I live for Michelle jabbing her straw into her drinks!
Megan Masters it is weirdly addicting isn't it?! 😅
😂
It's like one of those satisfying videos my teenage daughter watches on TH-cam!
Omg same 😂😂
Just read this. SAAMMMEEE!
I actually started ordering the same drink. I wanted to just try it and now it's my fave
I am in love with your loooong vlogs!!!!
Thank you SO much for filming your interview! It's really helpful to see how great teachers like you interview! You sounded amazing, professional, and enthusiastic! I would totally contact you if I ran a school!
Also, in terms of nervousness, I get a LOT of anxiety as well and even though I don't have it under control at all, I do have some tips! One of the things I try to do is turn my anxiety or nervousness into excitement. So if I were getting ready for an interview, instead of thinking about what could go wrong or something like that, I MAKE myself think about the good parts of interviews, like getting to connect with fellow educators, talking about education in general, or whatever else makes you happy! It doesn't work for everybody or every occasion, but it really helps me quiet my anxiety a bit. I hope it help you!
It would be a Privelage for any School to have her, her class room children will be blessed and their parents will know their kids are in good hands.Thanks Michelle.
We're moving on the 7th too...yay? 😅 Moving sucks so it's strangely comforting to know we won't be the only ones dealing with it this week 🙌🏼
So being a music teacher and a drama/speech/theater coach, I have had plenty of times where I have performed and have gotten used to being in front of people and being vulnerable, but the best advice that I have ever got is to eat a banana a half hour before your "performance" or anything where you get nervous! Bananas contain some serotonin and help you relax just a little bit!! It works wonders!! Plus lots of water with it! 😊
I waited all week to see how your phone interview went! I thought about you on Tuesday and said a quick prayer. 😘
Me too! My fingers have been crossed all week!
I AM SOOO Excited to see your classroom COLOR THEME!!!
Hi, Michelle! I was intrigued w your workout. Could you possibly post a list of the exercises you do?
I second that! I live very far from any gym but I do have a yoga mat and some workout tools. I'm already bookmarking this video to try and sketch out what I watched her do. It would totally work for me.
I was going to ask the same thing! Please do, I know it's not teaching related, but it looked cool and if it keeps you fit, I'd like to try!
YES! And songs she works out to!
Hi Michelle, great video as always. Just thought I´d drop a comment about interview nerves- I´m a fellow introvert, and I get easily nervous when I´m facing something (say an interview) and I just don´t know what the outcome will be and I feel like I have less control of the situation at hand. BUT I´ve been taught a seemingly silly but effective trick that my mom (who is a psychologist) taught me. I´m 26, so have had my own fair share of interviews, and this works every time! Basically, pick a subtle gesture (f.ex., crossing your fingers or toes, twisting a strand of hair, scratching your arm etc.) and repeat that gesture consistently whenever you´re feeling relaxed, at ease and completely in your element. Over time, you´ll begin to associate that gesture with feeling calm, cool and collected. So when you´re feeling intimidated, anxious/nervous, do that little gesture and it becomes like a little safety point and it helps me to feel more grounded. I know it sounds a little silly, but trust me, it´s really helped me overcome those butterflies during anxiety-provoking situations. Hope this helps, and best of luck with the move and all the interviews ahead. Cheers from Norway! :)
Getting nervous is good. It makes you focus more on what your doing and it means you care❤️
One thing I use for sleep are hypnotherapy videos here on TH-cam. I know it may seem crazy but I get such a relaxation from the calm voice and music that I just fall asleep. Recommended for all my family and they said it worked!
👏You did a great job. Praying you get the job. You were awesome. Praying all is well.Keep us posted.
Thanks for posting the filming of your interview. I will be teaching Kindergarten for the first time after 3 yrs of teaching Pre-K and your videos have been very helpful!
I am doing bright colors this year too. I would love decor....job chart... rules... calendar numbers... word wall letters.... I love Panera too! I have been making the strawberry poppyseed salad at home for myself!
