British teacher here just graduating and starting my first class in September! LOVE the timer idea! I get overwhelmed first thing in the morning and don't know where to start so that's such a good idea to get focussed. Thankyou!!!
I really liked the tip about setting a 10-minute timer in the morning. That was some really good advice as I do often get sidetracked in the morning. I will definitely try that this coming fall.
I've been watching tons teaching vlogs lately, because I am a junior in college majoring in early childhood education. I must say that you have such a unique vlogging style!! It's making me so excited to become a teacher in the future :)
Thank you! It seems like I made this video ages ago haha. I've been daily vlogging for a while now and trying to be creative and unique. Are you going to be starting your student teaching next year for your senior year?
Yes keep the creativity and uniqueness!! It's so much more entertaining and fun to get ideas from! And not quite yet, I just wrapped up my sophomore year so I will be a junior in the fall.
Ok gotcha! It's pretty cool that you are already interacting with teachers on youtube. You must have a passion for teaching! If you ever have any questions please ask. I started this channel for people in your situation :)
Mr Thain, stumbled across your vlog by accident, but ended up lounging and watching the first 10 back to back. Really interested in your practice. I am a teacher in the UK, so it is interesting to see the differences in teaching day/styles. I'm off to watch more now..... You are becoming my professional Game of Thrones. :-) keep it up!
I am currently majoring in early childhood education, and I must say your channel is helping me. I am one of the only males with this major and also in my town there are no male elementary school teachers. When I go on youtube, there is only female teacher vlogger. I am hoping to become the first male kindergarten teacher in my town.
+george lafleur I'm glad that I have been able to help! Yeah there are not many male elementary teachers where I am from either. It's awesome that you want to join the club!
Your classroom is huge! I have been a teacher in Mexico in nice private schools and never had that much space! I would be crazy happy with a class like that!
Thanks for the vid. I spent the last 14 years in middle and high but am transitioning to elem next year. So I'm trying to figure out what it's all about!
First 20 minutes here. Can u break it down more and show more details? I pulled a small group today and had everyone working on making words, but each game board was at the level of each child. They LOVED it! You would have been so proud!
red team. blue team. yellow team. and green team. bare with me here... Gryffindor Ravenclaw Hufflepuff and Slytherin. It's already set up it's just asking for it! I love Harry Potter classrooms!
Love ❤️ you’re beautiful classroom set up! I also enjoy that you are so organized I am also a kindergarten teacher and I must say I truly enjoyed your video! Do you have an assistant teacher?
do you do small groups based on ability level or another way? is math and reading groups organized differently? do you have bins for workboxes for math and seperate ones for reading?
not many male Kindergarten teachers. my neighbor teaches 4th grade and he says that there is a stigma concerning men and young kids. i never really thought about it myself. i had only one male teacher in all of grade school and he was great.
I love how big ur classroom is I going to school to become a special ed. Teacher I have mild cerebral palsy so I would love to have a big classroom so I can move around because I have cerebral palsy I have to be physical active because of my stiff and tight legs how did u end up with a big classroom
My mom said not to be a teacher and I want to be a teach so do you have any advice and what grade do you teach I want to be a kindergarten teacher and is it fun to be a teacher please respond
I have to ask, how do you overcome a kid's math anxiety. A lot of people struggle with math later in life. The very word itself sounds so unpleasant. A five-year-old has possibly heard their older siblings or cousins complaining about their math homework or how they barely scrapped a C on their report card for whatever math subject they took.
it is weird to see a boy teacher teach i normally have Girl teachers it is so cool that you wanted to be a teacher when i grow up i want to be a teacher too.😀
Once you get into middle school, you'll start to see more male teachers, especially in High School. I remember back when I was in elementary school, there were only two male teachers. I only had one of them as my teacher. But once you grow out of elementary school, you don't really pay attention to what gender is your teacher is.
Very true. We only had 1 male elementary school teacher. But middle and high school was a good mix. Personally I really enjoyed my male teachers, they usually made class a ton of fun!
You don’t see a lot of male elementary school teachers. But once you get into middle and high school, you will see more and more. I have 5 teachers right now and 3 of which are males. :)
The parent did not say anything at the time but I spoke to her at conferences and she agreed with the consequence. Since that time the student that could not go has been MUCH better!
My tattoos can all be covered up easily for job interviews so it was never a problem. Although now I feel that I would not want to work at a school or for a principal that wouldn't hire someone due to tattoos. In fact my first principal had more tattoos than me haha.
Your bow tie and suspenders are adorable!
Why thank you :)
You're welcome! :)
Kyle Thain I love your videos

No problem! The timer does really help me and I find that I get much more done when I set one.

Glad to hear it Jacob. If you ever have any questions or topics for videos that you would like to see let me know!

Wow very good video great for starting teachers👨🏫👩🏫
AMAZING!! Can u do another video like this at this point in the year?
red team. blue team. yellow team. and green team. bare with me here... Gryffindor Ravenclaw Hufflepuff and Slytherin. It's already set up it's just asking for it! I love Harry Potter classrooms!
😂 I had the same thought.
So inspirational!! Great videos :)
How dependent are your kids? I'm thinking about doing teaching as well as film at university but i'm not sure what age level to do.
How do you teacher calendar? Does your school provide a particular math curriculum for kindergarten? Love your videos!
Love ❤️ you’re beautiful classroom set up! I also enjoy that you are so organized I am also a kindergarten teacher and I must say I truly enjoyed your video! Do you have an assistant teacher?
love your classroom!!!

Can you do a classroom management video
OH MY GOD.... ITS A KITTY CAT!!!!
Honesty, so difficult to find vlog or video about senior high school teacher, coz I am.
However, your videos help me. Well done.
Try Real Rap with Reynolds. He teaches English Lit to a bunch of High School Freshmen.
I love how big ur classroom is I going to school to become a special ed. Teacher I have mild cerebral palsy so I would love to have a big classroom so I can move around because I have cerebral palsy I have to be physical active because of my stiff and tight legs how did u end up with a big classroom
Instead of "ignorance or defiance" I use the terms "skill or will", same thing but mine rhymes and has fewer syllables ;)
I love that!
By the time i’m done with my bachelors in elementary education I would be 38 or 39 years old is that too old to be a early childhood education teacher
My mom said not to be a teacher and I want to be a teach so do you have any advice and what grade do you teach I want to be a kindergarten teacher and is it fun to be a teacher please respond
My husband and I love watching Game of Thrones together too.

Go Blackhawks! 😉
It's too bad they stunk in the playoffs this year :(
We'll get 'em next year!

What did that parent have to say about the field trip thing? Just curious.
The parent did not say anything at the time but I spoke to her at conferences and she agreed with the consequence. Since that time the student that could not go has been MUCH better!
i love your classroom
Thank you! I try to make it neat and organized.

+Emily Gettens I teach kindergarten. I've taught 5 years all in K!

🎃 patch
Brain boxes!
I see you have tattoos, did you ever have a problem finding a job due to that? Not judging just wondering.
My tattoos can all be covered up easily for job interviews so it was never a problem. Although now I feel that I would not want to work at a school or for a principal that wouldn't hire someone due to tattoos. In fact my first principal had more tattoos than me haha.
Mr. Thain Ahhh okay... (: that's great!
We have a great school principal with lots of tattoos and red hair 🤪
What grade do you teach?
He teaches Kindergarten.
