“I always believe in doing what’s best for my students, even if it’s not in the curriculum.”
This resonates with me, I believe all teachers should have this mentality. You are so awesome!!
I already have that mentality and I'm not even a teacher (but want to be lol)!
Is it wrong to say im already excited for next years classroom setup video 😜.
Hahaha, I am too. It will be nice to have a change! I'm excited for the unpacking... just not the packing, ha!
I wish you even taught in my county. You would be amazing in hoco
Natasha C, of course not! I'm excited too!
@@PocketfulofPrimary hi
If all teachers were like this the world would be a better place😙😊
Michelle: I’m not putting much effort into it.
Also Michelle: **begins using ruler**
(i love you so much 💕💕)
Omg yay! I just woke up and I was like wait.. Michelle should have posted a video! I immediately took out my phone and saw her video in my recommendation feed and I was so excited and clicked it!
Thank you so much for watching Connie! I hope you enjoy it!
Pocketful of Primary you are what has inspired me to be a special ed teacher❤️
25 minute vlog!!!! I got my coffee ready!😀😀😀
Thank you for watching Nicole!
Pocketful of Primary hi pocketful of primary
I love Flocabulary. Our county subscription ran out in September. And they said they had no plan to renew--after we had gone 1:1 and were told Flocabulary would be great to do when we went 1:1. We were PISSED and even had a meeting about it. In October, we got it back through the next 3ish years at a special price because our ITRT is amazing.
I'm glad you got it back! It is such a great service and I would hate to lose it!
Michelle, your room always looks so neat and paper free! Try as I do, the paper keeps piling up! How do you budget time to get rid of the paper clutter and keep copies for the following year?
I have a drawer system that I use to file my copies for the upcoming week (a drawer for each day) so they aren't on my desk. I don't really keep copies for the following year... I only keep copies for the current year!
You are THE BEST!!! Thanks for the work you do in getting these out!
Hello,
I am a student teacher and I wanted to let you know that you inspire and motivate me. Everytime I see one of your videos it gets me for anxious to become a teacher and to get it in the classroom. I want to wish you the best as you close out on the school year.
Here in Ontario Canada, we have EQAO, Education Equality and Accountability Office. Ours start this month too on the 23. Grades 3 and 6 test in reading, writing and math, grade 9 tests in math only and grade 10 test in literacy. In my school some of the teachers are only ½ time so the kids get an hour each morning for a week. Good luck with yours.
Thank you so much! I appreciate it!
Hello I just want to tell you that you are amazing and I already plan on being a teacher because of you.
Thank you so much for your kind words!
Knowing you have to change rooms before the end of the year is great. In my school, you found out at pre planning which meant four days to pack, get it moved, unpack and try to set up before Meet the Parent time. I remember those achievement testing days. I taught first grade and we had to read the questions and answer choices to them (except the actual reading comprehension section). After three years, the state did away with first grade testing going to third, fifth, and junior senior high school. Love your enthusiasm and how you keep it real. You tell the exhausting or frustrating parts of teacher life not just the happy parts.
That was an awesome video Michelle! Room changes are stressful, but you're right to start as early as possible. If your slippers aren't squeaky or noisy, just wear them for the week of testing!
Mine don't make any noise at all! I'll definitely be wearing them some as we test! Thanks!
Our 5th grade rooms are being renovated this summer, so I have to pack my entire classroom, so I feel your pain. Next year is my last year before I retire. So I get to decorate for one year.
I Love how you say kiddos and how you think about your kid ur an amazing teacher
Such a strong modern lesson. Thanks for being a great teacher out thurr!
Your eyebrows look awesome. I just wanted to let you know you have inspired me to pursue my dream of teaching. Monday-Friday you teach and connect with your little scholars, && on the weekends you teach && connect with your viewers❤️ so awesome.