I give you HUGE props for vblogging your interview! You were professional, on point and confident! The district and school would be enormously blessed to have you on staff!! I can't wait to hear an update. P.S. Your workout is great!! Again, Thank you for sharing. 😊🐱
I absolutely LOVE watching your Vlogs!
Thank you for this video!!! When they asked what was your weaknesses, what did you say? That question ALWAYS stumps me!
Just wanted to say so thankful to see someone my age who is teaching and the changes you are going through. I have ben following you since December 2016. I moved schools last year at the beginning of the year to another district! I was teaching at a Title 1 school as an ESL teacher in 4th grade with testing. It was an extremely difficult 1st year. I moved to a school with higher parent involvement in my new district. It is so easy to be hard on yourself and think that you could have done better. I was worried about how some of my interiews went and my experience from a Title 1 school gave me lots of experience in my 1st year. Administration gave me compliments on my interview skills after the fact. From what you let us listen to of your interview. You DID AMAZING with your interview!! Keep it up! You are an incredible teacher!
A packing tip I have always used is to use your sheets and towels to wrap your dishes/glasses to protect them. It does double duty!
Can you do a video on your gym workout? It looked like an awesome workout!
Hi! Can you do a video about using your Cricut for the classroom? ty...
I love the classroom decor.
Omg. YES PLEASE!
I would love that too !
Yes, yes, yes, I would love an entire decor set!!! I have been doing a different theme every year and am getting tired of doing that.
A portfolio video would be great! Could you also talk about first year teachers' portfolio vs established teachers' portfolio. What we should have and what we should add over time?
She actually has a whole video on her portfolio!
I'm really sensitive to caffeine, so if I have iced tea for lunch I sometimes struggle to fall asleep. But I do have two really important tips for falling asleep (and having better sleep). 1. If you drink caffeine or your mind just keeps racing, focus entirely on your breathing. Purposefully slow it down, slower than is necessarily comfortable. Then try to switch your thinking to something unrelated to real life and unemotional. For example, remembering the plot of a movie or fantasizing about skydiving, etc. 2. Go to bed at the same time every night and wake up at the same time. Within 10 minutes each night for a week. If you're not tired, stay in bed until you fall asleep and eventually you'll start to get tired at the same time each night. Make sure you're getting at least 8 hours per night.
Easiest way I've found to move furniture in parts is to just shrink wrap it together and use packaging tape to pack and attach the corresponding screws to it. If you can wrap those "packs" in a packing blanket or inside a TV box or other furniture (using shrink wrap), it works pretty well.
And I only got over the interview nerves because I went to a Teach Recruitment Day event at the end of my masters. It was 2 days and I had something like 17-20 interviews. Practice and doing it over and over really helped. I also got really good because my involvement level in undergrad and grad school. I was in clubs, I was an orientation leader, I worked with 2 campus offices, volunteered and worked at alumni events, I did grad student government, I was on 4 committees with University professors as well. It just takes practice!
Michelle, I decided to switch schools this spring for the first time in 14 years, which also meant I was interviewing for the first time in 14 years. Talk about nervous! The one school I was most interested in interviewed me on May 17, but I didn't hear anything until June 12....when they offered me a position. 🤗 So, I totally understand your interview angst!
I'm so so SO glad I found your channel!! Im currently working on my education degree and am a Teacher's assistant at a junior high. I especially work with special needs and students with disabilities and I've never felt so challenged in my life! This was my first year in a school environment and setting and I almost rethought my career path but the kids is what kept me going. Your videos have become very helpful and very informative that will be helping me in my career path!! Thank you so so much!!
You did great with the interview Michelle!
This video was SO helpful! We recently moved and Dollar Tree totally hooked me up with boxes. If you find out what day they stock, the managers gave me careful of boxes, and many were from dishes so they already had the cardboard dividers to protect everything. No wrapping needed!!!!! Hope this helps!
