The fact that you can verbalize in such detail what you do each day in such an organized manner...you were meant to be an elementary school teacher! I am not super religious but God bless you!! 😄
“They probably don’t remember applying..... but that’s OK they’ve been hired” 😂😂😂😂💕
You are the teacher I want to become. When I'm sad I watch your videos and you remind me why I choose Teaching as a career. You remind me I'm becoming a teacher because I love kids and I love to work with kids. I had a bad first day on Thursday at my new teaching site. Thank you for the inspiration
anyone else miss the unboxing hauls? i just like seeing what other people buy because it just satisfies my need to shop without having to spend money
Hi. I started watching your videos at the beginning of the school year and you make me want to be a teacher. I know teaching is hard work, but I love grading papers for my teachers. Thank you so much for helping me find what I am passionate for. You are the best.
I’ve been teaching for 19 years and I have a suggestion: Every once in a while go tech free for a whole day. We get so used to all this wonderful technology at our fingertips: slides, videos, apps...that it really does help build our skills as educators to think outside the box, and discover of new ways to reach our kids to drop it all occasionally.
I would say that she does use a variety of ways to reach her students. Her slides are how she organizes her day, just like a paper planner. From what she presents here, she is not using techology for everything. She uses manipulatives and games...books and experiements. I think her classroom is a great mix. Technology is a tool that we can abuse or we can use to enhance the experience in our classrooms. These kids are growing up in an age where they will have to use technology in a lot of areas in all of their future jobs!
Also, some districts want teachers to include tech in their lessons. I don't find her to be overly dependent on tech. There have been days when her tech wasn't working and she was able to adjust.
Cool
You mean devices
And I will say - I have been teaching 28 years and in the past 9 months I have learned so much about tech that I wish I had know YEARS ago.
I plan for the week, it would drive me crazy to plan daily. Also, i'm out at 4:00. 6:00 is crazy. you are amazing.
Thanks for sharing how you set up your lessons! I love the practicality of your videos!
Hi Michelle. I just wanted to say that I find your videos very inspiring. I have been teaching for 11 years and after a difficult class last year, I felt like I had lost my passion for teaching. Watching your videos, and having a much nicer class, I have fell in love with teaching again - thank you.
I lead reading in my primary school (UK) and you keep mentioning Reading Olympics which sounds a great way to promote reading for pleasure. What is reading Olympics?
Keep doing the fantastic job that you are. Vicky x
Michelle, your growth as a teacher is so apparent in the recent videos. It really helps to be in a school that supports your success. Kudos to you!
I remember doing “Look Quick” when I was in 4th and 5th Grade Math!
6th hi Michelle I am a student I love all your videos I am still a student but you make me want to respect and do extra for her to make her day better, you make my day better by the way I want to move to Maryland so I can be at your school, I want to be a teacher and you inspire me to follow my dreams if you even see this thank you
If your school gets more iPads or Chromebooks like my school our teacher sometimes does Kahoot which is like a quiz game thing and it's really fun!!
Megan Bass my school does that too
Maream aziz why
My teacher gets to school at 5 every day I fell bad I love you channel
Your videos are amazing! I'm going back to school to get my MAT degree and I absolutely am obsessed with watching your videos! they are so so so so informative and helpful!
That was a busy week! I got tired for you while watching! I’m so impressed with your dedication to teaching, and your service to the profession! ❤️
Well done with lesson planning for your obs. It was great to see the use of activities for differentiated learning to support the lesson.. I like your conference report setup page. You have some great ideas. Smiles from down under.
Greatest showman soundtrack
Watching your videos has become a part of my Sunday morning routine 💕 you are amazing!
I had a long talk with my daughters about bullying after my sister who lives with us quit her job due to being bullied by a grown woman in her 60s. I told my girls that bullies can come in people of all kinds and sadly all ages. It was 2nd time she'd been bullied at her employer the first time was a woman who'd bullied her in school and obviously hadn't grown up like most school bullies
I love all of these videos. You have a ton of great ideas! I don’t know where you get all of your drive from! Good for you, and even better for your students and your school. 💕💕 * also, loved your thoughts on “weakness” as category. I agree. Glad you are your own person.
love your channel, Michelle! you’re going to hit a million so fast I can feel it. ❤️🤞🏼🙏🏻
I love you so much. You Inspire me to be a better teacher and a better human. Thanks for sharing your gifts with all of us. Greetings from Australia!! 😊🌸
YAAY! Happy Sunday, Michelle! 😀❤️
Loved your vlog this week especially the ending! I teach 2nd Grade in Texas and I would myself overworked. I’m 5 months pregnant and I have been thinking of myself more and the baby. I agree with you that taking time to reenergize helps to be able to give more of yourself as a teacher to your students! 💜
Too funny, you said "refill your cup" and I was pouring my coffee right when you were saying that! Thank you for being so honest in your videos you are a true motivation!
