I’m not a teacher!! Just a 15 year old girl. I don’t even plan to be a teacher in the future. It’s just fun to watch you and I love your personality haha
You are not "just" a 15 year old girl. You are an amazing young woman who can do anything she sets her mind too!
Karen Christensen That is very nice to say.
Same
me too!!! i just love watching man.
the moon and back same!!
I was a student teacher last year! Just a few suggestions- make her her own space in the classroom if possible (could even just be a caddy with basic supplies) and introduce her as a coteacher, not a student intern (at least not until later in the year). Those things that made me feel most welcome!!! ❤️ allow her to do some things independently, like teaching for a whole day without you (if your district allows that) , maybe taking a day and allowing her to sub, letting her run a small group, allow her to implement her own behavior incentives + lesson ideas. You’ll be the best Mentor ever!!!!!❤️
I was in college, not high school but still applies!
The term coteacher can be misleading to students and parents (and even other staff); coteacher implies you are at the same level as a teacher which is misleading, since it implies a level of authority and education which as an intern you don’t have - but I see what you’re getting at. Maybe teacher in training is better?
I agree with Wendy. Also I don’t think she should be teaching for a whole day independently as a high school intern, that’s more of a college internship thing (I had a high school internship as well). Subbing as a high schooler definitely wouldn’t be allowed. Having her teach small groups would be great though!
My mentor introduced me by name and said I was there to help out deliver content, saves confusion between titles, my students didnt realise till much later that I was a student and commented that they thought i was a teacher as they thought i was so good which was really nice to hear x
I didn’t even know interning in high school was a thing- so I didn’t realize the intern was a HS student. Obviously, I don’t think a high school student should sub or be left alone with an entire class of students, however, I do thing a college student is more than capable.
Secondly, I was in a mobile for my student teaching and my mentor still found a space for me. It’s doable, and in my opinion should be done for all student teachers. A HS student is different but I think even just a cup of pencils and a sticky note pad would be a nice gesture- we should all, as educators, look to welcome and inspire the future generation of educators.
Lastly, I should’ve clarified- I did not mean that you should lie to parents about being a student teacher. I simply meant that portraying to the students that you and your student teacher/ intern are a team and that the intern is no less of a teacher than you are is important. I’m NOT saying Michelle would ever do that. I’m just saying it’s important to make the intern feel valued and like an equal, and to not be demeaning towards them (not like any of you or michelle ever would).
These are just my opinions, and I do think they are important but please don’t take them the wrong way. I simply know how inspired and welcomed I felt and want others to feel the same way. ❤️
Michelle, I appreciate your channel because I’m a homeschool mom and I take so much from you that I can apply to teaching at home. I also love to watch you because you embody every teacher I had, who made me want to be a teacher. I ended up choosing a different profession because the only thing I wanted more than to be a teacher was to be a mom. At times I felt sad that I didn’t go into teaching. Now that I’m a homeschool mom I have the best of both worlds!
Oh michel. 2 years ago you help me so much with your videos when I was struggling with THAT kid who was so violent and so more....I was near to quit my job and stop teaching due to my situation and the lack of support from my boss. You have been THE ONE who encourage me to continue doing What i finally love the : teaching. You have been a blessing for me. You saved my mental health. You re impacting people and teachers all over the world ! Be so proud of doing it. Thank you so much for doing what you re doing. Fannie A 3rd grade teacher in France 🇫🇷 Who is still teaching thanks to you. Love
Been waiting all morning for this video. Thank you for giving me the courage to follow my dreams. I start college to be a primary teacher tomorrow 🙂
Georgia Thomsett Congratulations! Teachers often get a “bad rap” in the media. I’m so glad there are people who still want to be teachers. As a veteran teacher starting my 32nd year, I want to welcome you to the profession!
cool
@@deetee8100 thank you. Wow 32 years! I can't wait to be a teacher I'm so excited
you go gurl/boy
Hows it going?