I really enjoy your videos and look forward to even greater things from you as you continue to grow in your profession. You're a natural! I have been doing a lot of research recently as I am currently job hunting; and your advice is on point. All the best to you as you relocate and share your greatness in another part of your state.
Hi Michelle! I am not a teacher in fact i am the opposite i am a student but i always look forward to watching your videos every week. I feel like you and me are very similar and it is very interesting getting to see a teachers perspective. I have anxiety and panic attacks so i could totally relate to your nerves about the phone interview. I see a councilor once a week and i have found going through a simple task in my head that I don't find stressful to really help calm me down. For example, when i start to feel nervous or anxious i may slowly go over the steps to making a peanut butter sandwich in my head. Obviously everyone is different, but i have found this works well to distract my brain in a good way.
I can't wait to get your alphabet cards!!!! Would love days of the week/months of the year cards with your cute clip art and fonts :)
You give me life! Every video you post inspires me just a little bit more than the last one. Thank you!
Love the bright color ABCs anything bright color and that design I will so be picking up!!
Hi! Could you post a workout playlist that you listen to while working out? Thank you!
You are so productive!!! I love your videos!!!
I love to watch your videos, I look for them every week. I feel like you since I have had to do interviews for teaching jobs in the fall and normally I am not a nervous person but as soon as they start something happens and I get so nervous. I feel like I am repeating myself a lot. On a side note we live about an hour away from Salisbury and visit 3-4 times a month. My daughter, who happens to be going into second grade, noticed the different places you were going this week and recognized it as Salisbury. When she saw you going into Panera Bread she said, how could she go without me? She loves Panera Bread. She likes to watch your channel with me.
I get the same way on interviews! Good luck and can't wait to hear that you got the job!
Here's a tip for moving: label all sides of the boxes so you can find things quickly. It helps a lot so you can find things in a pinch.
Also the photographer seemed so cool and his setup was awesome!
Love your vlogs! 👍 Looks like you've gotten some great suggestions here for sleep. Have you already put good sleep hygiene practices in place? Your vlogs show us your most productive times, so I'm hoping that off camera you have some downtime, especially a couple of hours before bed to slow your mind down & turn off blue light. Maybe set a whole pre-bedtime routine up of camomile tea, a warm shower/ bath, etc. Best wishes! 😴
Thank you sooo much for all that you do!!! I would totally love if you made a classroom decor set. One with alphabet, labels, word wall words, numbers, nameplates, job chart, and clip chart just different things to start a classroom. I have been watching you for a while, and I absolutely love everything you do! I am a first year teacher with a half year of experience if that makes sense (I graduated in December). I love all the brights you have in your room and that is totally what I am trying to do, but I can't find one that I have fell in love with yet!
I would love to see a video on how to create items for TPT. I can see where that may be a conflict with your shop however.
Just recently stumbled upon your videos & SO appreciate your real ness as I enter my first year of teaching. I just finished making a teacher toolbox and stumbled upon your bright colored labels, ended up liking your labels more than my own, and am now redoing my toolbox. Love your sterilite drawer labels as well! Now my classroom will match perfectly :)
I'm definitely with you on the sleep schedule issue. I had to wake up early in the morning and force myself to stay awake allday and then I fell asleep before 1 so today will be day 2 of this plan so hopefully I'll fall asleep earlier. Also if you need any help moving in/unpacking I'd be glad to. I know how it feels moving, we moved to Salisbury and from Salisbury within 2 years once I got my teaching job. Good luck!
Hi Michelle - I have absolutely loved watching your videos this year. I feel so inspired by your positivity and your outlook on teaching. Although I don't know you personally, I just know you are a beautiful person on both the inside and out.
When you were asking about products we would like to see, I would love to have products just like the colorful ones you showed of your alphabet, but instead of the rights I would love to have them more primary colors. My room does not have a theme, but uses red, blue, green, yellow, orange, and purple. I like the bright colors you have, but my room already is decorated in the primary colors so I would love to get some of your cute products with this color scheme. Thanks so much!
I never even noticed the difference and lighting. Your videos are so helpful!
