    I love watching your vlogs: I retired from teaching June 2019 after 41 years of teaching grades 1, 2 & 3. Most of my career was teaching second grade. It is such a fun grade to teach. I miss the kids, I do not miss all the stress that comes with teaching today. Your room looks fantastic. It is such an inviting classroom. Please continue making vlogs. They bring back so many wonderful memories for me. Best of luck in 2022-23 school year. Keep inspiring little minds.

    This is my ninth year of teaching, near DC. My first three years were in second and the past five were in third grade gifted. My principal called me last Monday and told me that he had to move me to fourth grade gifted for this year (he told me this just three days before classroom set up started last Friday). Open house was yesterday- I’m so excited that about 9 of last year’s sweet kids get to loop up with me and most of the new ones seem like they’ll fit in. The kids come full time on Monday!

Question, I have the same book bins, how do you keep them from constantly tipping over and spilling the books out on the table or on the floor? (The taller picture books make it so top-heavy.) This is my 5th year teaching 4th grade. We start with students on Sept. 6th.

    • @EarlyEDventures

      They don't usually tip over that much during the day. BUT I do have a "Book box organizer" as a job and it is their job to fix them when they do fall and to straighten them out at the end of each day.

    I had a student be “teacher of the day” during April after March is Readijg Month. I picked the student who read the most at home Every year the student lives it! I grab them a “coffee” aka hot chocolate, a lanyard with a “teacher badge”, they were able to walk next to the line like me, and they could teach the class something if they wanted. Plus they helped me choose an activity. It really isn’t too overwhelming if it doesn’t happen all the time.

I'm curious if the Eagle tickets are being used instead, what about that system made you change over from the other. Love your channel btw!

    Loved loved this video! Not long found your channel! I'm a home schooling mumma in New Zealand. I love to help out at schools as well and also love to each school year adopt a class overseas and send them special things about NZ. I would love that to be your 2nd grade class this year if that would be ok?