Michelle, we both believe the same... doing what’s best for our kids even it means I have to take something out of my pocket or spend and adjusting lessons from the District to make it more engaging:)
I'm glad you agree with me Liz!
Hi
I love how you teach to engage the kids and still do the curriculum you have to do.
I did a long sub assignment in middle school last year - schedule changes sent the kids off the rails. Kudos to you for holding it all together with elementary kiddos and schedule changes. Especially lunch & recess
I have "state"(Puerto Rico) testing next week too for 11th grade from Monday - Thursday. The difference is that I have to read all 4 tests to the kiddos that I was assigned (not with my kiddos this year). Hopefully, I don't have to teach afterwards. If not, I will have to teach 4 groups of 10th grade after reading for 3 hours straight. My poor voice will be gone by Friday. 😣 Anything to help a student though! 😊
LOVE these old school vlogs. It's so interesting to see your thought process when planning for/reflecting on a lesson. It is super helpful for future teachers like myself. Love the video (as always), and I am glad you are handling the upcoming move so well! Good luck with testing and end of the year craziness!
I like how I'm in fourth grade and sometimes I see the lesson I'm in and yours is the same
As soon as you said you were moving rooms I was very happy for a new classroom set-up yea!!
I grew up on the Virginia side of DC, I had a friend who lived in Maryland, and she had lockers in her elementary school!
I live outside of Nashville now, definitely not as exciting for a highschooler, but it's still nice here.
Yay! I’m so excited that you uploaded! I always look forward to your vlog every Sunday morning!😀
Like this if you think Michelle is the greatest teacher around 💚
Thank you so much for watching!
Thanks for the likes everyone and thank you very much Michelle for ❤️ and commenting!
Happiest people are the people who make others happy. Thank you soo much for what your doing, I wish I had grown up in this environment
Hi Michelle, I know that you probably won’t see this but anyways. I am only eleven but I love to watch your videos. When I’m older I really want to be a teacher and I really hope that you keep your videos going till then because they would be sooo good to watch for inspiration.
Something my school is doing is market day! I hope you could try to do it. It’s where at the end of the year kids make stuff and teachers give out “ money” it’s a way to get kids up and running but kids have to do work sheets about money stuff like that
You are so lucky to have only one week of testing. Our school uses SBAC, which has 4 tests that take one week each (one hour a day)! Plus, many of my students have been taking two weeks because they are thinking through every question. Yay for their stamina and determination, but boo for testing.
Try testing for the past two weeks...with a week to go😔.
It's finals week and I've been watching your videos, and catching up on your Instagram stories, to stay focused and productive! 💛
I don’t know if someone has already suggested this, but I’ve had to move classrooms 5 times in the last 5 years!!!! Take it from me - invest in some of those huge blue bags from IKEA. You can buy them from eBay. They’re sooooooo much easier to pack than boxes and super sturdy. I love your videos! Had to stop drying my hair to add my two cents!
Just found your channel when looking for distance learning ideas -- thank you for sharing! I wanted to warn you to be careful giving students hard candy for testing (or anytime). At one of the schools I used to work at, a student choked on a hard candy during the state assessment - scary!! Not to mention the class had to stop taking the test and all the craziness that follows due to that. Since then I've given my students Tic Tacs - too small to choke on:) Keep up the hard work and enthusiasm.
please do another classroom moving tour/ vlog like you did when you moved schools. Then a second vlog on tips :)
My amazing fifth grade students will take the math FSA (Florida Standarized Assessment) tomorrow and Tuesday. Last week, they completed the reading FSA. I know they all did well....so excited for next year to see how they adapt to sixth grade.👩🏫
I have had those flexible seats since last year and OMG they are the best!!!
I have to switch classrooms this summer too so I'm really looking forward to some tips from you!!!
Waiting through the ads to get you as much ad-cents as possible, but really impatient to start the video!!!

I loved your symmetry lesson! Flocabulary is totally worth the cost! My students loved singing along the multiplication fact songs- totally helped with fact fluency! Can I just say how gorgeous your eyebrows look!!! Good luck next year!