You totally did amazing during phone interview! Totally confident and strong answers with no major lulls of awkward silence.
I can't wait to see your new classroom!! 😊😊😊😊
Thanks for the lesson plan templates. I love that they will work for my secondary classroom.
I can't wait to see your updated portfolio!!!! 😊
I had to laugh (in a good way) at your paper plates and plastic utensils. Every year during the first week or so and the last week or so of school, that's all we use at my house too. No way with all that happens when school starts & ends am I doing dishes! 😉 Also, when you were going through your binder and pulling papers- that was me in June. Not moving schools but I am moving grade levels and to purge binders of papers felt SO good!
I also do bright colors versus a theme in my classroom. I love your videos. Thank you for sharing with us! :)
Your car is very well trained to go to the good shopping spots! Always love watching your videos. You share so many amazing things with us. ❤️ and hugs from Missouri!
I've been so busy the past month that I haven't had time to keep up with your uploading schedule. I binged all the videos I missed last night so happy there's a new one today ☺️
I love your vlogs!! I think you did a great job with your interview! You sounded like you knew exactly what you were talking about, which you obviously did, and it didn't seem like you stumbled over your words much at all. I hope you get the position you're looking for! 😊 I'd also love to see a classroom decor pack from you. I've been looking all over for the perfect one, and I just can't decide. I love your products anyway, so I'd love to see what you create! 😁
I meditate and do yoga......both to relax before interviews and to help my sleep schedule. I also use CBT thought records when im stressed about something but can't quite put my finer on why or exactly what im stressed about (particularly before interviews)
And I LOVE your alphabet! I can't do bright colors in my room- but would totally buy it if you could also offer the colored stripes in black!
I'd love your ideas on healthy and easy lunch ideas during the school year!
I like that alphabet set! !! I totally need it in my class. Please include numbers and shapes !!!
I love the new alphabet posters! I would want that!
And just like that I am caught up on your channel. Now that its summer I wait to watch 2 or 3 at once. 😄 Can't to see the new place. I hope you do a tour in your vlog.
Awesome job on your interview, Michelle!
Hi I love you videos. I recently got my first job as a preschool teacher in the UK. I actually watched your interview tips video that you did a while about and it helped me get the job so thankyou !! I hope you get this job you sounded great in the interview
You had such wonderful answers for your interview! Slow down a little for the next one. It will make you seem more confident. Any school will be lucky to have you!
Ooo I'm loving the update to the lesson plan template! Thank you! Is it possible to make it a google doc? I switch between my school and home computer. Just a thought! :)
I love your videos. I'm not a teacher but I have two kiddos that I like to have purposeful play so I get some great ideas from you. I also love how organized you are! I have to ask, do you think you put too much pressure on yourself sometimes? For example, having to refilm the out of focus video right away because it " has to go up Tuesday" ... What if it went up on Wednesday or Thursday instead?
Also, your interview was awesome! Maybe you were 10x more nervous because THIS is the school for you. I'm sure a job offer is inevitable. 👍🏻
Good job Michelle. Congrats for 40k
Also, PLEASE make the decor set! I love the alphabet cards! :)
Love you videos!! One more year of teachers education for me and I can't wait to get the chance to grow as a teacher of my own and use your interview tips! Can you share what kind of camera you use to vlog, I'm in the market for a new camera!
Would you be willing to film a video about your TpT store about what program you use for you TpT products and especially where/ how you get some of your clip art? I'm a life member with ThistleGirls which have lots of cute clip art kids but if there are others out there I'd love to tap that resource. Thank you Michelle! You are a great resource yourself! You are also motivating me with starting a business of my own👍🏼
I love your videos! ❤️ Side note: I know you said you didn't like your eyebrows but they don't take away from your beauty girl! Try a lighter eye pencil to draw a shape you like & them fill in.