You are honestly the best teacher EVER!!! I will be using the kind 🍁 leaf, the wrinkled heart and the story “one” for my homeschool morning gathering time. Thank you for sharing. We really appreciate you. ✏️ 📚 🍎
I love your videos so much. You inspire me xx
Hi Michelle! I love your channel so much! I’m a sophomore in high school and want to become a teacher when I go to college. Your weekly vlogs are so fun to see what it is like being a teacher in real life.
Hi Michelle, I was wondering what you do to differentiate. I struggle with this the most when it comes to it. This would be so helpful! Thank you! Have a great weekend!
I'm new to this channel but I already love it! Been spending the whole weekend watching videos from it. A bit confusing sometimes as I am not from The US, so the school system is something I'm not familiar with at all. But it's still fun to watch :D
You’re the best!! Haha it was so funny when you were mentioning getting coffee and said, “I don’t know, I don’t have the best logic”. You deserve that coffee and more! I’m always inspired by all you do and your heart shines through!❤️
Michelle, I love your videos so much! You’re such a sweet teacher. I’m in fifth grade and you inspire me it be a teacher!
I recently completed my undergraduate degree in Primary Education (I can teach Years/Grade 1-6) and throughout my degree I'd watch your videos. You're a very inspiring person, you really have a buzz that's contagious. Watching you I just want to reorganise and be productive, you also make me see why I think it was good that I left teaching. For me, seeing you so busy.. the youtube, your TPT store, the lesson plans, the resources, the teaching... you're constantly switched on, I don't know when you have down time... or even if you manage it. I remember you saying you love being busy, but what I learnt is that whilst I love teaching children, I cannot be a teacher. To be a teacher means to sacrifice, which is why I think you're incredible. Michelle, I truly don't know HOW you do it all. That also goes to every teacher in the comments - an absolute inspiration, I wish I could shake everyone's hand. Michelle you are always so happy, energetic, enthusiastic - even though I don't teach anymore, you're still a major role model that I aspire to become.
love your videos!!!!!keep up the good work!!!
I’m a classic over thinker too!! Lol
I'm in the middle of writing constant teaching application cover letters, so this is a nice but relevant break. Loving the content, and can't wait for the next one :)
Wow Michelle, I love your observation lesson. I love how prepared you are with the google slides. I am new to google slides and love playing with them....I would love to see a tutorial on how you make your slides so pretty.
So happy to have found your page! I am loving all your videos. I will be intern teaching in the same county you actually teach in ☺️ small world!! Do you have any videos on you lesson planning?
I would love a video on what you do for student motivation! I am a new teacher and this is important to me and I want to be able to motivate my students to reach and learn more.
always love your ideas
Hey you are really a great teacher and I am using a lot of your ideas.
Hello early people! Love the new vid Michelle!❤
Excellent topic!
Please, please, please work on your National Board certification. You're exactly what a NBCT is. I am a middle school teacher, and you inspire me so much. You're a fantastic educator. I would love for my kiddos to be your class.
I agree. I work in a neighboring district and a ton of my colleagues are NBCT.
Michelle, I love your vlogs, I’ve been watching since day one! Since you don’t film much in your class, would you consider doing some mock lessons in your home office? Like go through the flow of a math lesson from start to finish? I teach first grade and this is my first year, and I’m struggling with keeping up with the flow of the math lesson and we use the same model as your district does. Not sure if this made sense 😩😩 but I have no problem clarifying if you need it. Love you girl 💜 and thanks so much for sharing ☺️🤗
I wholeheartedly approve of your new letter board quote. 😊 We need a t-shirt!
Hi Mrs. Ferré i am in the 4th grade I love your video I am in the same County that you teach it is so fun to watch your video.
