I’ve been following your teaching for 7 years now! 😀. I’ve been an elementary classroom teacher for 5 years and have taught 3rd grade, 5th grade, and Art/STEM. Thank you for being such an inspiration in my teaching career! 😀.
Ahhhhh!!!!! I feel a little old (not going to lie 😂) I can’t believe it but I appreciate your constant support as you’ve started your career. Thank you so much ❤
@@BridgingLiteracy I know it’s hard to believe and your boys have grown so much! 😀. I remember when your Blaine was 2 and your Ian was 9. You’ve impacted the lives of so many children and they are blessed to have had you as their teacher! 😀
The small practical tips (changing your welcome dates and announcements the afternoon before class, putting your badge in the same pocket as soon as you get to your car, immediately cleaning out your lunch bag when you get home) are what make a HUGE difference when you already have a thousand decisions to make in a day. Sometimes it’s the little things that help put us into a groove that we can build momentum from. Thank you for sharing! Very helpful
THANK YOU for normalizing healthy boundaries like leaving when your contract hours end and having your personal time be for you and your family! We don’t see nearly enough of this online, and it’s so important!
It’s common for lots of people to feel the way you do. Maybe try doing your routine earlier in the evening versus waiting. That helped me a ton, because 6 would roll around and I was ready for bed 😅
Bridget, Thank you for inspiring me. I have been teaching for 25 years and this motivates me after a long week. You are adorable and a rockstar in my book!💛
I really enjoy your videos. I teach 3rd grade and you're a big help by sharing your ideas. Im going back to school for my masters and again thought of you because i know you went to Capella
Hi Bridget! I have been watching you and Michelle for years now and I must say, not only do you both inspire me, but I learn so much from you both! Thank you for these morning and evening routine videos. I have been teaching and coaching for 30 years and the work/life balance struggle is real for me! Only recently am I really able to focus on simplifying everything and avoiding burnout. You are not alone--I love to cook or do the dishes and enjoy TH-cam with my phone propped up!🤣🤣🤣Thank you for all you do and this community you have built!
Love these ideas! You are like a carbon copy of me. When I was teaching (I retired the same year as Michelle-ha!) I taught 5th/6th ELA and would always prep my room for the next day! It really would save me, cause let's face it, mornings are hard! Love your house-your son is getting so big! ETA: I started watching you and Michelle about 8-9 years ago. It was my first year at a new school and man, I was struggling! Unfortunately, I had the worse "team" of teachers; I really felt alone. There was no collaboration of any kind! :(. You guys saved me. I would tune in to your vlogs for encouragement. I watched your struggles and your triumphs, and it helped me get through the year! I will always be thankful for you two!
Thank you for sharing your routine for the evening 🙏🏽. Please share your view board mentor sentence or lesson ideas! Thank you for offering. Also, could you share what kind of lunch bag brand you have? You are so efficient. Thank you again for sharing! Blessings❤
This is excellent, always wanting to get to this point, and love the reminders of things to add to the list!! Love the space you have for students, and the independence you create...I love my time cleaning too, and watching a video; Yes! I prop mine up too, and I do coffee in. the night too, especially in the winter!!! My time with my own interest too!
Hi, Bridget! This was a really fun video to watch! I loved the routines you explained and how you made sure that all materials have their place so that you don't have to use extra energy. Your mini crockpot is adorable and so handy. Thank you for sharing your realistic routine! Have a wonderful week ahead! 💜
Loved this video Bridget! And I also prop my phone up on a ledge to watch a TH-cam video or show on Netflix while I wash my dishes. I love that me time as you said. Take care, and thanks for sharing! ❤
Bridget thanks a lot for your amazing videos, truly inspiring❤❤❤love your classroom, everything is super organized, colorful, clean, all these lamps give special atmosphere, I completely sure that your language learners love your lessons, and the atmosphere which you create!!!💜💜💜Role-model for me!!!
I’ve followed you for quite a while, and I admire you! You inspire me as an educator! ❤ Could you share your favorite teacher TH-camrs that you like to watch? A lot of my favorites are no longer teaching or focus on non-teaching things.
I know you love your mini crockpot , but is there a way you could meal prep on Sunday so you don’t have to make your lunch every night? Also, your morning routine, could you drink your coffee first, then use your same coffee cup for your water.?

Love it…I wish I was that organized. Sometimes I start off the week great but I’ll fall apart by the end of the week.

Your classroom is so organized
Yes! Please do a video on your new board. But, honestly, I watch all of your videos!😊
Thank you so much! Yes! I’ll plan some great content with the board. I’ve really been enjoying it.

Yes, please show how you use your new board.
Absolutely! Thanks for replying!
There is no teachers' room. That is so weird. I mean there is even a little kitchen inside that classroom! It is an all-in-one classroom. So cool.

Reusable k cups are the best. 👍
I would like to see how you use your new view board in your classroom.
Hey how do you connect your laptop to your monitor without opening it?
"Why wait to be memorable?"- Anthony Robbins
Girl I do that too. I always put the phone on the window

Which video should I watch about the 48 folders?!?! I know the number is wrong, I apologize. 😫 But I'm really interested on this set up
where did you get your lunchbox from?
My life is louder and messier!
I would love to join your community! It says new spots are opening soon. When is it going to be open again for people to join?
What is the little hub that connects to your laptop?
I know you love your mini crockpot , but is there a way you could meal prep on Sunday so you don’t have to make your lunch every night? Also, your morning routine, could you drink your coffee first, then use your same coffee cup for your water.?
can you do an updated video on your teacher cart?
Lol, I do the same thing with my phone.

Yes, I do! Here is the link to the one I have: amzn.to/3FTeCfs