You are so awesome - love your vlogs! Keep them coming. :)
"Some how my car just randomly turned into this parking lot and I ended up at MIchael's" that is my LIFE. I wish I was kidding, Michael's is my cars Auto pilot. HAHA I also get a TON of anxiety doing interviews, and I feel like I cannot get myself across very well. I have applied for 60 jobs since May and have had 5 interviews :( and no job. I am so discouraged.
Kyra Herzog for teaching jobs? Omg that makes me nervous. Did you find a job yet
You did GREAT on your interview! I've been teaching for almost 20 years, and think that I'll be interviewing after this school year. I'm pretty sure I'm already nervous. LOL! Your TPT interview packet will be great! :-)
Great job on your interview! We are always our own biggest critic, but truly you did well! P.s. I am assuming there will be a haul video with your buys from this week? I live for those!
You inspire me !
The new lesson plan templates were so helpful! Thank you :)
You did a great job in your interview!!! 🎉🎉
Since your application is now complete, is there a job board you can get into for that district?
What program do you use to create your TPT materials? How do you deal with copyright for things like pictures, etc? Thanks
Michelle, its fine. You do a awesome job taping. chill!! lol
I will be teaching middle school this year... not sure how to go about decorating the room (it's a math classroom). Wish there were more middle school math youtubers (or middle school youtubers who were as consistent as you!!)
Loved how you filmed your interview and responses. It is incredibly helpful seeing how others answer. Where do you get your photos for your alphabet posters?
Can you make cursive and print posters! I cant find posters with both so the kids can see the difference between the two!
Maybe some cooking videos for the summer blogs?
Out of focus footage is the worst! I caught you on CJ Reynolds channel a few weeks ago. You're awesome. Thanks for sharing your teacher life:)
The job I want goes into phase 4 on Monday, so I can finally apply for it! It's been posted for weeks, but wasn't opened to outside applicants. I'll be checking out your interview prep pack. Hopefully it's relevant to middle and high school level teachers.
Thanks for putting up part of your interview!! You are amazing and it seemed so easy for you ( though I know it's not)! I really appreciate all your videos on interviewing and I can't wait to check out your new product. Just a tip: watch how many time's you say "like" as a filler word while answering questions!! I do this so much and I'm constantly checking myself when I speak too :p
Your so cute, I love watching your vlogs 😃😄 You did great on your interview 💜
OMG I LOVE YOU!!!! Where do you get all your amazing fonts??
Leah Cathrine I was going to ask the same question! 😁
Hey Michelle, thank you for working so hard on creating realistic & quality content for teachers. I'm a special area teacher but I still enjoy watching about what goes on in your classroom and life.
I'm a music teacher about to enter my 4th year of teaching. I'm in the New Jersey area if you're ever interested in collaborating on something involving arts integration or comparing classroom teaching with special area subjects. Might be an interesting endeavor :)
Oh my goodness, PLEASE do a workout routine!!
You did a great job with your phone interview!!! Talking on the phone is definitely more difficult. Good luck! 💕
Firstly, don't be nervous about any kind of interview. You're the kind of teacher any kid or school would kill to have
In my last teacher interview I was asked to name two things I loved about my then current school and two things I didn't like.
Why is it so satisfying when you put the straw in your coffee?? 😂
If you ever get nervous before or during an interview, eat a lot of potassium! I prefer either bananas or kiwis. I usually eat these before auditions (3 bananas preferably!)
I had trouble sleeping and getting into a routine. I found a essential oil from Young living it is technically a kids one but works great. It's called sleepize and I swear by it. Another thing that worked for me was making sure that I did not use my electronics 30 minutes before I was wanting to go to bed. The other thing I did was always making sure that I went to bed at the exact same time and woke up at the exact same time even if that meant laying in bed for a couple hours. Eventually my body was used to my new sleep schedule and even in the summertime when I'm off I try my hardest to stick to that and tell my body that I can do whatever I need to do tomorrow.😂
For the nerves, I'd suggest Bach Flower remedies. I also love A Ticket to Ride ^_^
Thank you for vlogging! ❤
You are amazing! 💖