2nd graders can have an organized notebook in general, I dont see why a 4th grader cant. A tip, I attached a ribbon to the notebook like a bookmark on a planner, so they can have control of the pages. By the end of the year they dont even need it ^^
I randomly found your videos. How cool is this. The first I saw was "Behavior Problems, Behavior Problems and more Behavior Problems." I'm relieved you stuck it out. Keep it up. We need you. -From a junior high math teacher.
Michelle, I just want to send a shout-out for being the amazing teacher that you are! This is my 24th year of teaching, and I consider myself a veteran in the profession, but I can honestly say that I learn something new from you every time that I watch one of your videos. You have amazing ideas, your organization is on point, and your love and enthusiasm for your students is infectious. I met you once briefly in person and you were just as personable then as you are in your videos. Keep doing what you do. You are inspiring to so many of us!!
Not a teacher, but I look forward to Sunday's to watch while studying and doing homework! (I'm a nursing student!)
You probably already know about her, but if not five foot one teacher is so great and reminds me a lot of you with the positivity!
So glad you posted the brain flakes! My daughter has talked about these "snowflakes you can make beautiful flowers out of" since school has started and I haven't been able to find them.
Hello there. I just wanted to make a comment in reference to what you said at the end of your vlog about doing TH-cam to help other teachers. I have really been enjoying watching your channel. This will be my first year in my own classroom and watching your videos has been very helpful even though our experiences are going to be completely different. You see, I will be the lead teacher for a 2-3yr old class of kiddos with visual impairment. I just thought I’d stop to say thanks for sharing your life with me in hopes that it will make your teacher heart very happy.
Hey, I am Jamari Roberson... I am only 14 years old and I am looking to become a teacher 👨🏫 just like you. You inspire me to keep going for what I want in life.. Just a big thanks to you for making such a difference in my life... thanks so much.. see you in the next video👋🏼
Jamari Roberson same with me same age too!
I started volunteering in preschools and after school programs when I was 12 years old. I also did a senior year high school internship where I spent an hour and a half everyday in a first grade classroom. I also worked at a camp for 6 years with 4-5 year olds. Now I am a senior in college about to start my student teaching. The most experience the better, you can never have enough!
I will say that this channel has encouraged me to go back to school and get my degree in elementary education instead of photography. I always love working with kids and now that I have a kid it’s great to show him how important it is to work hard for big dreams!
Hi Michelle! I found your channel on one of the worst days I've had this year. This is my 5th year of teaching, but my building is going through so many changes that it feels like year 1. You've honestly inspired me to get out of my funk and get it done. Thank you for being so real. You truly embody the spirit of a passionate, and dedicated educator. Your kids are lucky to have you as a teacher!
i was an intern during high school as well..I did a few lessons my self that were super easy to deliver from like scholastic or something so that the teacher could do some testing. I also helped the lower students during their independent time since they struggled. i did a lot of grading and anchor charts to help the teacher out! it was so much fun...and rewarding.
We need more teachers like you in this world, I have watched all of your videos and Im rewatching them again lol I have always aspired to be a teacher but as of right now its not in my cards. I live my dream through you! So thank you for making my day! Keep up the good work. I love your dedication and passion for your kids!
For an incentive in the 4th grade, I requested to learn all our lessons outside, it was perfect and so much fun. We all sat on towels and in the shade. Most fun class ever! we still learned just not in the same place, if that is something your school and you would be ok with I would recomend trying it out.
I love your style as an educator! Have you ever thought of having a student leader in your classes? I set it up when I was in a sheltered ESOL classroom. I would get non-english speakers, and that added a whole new level to the, "OMGGoodness I have a new student" feeling. So, I let the students apply for the position. Their job was to help set up the new student's supplies, binders, journals, and be their procedure buddy for the first few days. I made a checklist to keep them on task, and made the student aware of where everything was located in my room.
Then once i broke students into an independent task or group activities, i could then focus on that student with more success. It was a game changer!!
I teach children and teenagers learn English. The position I posted about was also referenced in the past. I did not post to debate politics. If you are upset over the public school system, I encourage you to speak to your local representatives. Teachers have so many things on their plates. I just volleyed something that helped me with a similar situation she mentioned.
mountaingal homemaker I’m glad you are happy with your education choices!
