Thanks Allyson! We are thankful for our home and take good care of it :) Glad to hear you're finding inspiration! We need more awesome teachers! Stay in touch :)
It looks like you had an amazing school year! 😀. I will be wrapping up my first year of teaching third grade this year! 😀. It was definitely a learning and rewarding experience! 😀
Hey Roderick! Every school year comes with it's challenges and victories. This year was my first year in 2nd grade so eventhough it's my 9th year teaching, I still had a learning curve. But thankful nonetheless. CONGRATS to You for wrapping up your 1st year! That's a big deal! Proud of you :)
This was a nice vlog. My time in grade school was miserable for various reasons, and even at the ripe old age of 19 I still haven't made peace with the past. Your class looks vibrant and joyful as a child's environment should be. Having watched your vlog, I feel melancholy. I'm reminded that I could've been happy in a school that was as pleasant as yours looks, but wasn't. My regret is that I'll never be able to reminisce about my childhood like others seem to do. It saddens me further to think that some of these kids are either experiencing the same depression I've experienced, or lack the perspective to appreciate their blessings. But again, nice video! And bless you for being a teacher
Thanks for sharing about your grade school journey. I'm so sorry it wasn't a pleasant experience for you. We have to take the good with the bad and look for the silver lining. Thanks for all the kind words about the classroom. I didn't think I had the best physical classroom the past couple of years being in a portable so I tried very hard to still make it colorful and really focused on creating a classroom community where children feel safe and welcomed. I feel for you and I truly hope you can find peace sooner rather than later. Please take care and keep in touch!
Wow! What an awesome video. Im a 28-year-old male with a science degree. After volunteering at an elementary school, I'm thinking of going back to get a masters in elementary or secondary ed. Can you talk about your educational journey to the classroom? 2nd graders look so motivated to learn.
Thank you for this! I am currently taking courses to transition into the teaching field, I currently work in the corporate world. Can you do a video or comment on challenges teachers face and you might handle them? I would love to hear your experience! 😊
And thank you for checking out my video! That's so awesome that you're taking courses to move into teaching. And about challenges? Wow, where do I start? From the pay, testing pressure, to lack of resources for your classroom and lack of support from people who are suppose to be advocating for the children and so on and so forth. For me, it's knowing your purpose (love of children and teaching), being flexible, and having a positive attitude. Attitude trumps talent some times. Hope that helps a bit!
Hello, my name is Loghman, I am a teacher and I live in Iran. I have an 8-year-old son whom I teach English myself. He does not show me his homework and does not accept me as his teacher. The teacher should talk to him and encourage him. I am a physics teacher myself. And I'm glad to meet one of my colleagues in America. Thank you very much, Loghman
Hi Loghman, thanks for reaching out. Have you tried contacting your son's teacher for a parent-teacher conference? I recommend starting there to address your concern. Tell his teacher that you would like for your son to receive more feedback on his classwork and homework.
I graduated from elementary school in Korea. i found many things different in the American and Korean education styles. Unlike Korea, freedom is felt in American schools above all, many colors in the classroom look really good.
Both are very good choices. My sister-in-law Angel was a nursing student at first when I was in school for teaching. Then somehow, I convinced her to go into teaching as well so she switched majors and now she's been teaching for like 7 years!
Thanks for the compliment. It’s trial and error what works to help the students with their behaviors. There’s plenty of strategies. It helps to start with building trust, community and establishing positive relationships at the beginning of the school year. Thanks for asking!
I am thinking in becoming a special education teacher but I don't know if it's a good idea. I am deaf, I am nervous if I won't be able to become a one because of my deafness
Hey Dayana! There's always a high demand for a special education teacher. We need more awesome ones! Your exceptionality is what makes you unique! I have no doubt you can become a great teacher!
Thank you. I think good classroom management starts with building trust and relationship with your students. Find out what they like, ask about what books they're interested in, what sports or music they are into, ask about their family and siblings. You can do some sort of an Interest Survey to gather this data at the beginning of the school year. Students can tell when you are genuinely interested in helping them :)
Hi Antonio. When I was an elementary teacher, I taught majority of the subjects: English Language Arts, Math, Science and Social Studies. Students had separate teachers for Music, Art, and P.E. It was challenging but that's part of teaching in elementary!
Hi, thanks for the question. Teaching was definitely rewarding. I did classroom teaching for 10 years. However, I went back to school in 2018 to get my Education Specialist degree so I can move on to my next step!
Hi Derek. Thanks for sharing your struggle with that. Sometimes I have a hard time focusing and I don't have the ADHD diagnosis! I'm pretty sure you'll do better now in learning :)
Good question. Younger children tend to have their hands everywhere, they wave their hands, and touch other kids. So a good rule that many teachers use when lining up the class is that students must put their hands behind their back (or pockets) It helps them not accidentally hit objects or other students on the way to lunch, library, cafeteria, etc. Hope I answered your question!
@@GracejoyTV ,I,m a teacher of elementary school and Ukranian teacher of secondary school. After reform,s in educations in our country teachers can be creative.I,m very happy about it.A lot of interesting learned from your videos. Thank you.🌻👌💐💞
Hi, i am secondary english Language teacher in Iraq i have been teaching english Language for 20 years but our english approaches are different with yours in usa how can i manage or become public teacher in usa thank you.
I would like to ask few questions, can I become an elementary teacher with early child education degree? Or would it better to major in education but did not get accepted to elementary education but only in second language education degree. I want to know which way would be the best way to get where you are, thanks for your time!!
Hey Jenny, thanks for the questions. From what I know, Early Childhood Ed is Kinder thru 3rd grade so yes you can be an elementary teacher with that. I knew teacher friends who had the early child ed degree who preferred to teach nothing above 3rd grade because they prefer the little ones better. My undergrad degree was in Special Ed which from the university I got it from, when you get you your Special Ed, you are also Elementary Ed certified which was definitely a bonus. I hope that helps you a little.
@@GracejoyTV Hi, I just want to ask if it's needed to hold a degree in education course with international accredited university? Because I also saw a video of a teacher and she's from California. Anyway, I'm from the Philippines and planning to teach there in U.S. Thank you in advance 😊