Making my first big classroom move this summer...luckily my space now is pretty small and I’m finishing up my first year, so I haven’t had much time to accumulate a lot of stuff. Excited for the new space!
In my classroom every year as we break out the ever so popular symmetry unit I like to download a game on my iPads To help with the understanding. The app is called cut it. In the game you have to break the shape into the said amount of pieces (usually 2,4 or 6.) after you drag the line with your fingers it will separate and give you a percentage of each piece. It isn’t the easiest thing ever so my fifth graders find it fun because they aren’t stuck playing “baby games” I believe the same would go for your fourth graders. It is done with creative pictures and my students really enjoy it as an incentive and it’s great for early finishers as we work through this unit. It is also a crowd favourite during iPad time. The best part of this whole game is that it’s completely free on the App Store. Thanks for inspiring teachers everywhere, love from Canada 🇨🇦
Omg I also take PARCC testing aswell! Good luck!!!
I’m in college right now working on my education degree and my goal is to become a 4th grade math and science teacher and your videos are so inspirational! They are helping me power through college
Thank you so much for sharing all your teacher tips! I love watching your videos and feel so motivated as a new teacher. I’ll be a first year teacher next school year. This year I took over a 5th grade class half way through the year and I’m brand new, so much is overwhelming to me! I need help with grading!!!! Can you please please please make a video about your grading system? What you actually grade and put into the grade book? And what your grade book looks like and how it is organized etc? Pleas please
I feel like time is getting away from me, so it was good to see how you deal with testing and schedule changes. Our End of Grade tests are moved to.the last week in May and first few days in June...so schedule changes are on the way. Plus I have so much more curriculum to get through....coming in to teach in February (I am the fifth teacher this class has had due to shortages and them having had subs) and they were behind. Here's hoping we get as much in as we can. We end on June 7, but June 5-7 are pretty much a wash
Thanks for being you-positive and helpful and honest....
Gotta love the craziness of testing and end of year schedules!!! Hope you and your kiddos have a great testing week. Looking forward to learning about your test motivation strategies and the flexible seating options. 😊
Oh yes... this time of year is always so crazy. Thank you so much for the well wishes!
Good morning! I teach in neighboring PG county. We have started calling the state assessment MCAP (Maryland Comprehensive Assessment Program). I tested last week 4 days (4 75 minute sessions for the week) for RELA and the week before 2 days (2 60 minute sessions per day) for Math. We finished. It was my first year administering such a test and found I really could not teach anything new due to all of our mental exhaustion. Best of luck to you and your students!
My school has also begun the countdown to June 14th. We have about 32 days left. I know I'll cry on the last day as I say bye to the first group of students I have had all year long (first year teaching after 10 years substituting with 10+ long term opportunities).
Yes! That's what we call it too... I just couldn't remember it at the time! We cram all of our testing into a single week so they take the math session in the morning and the ELA session in the afternoon each of the 4 days (but no ELA on day 4).
@@PocketfulofPrimary You have me curious how well your students handle it. I teach 3rd grade and these students have never had such strenuous testing. Hopefully, your fourth graders do better than mine--finished some unit assessments in 20 out of 75 minutes. Perhaps another video idea...share with teachers how you prep your students for state assessments--what do you say, how do you give them test-taking strategies, etc. Thank you again!
Ha ! I have that same book bag for my work laptop. Our office of 400 people is transitioning to exclusively work at home in the next couple months, so I won’t need it anymore and I’m sad! Haha I love this bag.
I love your videos. Thank you for being an inspiration. I have been watching TH-cam videos to prep for my first year next year. Because of your videos, I bought many snack containers at my dollar tree. I went to get some more because I had come up with some more ideas and they were all gone. I was kind of bummed. I will keep watching for more. But as I was buying them, I kept thinking of you!