44th, and by the way, I am very inspired by you. Great job, you seem like a wonderful teacher 👩🏫! Thanks for the great videos!
You are AWESOME! :D
I am obsessed with your glasses!!! Where are they from? ❤️❤️❤️
Random topic: she has the same glasses as my mom!
So you learn something new every day! I thought it was pronounced ree siz and had NO idea it was ree sees!
Hi Michelle! I love your videos so much you’re amazing and my inspiration. I am 15 yrs old and I want to become a teacher, But I feel degraded by my parents since my brother is a vet and of course they want their daughter (me) to follow as well. Regardless I will follow my dream but what did you do during highschool and throughout college to help you become such an amazing teacher?
I am 8 and I want to be a teacher Soo this is amazing for good facts!
Hello Michelle! I love your videos! How do you find time to do everything?!?!
I love your channel so much,I have my own little room to play teacher and when I grow up I strive to be a teacher because I want to change students lives and make sure they can have the most amazing year ever so watching your videos help me for the future where we might not have youtube and I have to teach based off of my perspective and I know sometimes that's appropriate but other times I like being a follower on your channel. What grade do you teach?
hi Michelle! Had you ever have to deal with parents, that threatened you with the lawyer cause they didn't agree with your assessment of there
child?
That's crazy! No judge will take that case seriously unless abuse or obvious mistreatment is happening, but I understand that's still scary! A judge will straight up be like why are you wasting the courts time? Just put your child in another class
I once had a parent threaten me by saying they were going to call the school board. The principal just looked at me and said "If they DO call, the school board will talk to me and they'll see that you've done everything right. There's nothing you have to worry about.". They never actually called. That was my first year of teaching. As long as you're doing things the way you are supposed to, there's no way they can hold a case against you.
However, these parents did get escorts any time they were on campus and the principal told me that I was not to be in the same room with them based on their behavior. My current school does not allow unaccompanied parents to walk in the school unless they are registered volunteers. Such crazy times we live in!

Looking quickly at the top of your sub notes, it looks like you start school much later than we do. We start at 8 and end at 2:10. (Southern Oregon). What are your school hours? Later would be nice since many of our kids do not function well by getting up early. ☺
Love watching your channel and your enthusiasm for learning as well as teaching the kids!
No one asked ...... she would talk about something like that.🙄
I love your videos😄😄
Hi Michelle! I know you got an iPad not too long ago. Did you get the regular iPad or the iPad Pro? I just got the regular iPad, and was wondering how you liked yours?
Loved this vlog by the way 😃💕
I am not a teacher, but I love your videos!
All our observations are unannounced. Be thankful you were able to prepare for yours!
In my old county, I had four unannounced formal observations every year. I have had both structures... announced and unannounced. There are advantages and disadvantages of each. With an announced formal observation, you have to write a very in-depth lesson plan (meaning 6-7 pages for a single lesson) whereas that is usually not required for an unannounced observation. The expectations are usually higher for an announced observation as well.
Hi Michelle, love watching your vlogs. I just have a question for you. All those worksheets that you give the students do you create them yourself or are they provided by the curriculum that you use? Also I’ve never used Google slides are they similar to PowerPoint slides?
JJ
Personally i like to use strengths and limitations rather than weaknesses, to be limited has less negative psychological connotations than to be weak, also limits are there to be worked on and raised and that seems more achievable than to take a weakness and turn it into a strength. I teach psychology and words are very important psychologically speaking, but i do feel it just gives something easier to work toward achieving than tackling a weakness. That said this is what I love about being a teacher, everyone comes at it from their own perspective and makes it their own, love that freedom it gives to be the kind of teacher you want to be xx
DId she not already explain why she prefers "weaknesses?" Please listen to her words, as you stated they are so very important...psychologically speaking.
@@tinagood640 This is the problem with people jumping on people in the comments section, i was just explaining what i use, this was in no way me having a go at Michelle at all!! Teachers share their methods with each other and she didn't mention the word limitations - i shared it because maybe others would like alternatives to use and because i myself really like using this - i watch Michelle to learn and to grow as a teacher and to share my practice. I rarely do it because people like you who think they are clever with their comments jump on others, what is sad is that people are not allowed to have a say or an opinion on here if it goes against Michelle and this wasn't against her this was just another opinion... I was excited to share it till you weighed in with your nastiness - thanks for ruining it for me and making me want to just not bother AGAIN!!