Sometimes I just want to hang out in a second grade class and pretend to be a kid again lol
I know that's weird.
This is like a time capsule now. It's beautiful and sad. All those fist bumps to start the day... :-(

Me too
I’m studying elementary special education. Teaching isn’t my job it’s my career.
That's awesome! We need to have more caring and brave teachers! Stay in touch :)

Your students are so nice
Great effort. Fill the empty shelf with Lexile books.
I graduated from elementary school in Korea. i found many things different in the American and Korean education styles.
Unlike Korea, freedom is felt in American schools
above all, many colors in the classroom look really good.
Hi Athena, thank you for sharing your experience in Korea. Yes, I love to incorporate bright colors :)
I remember my school days oh was it so fun and unpredictable
I miss elementary
Those were the days :)
This is great! I make hip-hop for elementary.
Thanks for finding my video. I'll make sure to check out your channel!
I am going to be a nurse but being a teacher was my second option tbh
Both are very good choices. My sister-in-law Angel was a nursing student at first when I was in school for teaching. Then somehow, I convinced her to go into teaching as well so she switched majors and now she's been teaching for like 7 years!
Hi teacher. it was great to see that video.
Wow you are a great teacher. Mind me asking how do you keep these kids so well behaved? Thank you.
Thanks for the compliment. It’s trial and error what works to help the students with their behaviors. There’s plenty of strategies. It helps to start with building trust, community and establishing positive relationships at the beginning of the school year. Thanks for asking!
i have school tomorrow i,m too excited😊😊😊
Good luck! Let me know how it goes and thanks for watching my video!

Thank you.
Christmas came early this year
- yeah I don't know
Oh school's coming back in 11 days .. I'm so scared 😨
Hope you’ve had a good school year!
Hello Ma'am Grace, it looks that you have a good classroom management. Can you give me some tips? :) Thank you so much.
Thank you. I think good classroom management starts with building trust and relationship with your students. Find out what they like, ask about what books they're interested in, what sports or music they are into, ask about their family and siblings. You can do some sort of an Interest Survey to gather this data at the beginning of the school year. Students can tell when you are genuinely interested in helping them :)
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 very nice your job
Your classroom is sooo huge 😭😭
Glad you think so! This classroom is actually in a portable classroom/trailer! (believe it or not)
I have a few questions. As an elementary teacher you have to teach all subjects right? Was that difficult for you?
Hi Antonio. When I was an elementary teacher, I taught majority of the subjects: English Language Arts, Math, Science and Social Studies. Students had separate teachers for Music, Art, and P.E. It was challenging but that's part of teaching in elementary!
It is different Japan.
I'm elementary school teacher in Japan.
Hi! Tell me what it is like teaching elementary in Japan! I'd love to learn!
Hi, I am planning to study elementary school education, are you happy with your job?
Hi, thanks for the question. Teaching was definitely rewarding. I did classroom teaching for 10 years. However, I went back to school in 2018 to get my Education Specialist degree so I can move on to my next step!
Why do it still look light when it's 7:30 PM-
It's Florida in the spring/summer time :)
I’m thinking about being a teacher just nervous and scared
Hey Danielle! You should become a teacher! We need more good ones! It's ok to be nervous and scared but it's only temporary! Stay in touch!
Hold TF up back when I went to 2nd grade here back in 2014 I didnt get no dand pizza from PAPA JHONS by the way is mrs Tracey still there or na
I have ADHD and I'm 32 sometimes I feel like I need to go back to the beginning, I still have trouble learning, maybe I'd do better now.
Hi Derek. Thanks for sharing your struggle with that. Sometimes I have a hard time focusing and I don't have the ADHD diagnosis! I'm pretty sure you'll do better now in learning :)
@@GracejoyTV yes mine carried on to adulthood, some may grow out of it, but I'm good at some random talents, musical.
I wanna go back to second grade 😭😭
Hay quá
Thank you.
I want to become an elementary school teacher it looks so fun
You should! We need more awesome teachers!
Wonderful.✅✅✅✅
What's the name of the first music piece?
Hey! All the music used in this video came built in with the iMovie video editing program.

Why did they take hand behind the back? Sorry for my english. I,m from Ukraine.🌻

You'll have to find an agency who specializes in bringing in teachers to the U.S.
Great Nice 👍
is retirement mandatory for an elementary school teacher in USA ???. can a elementary school teacher in USA cancel his or her retirement ???
I'm not sure what you mean. Why would a teacher cancel their retirement?
Who is really great I’m in second grade
Good luck this school year :)
Nice 👍
Thank you :) I miss my 2nd graders!