What the other person stated was the law, not an opinion.
This TH-camr mentions so often that she is about positivity and making the best out of all situations. She works very hard to give ALL students what they need, and that’s what good educators do! We teach kids, we love kids, so in their future they can teach and love others too! We don’t judge.
I do hope you continue to help educators make education a positive place for children and encouraging your local government know your opinions on education. It takes a village!
Thank you for encouraging people to become teachers! I have people all the time telling me that I shouldn’t, but I see how happy it makes you and how passionate you are about it and it is inspiring!!! 😊😊
I love ur channel!!!! I have a friend thats a teacher & u channel helps me feel happyier & i can understand better about what my friend does at her job. Sometimes she gets sorta stressed after she gets home & i found ways to help her from u channel. In example... i found ways to make her some organizational stuff for her desk/classroom & got ideas on what to buy for her to make her teaching job easyier & more fun. She loves animals & fun colors so i already have some ideas to work with :) In another note, ur channel is just super amazing & fun to watch. Ur a positive, kind hearted & happy person. Watching ur videos cheers me up on my rough days. Thanks!! Stay awesome & be you
I am so grateful that you've created your TH-cam channel and TPT store. You are one of my teacher role models. I am always encouraged and inspired when I watch your videos!! Thank you so much for sharing, you've definitely made an impact on me as a teacher!!
We are a homeschooling family and we love watching you. And learning so much for you and a few other Teachers.
Hi, Michelle! I know you’re a perfectionist, so I wanted to make you aware of something I noticed in the “I can” statements you took down on Monday, the 10th. The third one that talked about participating with classmates said “my participating” instead of “by participating”. I love your videos and your TPT products! Glad you seem to be relaxing your expectations for yourself just a little. 😉
I love watching your videos! I love how you show both the amazing and tedious sides of teaching 🍎 I will have my BA next August and I start a credential program right away in September! Watching your videos makes me so excited to have my own students to impact.
Let the kids put the tabs in!
I am a homeschool mom of a 4th and 1st grader. I love watching your channel. You motivate me to be better at home with my kiddos! Hopefully you have a healthier week this week!!
I am currently a freshman in college and have been watching your channel since the beginning of last year because I also have a passion for teaching. Last year, I helped out in a first grade classroom every week and loved it. You always make me so excited for my future!
Michelle!!! I am not a teacher, in-fact, I’m in high school right now. But the reason why I found your channel was because for the longest time I wanted to be a teacher and I wanted to see what other teachers did in there daily lives. Now, my career path has changed and I want to do something different but I absolutely love your videos, even some of the advice you give helps me.
I absolutely love the idea of the tabs for the notebooks. It's genius and something I would probably do. I also loved the magnetic stem activities and the brain flakes. I'm going to have to add those. Love getting new ideas from your videos my friend. Hope you are feeling better!
You make my teacher heart ❤️ happy!! Your positive attitude is contagious!!
Thank you
I love living my life vicariously through you aha, i have always wanted to be a teacher since i was a wee kid. since I have a heart condition I cant be a teacher, but I love watching these videos and seeing how interactive and creative teaching is.
Bless your heart! There's no sick like teacher (or mom). We don't take sick days unless we can't function without falling out! Hope you are feeling better!
That applause sound bit lol. Those clay creations are soooo good and cute! Yaaasss DD!
Thank you so much for starting this channel. My senior year of high school everyone told I should become a teacher and I wasn’t sure and I thought it wasn’t for me. I can across your channel and was instantly inspired. I am now in college and majoring in elementary education. You are truly the reason I have made the decision to become a teacher.
I wait for your vlogs every week as I'm currently at university in Scotland for primary teaching. I begin my third year on Tuesday and I am so happy with the course I have chosen, I couldn't imagine doing anything other than teaching. Your vlogs give me ideas for when I go on my placements in schools and whenever I'm feeling stressed they make me realise how it is all going to be worth it in the end when I become a fully qualified teacher, so thank you.
all the symptoms you have I have at the moment too!! and i'm all the way in the UK!! oh the joys of working with kids
Love all your teacher vlogs. I hope you are feeling better
Hi... love the idea of tagging the sections in the kids books... I’m surely going to try that in the new year(south African new school year starts in January)... we identify sections with printed colour paper that kids stick in their books when we reach a new section....