I love watching your videos because it gives me a idea of what my teachers do for me and my class
Thank you so much! I'm happy you enjoy them!
We did a vocabulary thing when I was in 6th grade and me, being the nerd that I was and still am, picked floccinaucinihilipilification...
I love your videos and I am so glad I found your channel a while ago! I just finished my second year into my bachelors for elementary and special education and I’m so excited! I really loved the opening to the lesson of activating the students prior knowledge!
I love your name symmetry project. I was not a fan of geometry in elementary school because I didn’t have a teacher who loved teaching it. You make math so much fun!! I wish I had you as a math teacher!! Good luck with the testing!! I am so old school with pencil and paper especially for math. Pack away the things you won’t be using. I had that trouble with my dad when he taught because he had his own back office and moving him from one school building to another on our campus was a pain in the butt. At least you don’t have to play Tetris with putting stuff away for your move. Hopefully your students know which classroom you will be at next year so they can visit you.
Thank you for the kind words! Hopefully we get out boxes to start packing early but the boxes may not arrive until the last week of school so we will see!
you are an amazing teacher !!
Hey! I don’t know if this can help you but if you want your kiddos to remember their multiplication tables make the different numbers (3’s, 4’s, 6’s, 7’s, etc.) into the melody of nursery rhymes or songs. It really helped me when I was in elementary and I sometimes use this method to this day in high school. Hopefully that made sense :)
Sunday is the best day... why??? New videos from Michelle!!!! 🙏🏻 LOVE you, Girl!!!
I’m a senior in highschool, graduating in 2 weeks and going to college for elementary education!! 😋your channel has helped me so much!! :)
Early congratulations! I'm so happy my channel could be helpful for you!
I cannot get over how perfect her handwriting is!
Thank you! I've never liked my handwriting so I appreciate that!
ok you have some awesome handwriting on that poster!! Can't wait to see your packing up video and new classroom setup. My daughter is starting her first teaching job in August and will be going through all the set up stuff too.
OMG I absoulotly love you!!
Happy Teacher Appreciation Week!
We do the Air state test
I’m in MD too and we now call PARCC MCAP.
Yes, that's what it is! I couldn't remember at the time. Thanks!
Pocketful of Primary welcome!
I love your channel!😍🐼😍I want to be a teacher 👩🏫 when I am older
Me too
Me too!!!!
Me Too!!😀
Thank you so much!
Good luck with your testing. I love to watch your videos. 👍😊
Thank you so much Loretta!
Love your videos! I look forward to them every week. 😊❤️
I love you Michelle you are an awesome teacher
Thank you so much Kiana!
I I remembered the symmetry project that you did last year did last year
It's one of my favorite projects!
As always organised for Parc. Love the motivational poster😀👍💐. Smiles from down under.
That’s neat that you’ll have two openings in your grade level! Again this year your school was at a job fair where I live in Pennsylvania (where it’s completely impossible to get a job) and they didn’t give anyone the time of day! I have 7 different certifications, my Master’s degree, and two years of experience and even I wasn’t considered. Obviously not your fault it’s just everyone was wondering why in the world your county was even there. I love your videos btw!
Love your writing. So satisfying
I cant wait for that setup video end of summer!
So cool that you're in MD! I'm an aspiring teacher in MD too! I'm working on my elementary education degree right now
You are such a great teacher
We need more teachers like you!
Do you have a video on how you lesson plan?
I can't wait for the next video that your moving. I just subscribed and i love your videos
Hi there, Michelle! I just want to tell you what an amazing person you are and say a huge thank you for being incredibly inspirational, sincere and open! Your videos help me (and I know not only me) to power through life and the academic year. And, of course, your ideas are priceless! Thank you for bringing sunshine into this world! May the Universe bless you with miracles and awesomeness!
