase (I didn't actually purchase it, he was given to me) is my magnetic stuffed sloth. His name is Sherman. He hangs on the air vent and stairs at the door. It's great when people don't realize he's in there and he scares them. The kids love him. Sometimes he travels around the school with me. :D

    I’m studying to be a high school English teacher! Your videos gave me the motivation I needed going into my next semester. It’s taking me what seems like a lifetime to get this degree, and sometimes it feels like the fire is extinguished but you made me feel SO excited to be going into this field. Your joy is contagious sweet girl!

  • @daniemarie5320
    @daniemarie5320 5 лет назад +1

    you inspire me so much. i’m going into my freshman year of college and i often stay up and pray and just think about my future students and dream about how wonderful it’s all going to be and your videos just help me visualize what it looks like to be intentional with teaching. thank you.

  • @whitneylewis_
    @whitneylewis_ 5 лет назад +3

    I love the part about representing students in the classroom. During my sophomore year, we had a "get to know me" project in english and I created a get to know me box. The outside was a lot of basic information about me but the inside had more of my personal dreams and things my classmates didnt know about me. My teacher had my box on display all year long and I loved it!! I felt so appreciated because it took me forever to make that box.

    *The laminator saved my life!!!!!!!! It's my favorite thing in the world. I also bought my own paper cutter which has been amazing as well. I'm constantly cutting papers into strips and things and now I can do that from the comfort of my classroom :)
    *Worst purchase: ELA themed posters. I NEVER refer to them and they just take up space on my walls.

  • @viamendes1621
    @viamendes1621 5 лет назад +2

    I bought an amazon laminator about a month ago and it was THE BEST purchase I have ever made in my 20 years of life. I can’t wait to use it for student teaching this year!

  • @bridgettehegarty7042
    @bridgettehegarty7042 5 лет назад

    I love your reminder to involve students when designing the classroom. It is just as much their space as it is yours. An obvious idea but one that's also easy to forget!

  • @gillianmoore8972
    @gillianmoore8972 5 лет назад

    As someone who struggles with extreme anxiety when it comes to school and my teachers. I so wish I had a teacher like you where you make the classroom feel so welcoming and you make your students feel like they can talk to you about anything and everything.

  • @wendyshapard1883
    @wendyshapard1883 5 лет назад

    If you love organization, get yourself a document sorter for turning in assignments! Give each student a number, they turn in their paper to the sorter, you can quickly check which ones are missing, and then pull out the stack in order. Makes input into your grade book so much faster. Plus, if you have numbered mailboxes or mail files, it’s easy to pass back because the stack is in order.

    I can say that the microphone helps give my students a voice in the classroom. Or if I want them to produce letter sounds they love when it's out. I got a laminator this year and a printer donated to me. Such game changers

  • @Sarahs.HappyLife
    @Sarahs.HappyLife 5 лет назад +9

    I neeeeed that microphone for my students to use during their math discussions where they present their work to the class and their classmates ask them questions. Thanks for reminding me! ❤️

  • @marymatthews8912
    @marymatthews8912 5 лет назад

    I definitely agree with you about being in your room and assessing the bins you will need. I have about 25 shoe sized bins which I use to sort my many small items (I teach preschool and everything is small) and I realized that they were not practical for organizing things in my cabinets. I went out this past year and purchased latching bins for my math cabinet and I bought labels for them on TPT. It was a game changer. I can open the cupboard and find what I need. This was the first video of yours that I watched. I'm going to go check out your channel. Thanks for sharing your opinion.

  • @katietothemac
    @katietothemac 5 лет назад

    I teach in a mod/severe classroom and my favorite thing by far is the calm down corner. The kids love it and I love to do my planning in the bean bags while my kiddos (the ones who do not go to specials) hang out around me. 💁🏼‍♀️

  • @ladya7623
    @ladya7623 5 лет назад +2

    My senior year of high school, in my Future Teachers class, I was in charge of making a bulletin board and had the bright idea to making glitter letters... let me tell you, the janitor was not happy with me or my teacher. It was a massacre of red glitter and spray glue EVERYWHERE. So glad I learned that lesson before becoming a teacher.

  • @allicat7990
    @allicat7990 5 лет назад

    My partner starts her first year of teaching this upcoming school year, 3rd grade, and I’m honestly so excited for her. You both share the same passion and excitement about your students and I always watch your videos to see if I can give her more ideas on classroom stuff, etc. 🤧♥️ Shoutout to all the teachers!

  • @imaginativebibliophile549
    @imaginativebibliophile549 5 лет назад +1

    Ms. Brittany, your students must be very proud of you for having such an excellent English teacher. English is my favorite subject. However, I feel like most students nowadays prefer math or science instead of subjects like English, Creative Writing, Foreign Languages, and History. I hope we can spread the love of reading and writing with our students. I am still a student. However, I know I will become a teacher one day. I love you ❤️😘💕

  • @alexlaurenroy

You truly seem to love what you do. You have so much love and compassion for your students, and you genuinely make learning seem like so much fun. That honestly motivates me so much, and it inspires me to want to do better in college.💓💓💓💖💖💖

    You remind me of one of my teachers , my teacher is always getting disrespected because of how nice she is always nice no matter what anyone says she’s positive and deserves better and she the microphone and will not scream she will use the microphone and if we are in the front of the room she will give us the microphone I try to stick up for her and she’s the best and you are too ,if your reading this have a good day!

    Hi. Just wanted to say, thank you for inspiring me in which field I want to go in. I dropped out of community college a semester ago, had a lot going on in my life, and felt like a complete failure. But I’m ready now to get back on that horse and give back the gift of education that I was lucky enough to have 💕

    I only buy bins as needed or else you will end up with too many.
    My best purchase was a red storage cart. It doesn't really match my room, but it hold so much. I used in special education and I am now using it in general education. I store my early finisher options on it.
    My worst purchase was fake feathers for art. They make a worse mess than glitter. We were picking pieces up all year.

    • @fivefootoneteacher
      @fivefootoneteacher  5 лет назад

      yes exactly! I love bins--just have to buy them with purpose and if not they become junk bins hahaha

    Can you do a Q&A soon? I’ll be a choir teacher in a year and I’m very anxious about being “the new teacher” that kids don’t want to get to know and are wary about. I’m not exactly sure how to gain their trust and be likeable quickly. I’ll be young like you so that could give me an advantage, but I’m scared that they will have absolutely loved their previous teacher before me and not even give me a chance.