Thank you for always inspiring me...
i love your videos Michelle! I'm a preschool teacher myself but i love how motivated you are and how much you care about your students! also love your classroom set up too! much love from California! Christine
I got the beginning of the year sickness on Wednesday. Also same with my ear feeling like water was in it. I love you so much!!❤❤
I find your channel and the content you create very helpful, inspirational, and motivational. Personally, I am not a primary teacher. I work at a childcare center and I take care of infants. However, when I found your channel, it completely inspired me to become a better teacher and take a whole new approach to my work. I started finding new ways to organize the infant classroom and make the space more inviting and fun. Watching your weekly classroom vlogs motivates me for the week ahead and encourages me to be the best teacher that I can be. I look up to you as a role model, for sure! I've been watching since the Spring of your last year of teaching 2nd grade. Love you! Thank you for everything you share with us!
using the fuzzies as rewards -- brilliant! and yes, it works. THanks for the reminder; I will be doing that AGAIN!
Your message with so beautiful! Your purpose in your vlog is great. This really shines the light on the meaning behind what you do. That is amazing! Your are truly inspirational! Love the notebooks! I am an interactive journal kinda teacher. Great ideas, thank you. What is your morning meeting g like? I have been doing small activities but they are taking too much time.
Hope you feel better. There's always that Sept/Oct weather transition in Chicago that can catch you off guard if you're not careful.
Week 4 for me...35 more to go!!!! (not counting though). Stay encouraged and keep it going girl!!!!!
The organization in your classroom and videos is just amazing! Thank you for inspiring me 😊
I love the way way the clear glasses look. You have some thoughtful students and very talented at that.
A daily dose of airborne or emergen c maybe be a life saver this year. I know it has helped me in my workplace, along with drinking A TON of water. I know that's hard when you don't get bathroom breaks
I've been going to community college for teaching, hoping to transfer to a 4 year. I work at an after school program with kids. I coordinate and create curriculum, schedules, fundraising, etc. And I love what I do!
Even though I’m not going into teaching over the past year and a bit your videos have not only provided me with entertainment but also an insight on how much effort teachers put into our education every day. Also side note every time I see anything to do with sloths I think of you, they really are an adorable animal😂😂.
I love your personality so much. This makes me beyond excited to be a teacher!
Those clay figures your student created are amazing! I can't believe a 4th grade did that much detail. They have a lot more patience doing that then I ever would, not to mention, you have a lot more patience then I would when creating, cutting, laminating and stapling all those tabs for the students' notebooks. I hope you get to feeling better!
Hiiii girl! I'm not a teacher nor going to school for it. I like watching you because of the energy you have in your videos. Good luck this school year
So I have been watching yours videos since like two days ago and you have motivated and excited me so much for my current year in university. I am studying teaching (in the Netherlands) and will be starting my internship at the end of September and again, you honestly made me extra excited for it! Thanks a million, you are a great teacher and person!
Julia Pankras Good luck! I’m glad we have a group of enthusiastic people wanting to be teachers!
I just discovered your channel, and I'm so excited about it!
LOVE your channel! I’m a 4th grade Reading class Aide and start my Student Teaching next Fall. Thanks for always sharing great content 😍
Hi Michelle...started the Ketchup and Pickle idea this week! It worked perfectly. P.S...putting up lights around our Smartboad on Monday! Thanks for the motivation!
This is so so so motivating!! Thank you for all that you do, have a great week !
I’m the same when getting a new student (the feeling of being overwhelmed) but what’s makes the transition easier is when my other students take ownership of making the new student feel welcomed!
I absolutely love your channel and can’t wait for more updates videos.