If you don't mind I have a few questions. I'm from Russia and I'm very curious to learn about some things that we don't have in our school. For example, TAs. What are their responsibilities? Do all teachers have TAs? In all schools? Can one TA work with several teachers and even in several schools? Is their job well-paid? Are they in any way trained to become TAs?
One more thing: in one of the videos you talk about lesson planning and you show it on a bigger scale, so to say. But do you have a lesson plan with timing, lesson stage, stage aim, your words as a teacher and a detailed description of the activities that your students are going to do, the interaction patterns you are using and on we go? Or you don't have to fill in such kinds of plans? Do you in any get your plans checked by the administration?
Sorry for such a long comment! Thank you in advance!
I just found your channel yesterday. I’m in 7th grade and don’t want to be a teacher, but I LOVE your videos and have watched them for the past 13 hours 😂 keep up the good work!
Thank you so much for watching! I appreciate it and am happy you found my channel!
AND I have learned so much and received some great information from you, Michelle !! Our last day here in Osceola County is May 30th.
I am in Illinois it is called IAR for Illinois assement of readiness that is what are doing for are curriculum
This video was just AMAZING! I always love watching your videos! Even though I’m just in 7th grade I really want to be a 4th grade teacher. Love your videos!
Thank you so much! I appreciate your kind words and support!
A Flocabulary tutorial could be an idea for your technology videos. I love the lines of symmetry activity. Such a great idea.
Video
ideas💘🙌🏻
-Night routine?
I’m in 5th grade and I love you’re videos. I have just thought. No teachers in my school really need to move classes because there is only 1 class for each year in my school.
Im in 8th grade just finished the school year but when you started showing the lesson slides I kinda tensed up and then realized I already knew that and also that I'm not in school rn.
Can't wait for next week to get some testing motivation ideas! We are getting ready for our EOG testing here in NC. Thanks for the video!
Michelle! I know it is too late now because the parade is over, but you could have done something funny with the double meaning of fatigue (also the army uniform!). Like camo jammies or a soldier outfit worn sloppily, or something. 😂 Then you could put "fatigued" and "fatigues" on your sign. Hope you and your kiddos survive testing time! 💙 P.S. I am so glad you are at such an awesome school now and loving your grade level. You are thriving and so much happier! 🙌
Awesome idea but I think that would have confused some students. The point is to learn new words and that would cause some confusion as to the meaning of the word. Thank you for your kind words!
Pocketful of Primary Haha I suppose that is true! I teach 4th and 8th ELA and it would not confuse my 8th graders but it might confuse the 4th graders. 😃
Good luck when you guys do park testing.
I live in Tennessee and my school ends in 2 weeks!
That's awesome! Enjoy your time off!
I just did the GOTR 5k yesterday! My testing is this week as well, but I’m in middle school. I wish I had you as a teacher and a coach though!! :)
Woo! I hope you loved it! Thank you for your kind words!
Pocketful of Primary no problem! I love your channel
I always love Sunday's because you upload
Love your channel so much and wow your handwriting omg! I’m hoping to be a teacher once I am older and I cannot wait to be a motivational as you are to my students :) hope you’re having a good day!
The art prodject you did we did in art class last year in 4th grade
You're an amazing teacher! I work with teachers and it would be an honor to work with an amazing educator like you! ❤️❤️
Maybe you'll get a bigger classroom?! 🤞
Yes yes yes another vlog is here! So excited 😍
Anyone else from the UK hear cemetery when Michelle says symmetry? cc
Lol! Sorry!
I'm not from the UK but I hear it, too! I kept wanting to say "sim, sim, make sure your students know it's pronounced SIMmetry" haha. Always love Michelle's videos, though, because they are full of helpful information.
@@mugglemom9135 So glad I am not alone, I felt the same lol, same for me to, I don't teach the same age and am from the UK but love her passion and find her ideas interesting, I am really only here for the vlogs as the other videos generally are not for me but love her passion and obvious joy for teaching x
I LOVE Thursday's outfit! That skirt is so cute! :)