You look great in orange! 😊
Love your channel. Where do you get your Pose a Problem and Conceptual Task Cards...LOVE Them!
At my school we use WALT and WILF. Walt stands for we are learning to and wilf stands for what I am looking for
Hi. I’m 11 years old and I’ve always loved school. I know I want to be a teacher when I grow up and I know most things but I do have one question. If I am out where can I get a substitute for my class?? Thank you!
Lol I am in 6th grade and I leave before you In the morning😂😂 I leave at 6:25 to walk to the bus because I have to go to band before my classes.
Hi I love your videos even though I am still student.
Question: how do you all structure conferences with departmentalization? At my school I don’t teach all subjects m but I conference with my homeroom parents on all subjects and it’s a bit weird.
Congrats on the observation!
Out of curiosity, how much prep time do you have within your contract hours? I have NONE unless I give up my lunch. But I always get so jealous whenever I hear you talk about being able to go over plans, prep, etc. during the school day.
I wish you could record any of your classes!
Hello love your vids
Hey love your vlogs
I am in 6th grade and I would love it if you came to Oklahoma to be my math teacher because mine is kinda rude 😩
Hi I’m a kid I’m in 3rd and I’m 8 years old and I love your videos ✌🏻✌🏻✨
Hi Michell I’m in 6th grade and I love your video you inspired me and I might want to be a teacher like you make my day a good day but I’m a small TH-camr
Great video I have been watching your channel sense I was in 4 th grade I am now in 6th and I LOVE your channel I have always wanted to be a teacher and you have motivated me more and more to fulfill that dream and seeing how hard you guys work and how much kids need to appreciate teachers more! I love you keep the AMAZING content goinnnnnggg
Hi! What app do you use to create the slides and how do you get the pictures in? Not sure if you did that video before but I haven't noticed. Thanks! Great video
I understand having a busy week, or at least the feeling that it was busy.
You mentioned on Thurs you were reading to a Kinder class. What book did you end up reading to them?
I am beginning as a substitute in Nov. I hope the teachers I do sub for will be as organized.
How did your classroom end up green? I looove it
Hi Mrs.Ferre it's Gianni love the video
It's all fun and games until you trip or hit your ankle on it. I've done that so many times.
HI Michelle
36 minutes vlog .... yay dinner and vlog me please !!!
I'm so jealous of your organization skills. All of your observation tips were so helpful, and I love that you dress up to feel better. Also, I never thought of the pockets comment, but you're right--as teachers, we hold so much.
Please check out my teaching vlog. I also vlogged about getting observed in my kindergarten class.
Hi love your viedos you are so inspiring
Very nice video, but I have one question: are the confrences student led?
Would you be interested in doing an episode on vocal hygiene. I've just lost my voice as an educator for the THIRD time! I'm going to be looking into professional help of course but I think it would be cool to talk about as it's something people don't really consider entering into the profession! :)
That's so sad. We have microphones in our schools so when my throat goes out I use the mic. I've seen Michelle also use mics in her classroom.
I have read the book One in third or forth grade
Can you make a video about teaching classes with super small numbers?
Hope you get your own donated Chromebook cart so you can have them whenever.
That would be AMAZING! As of right now, the four 4th grade teachers share the cart. I get Chromebooks for about 50 minutes for block 1 and block 2 once a week.
Where did u get the doorbell from?
Dang you are organized!
Millisa Gable Amazon x
Hello! What is the name of the Block 2 Math Game Worksheet (with Dice & Counters) featured toward the end at 34:28? Is it available on your TpT Store? Which Resource Pack is it part of?
Where did you get the wireless doorbell?
Hey awesome I ab"SOULUTE"ly LOVE your CHANNEL!
How do you add in that timer that you showed in your slide show at 9:28?
Cassidy Walters this is pretty late but she gets a video from TH-cam she included this in a video but I’m not sure which one
@@alla3469 She said she made it herself :) It's on her TPT Rotation Boards btw
Why is the google slide set called an area model and not just partial products?
Anybody else wanted her as your teacher
I realize not every parent can make it to conferences, but it is a bit disappointing that not all make it out. Just think it's important when parents show an active interest in their child's education.