So I know most people are not big on surgical procedures but let me tell you I was in the same boat as you as far as being “allergy related” sick all year. I would totally look into seeing an ENT doctor when you can. Sinus surgery may change your life! If not they have other options too! Good luck love!!!!
Yes to the clear glasses! I love them!!
I have been waiting for this to upload so I started watching all of your videos you are an amazing person
During back to school night a parent told me something similar about how her child was happy to come to school because I am his teacher. It’s the most fulfilling thing a teacher can hear. It literally turns your day around. You are an amazing teacher, Michelle! Thanks for sharing your teaching experience with us. Your videos always make me feel so much better.
Im a fourth grader and i live watchin your clogs it inspires me necause your positive and helpful!!
I love this notebook idea!!
I'm a future teacher and your advice is sooo helpful. Thank you so much!😊
Your so inspiring im actually thinking about going back to college for teaching you make it look so fun for the kids
I am a teenager and want to be a teacher and when I watch your channel it inspires me . I have a whole binder filled with different ideas for when I am a teacher and half of them are from you ❤️
So excited for the film crew visit 😍 Wonder what'll that be for!! Great contents Teacher Michelle! God bless ya!❤
Sometimes I think what I’m getting myself into going into education but you make it seem enjoyable at times which gives me hope ! 🍎
One thing I do when I get a new student is to assign that student a “buddy” for the first few days. That way the buddy can sort of show the new student “the ropes”. Things like morning and lunch routine....etc.
Your videos are the best part of my entire week
I am in high school and I want to be a teacher! I love watching your channel and I love seeing an inside picture of a teachers life! Love these videos!
I watch your videos because I have always wanted to be a elementary school teacher since I was in kindergarten, (now I’m 15) and I love how your so positive and I totally would’ve wanted you as my 4th grade teacher!
I feel your head Cold! I’m starting week 3 with a sore throat, head pressure, watery eyes, etc. Hoping it takes leave soon! 😄
I am a middle school student and these videos make me appreciate my teachers so much more.
You are such a sweet teacher❤️
I am a first year teacher and your videos provide me with so much encouragement when I’m having a rough day❤️
I'm a retired teacher and I love watching your videos, but I still can't help referencing you to Amy on the Big Bang Theory.
I love your videos and wanted to tell you I just got hired to work at a Kindergarten and I should be starting soon! I’m so excited and always feel so inspired with your videos!
This cold is getting all of us! It comes and goes and you feel better for a bit then like death again!
I am a home school mom and I love your channel. You really inspire me. Thank you! -Tanya
I’m 11 years old and i want to be a teacher because you make it seem so fun and I love you and you make me smile so much and I love you !!😍😍💕
Shannon Tinsley same
You are an amazing teacher
You are so motivated
I am a TA and I love it.
Hello I'm a kid who loves your channel I really think you are an amazing inspiration keep up the good work!!!🤩
I love your outfit!!!
Love u so much ❤️❤️ have a wonderful day 💕💕
I’m not a teacher but it’s something I wanted to be when I was younger. I’m still not sure why I didn’t become a teacher but I can now live vicariously through you! Love your vlogs!
Those 'pink bins' she mentions had me pause and tilt my head, because for the life of me I couldn't get my eyes to stop yelling that it is orange on film! XD
I watch your videos for nostalgia. And to see how much different Grade School is compared to what it was then.
So yeah, entertainment :)
you are such an inspiration to me! i am a seventh grader but i have wanted to be a teacher for so long, i hope to be like you someday!
I bought those same brain flakes for my pickles time! Definitely going to look for some more activities!
Love your videos
You may be able to have your students place the tabs next year. When I was teaching 5th we had an interactive writing notebook. We had the kids number the pages on the first day of school (not gonna lie, it was tedious but I played music and they got it done) then we placed tabs on certain pages. They were able to keep a running table of contents in the front throughout the year.
students flipping to a random page in their note book and writing on a random page also happens in high school.... ugh! lol
Try a medicine ball from Starbucks! Best tea to help when you’re not feeling good.
I love your teacher organization videos it’s the best. Do you ever think you will film organization in your home? That would be great as a new channel
