    Have a great trip. You deserve it. No one except a teacher understands all the work that goes into missing school and then all the work that you have to do when you get back.

    • @PocketfulofPrimary
      @PocketfulofPrimary  7 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      I totally agree! It is such a hassle it isn't even worth it most of the time! I don't even want to think about everything I will have to do when I get back yet... ugh. Thank you so much though! I will definitely enjoy!

    I have finally caught up on all of your videos! Michelle, please know that you are making such a huge difference not only within your students, but in the teaching community! I will be graduating in May and begin applying for teaching positions and thanks to YOU, I feel like I've got a great starting point in so many areas of teaching! I appreciate your genuine love for what you do and all of the honesty and realness! You've got a lifelong subscriber in me! 💗😊

    You are the hardest working teacher I have ever seen! You care so deeply about your students. I am glad you are going on a cruise! I have been teaching for ten years, and teaching can be soooo stressful! Don't think about your classroom and students while you are on your cruse! ! Enjoy every minute of your vacation!!

    • @PocketfulofPrimary
      @PocketfulofPrimary  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Aww, thank you so much! Hearing that is such a compliment and I really appreciate it! Yes, I definitely am glad as well because I have realized I am starting to get burnt out (hate to admit it) and need a break. Although before I even left I was already having nightmares about my students with a substitute 😂

    At the very end of your video, you showed your desk all ready for your sub. I had to laugh because mine usually looks very similar. My team always tells me I do too much, but I can't help it. It is nice to know that there is another young teacher like myself out there!

    Long term sub plans are the worst. I had 3 1/2 weeks of medical leave earlier this year to plan for. Intense.

    • @PocketfulofPrimary
      @PocketfulofPrimary  7 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Yikes! 7 days was enough for me... I can't even imagine prepping 3 and a half weeks! That sounds painful to say the least. I hope you are doing better now though!

    • @ElaHumanRightLawyer
      @ElaHumanRightLawyer 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Why is it so hard? I have difficulty imagining this part of teaching.. is it coz it is hard to find ideas for what a sub can teach a class?

    I discovered Frixion pens about a month ago and I am hooked! I have quite the collection now because I love all of the formats. They are SO much better than the original erasable pens - different formulation/concept altogether I think. I wonder whether the boy who was playing up is actually going to miss you and just didn't know how to express himself. My difficult boy tends to do that. He loves myself and his teacher assistant, but gets angry and upset if we are away, so we suffer beforehand if he knows we are not going to be at school. I am really looking forward to your cruise vlog.

    • @PocketfulofPrimary
      @PocketfulofPrimary  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I totally agree! They are the best! I kind of wondered that as well... I think that's why there were so many behavior issues my last day there. It's just frustrating because it's like "I love you all and I'm going to miss you but then I have days like this and I'm glad I'm going" 😂 Thank you so much!

    Have a WONDERFUL trip! You deserve it. I am currently in the middle of interviews for a position for next year and since this will be my first teaching job it's very stressful. I have no doubt that you will find the perfect position in your new county!

    • @PocketfulofPrimary
      @PocketfulofPrimary  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you so much! You're so sweet! Best of luck with the rest of your interviews! I'm sure you will rock it! I know it can be stressful but know that it will all work out! I agree, I think wherever I end up in my new county will be exactly where I am supposed to be!

    How does it work taking time off during term time in the US? In the UK you are permitted a day off for getting married or moving house, but never for vacations! That would be disciplinary over here - just curious how it works over the pond? x

      Millie Caruso Millie Caruso Hey! This is a year late but basically Ketchup and Pickles is something where you give x amount of time for students to “ketchup” on work and “pickle” is when they can pick something (fun?) to do. Hope that helps!

    I am an inner city middle school teacher, who teaches 4 different grades in ESL. I teach 6, 7 and 8 language arts and a mixed group of 7&8 Social Studies. Additionally, I travel so that means I don't have my own classroom. Oh boy, am I ever stressed!!! Like you, I am a highly energetic, can - do person. You are adorable and very animated, BUT, I find it peculiar that you can do all you do: Teach 24 second graders, with all the prepping and correcting, VLOG so wonderfully with all the sound effects and fast forward motions, go to the gym, go on vacation, and find time to do the basic necessities of life. Am I missing something? Is this all you, or is someone...some very creative professional non teacher vlogger helping you behind the scenes?

    Just wondering, if you are away for a week, do you you have the same sub for all of those days, or a different sub each day??

    • @PocketfulofPrimary
      @PocketfulofPrimary  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That's a great question! Typically it's the same sub for all of the days because they want consistency. However, I originally only took off Monday-Friday but then the dates of the cruise changed slightly so I had to put in for the following Monday and Tuesday as unpaid days. So I have one sub for the first 5 days and then a different sub the last 2 days but as I was leaving my principal said she was going to try to keep the sub for the first 5 days for the entire time if she could!

    Could you explain to me what Ketchup and Pickles is? I have tried to find a video with it but I didn´t :) But I am curious.

    • @PocketfulofPrimary
      @PocketfulofPrimary  7 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      I don't have a specific video on Ketchup and Pickles but I think I have explained it in a few of my videos. I typically do Ketchup and Pickles every Friday (or the last day of the week) to give my students an opportunity to catch up on work they didn't finish or missed while absent. "Ketchup" students are those who have work to "catch up" on and "pickle" students are those who are completely up to date on work and get to "pick" a more fun activity such as reading on the iPads, playing Prodigy on the laptops, math puzzles, silent reading, etc. Hopefully that makes sense! I have a freebie in my TpT store with slides you can project! Here is the link:

    • @adelynelee
      @adelynelee 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      She has it in her TPT store. Ketchup is students who have work to catch up (ketch-up) on and Pickles is students who can pick an activity to do because all of their work is completed. I use it in my classroom on Fridays and my class loves it!

    Any tips regarding young teachers working with middle aged/about to retire teachers? It is hard to work with teachers knowing that they are judging based on my age. The following year, I will be a full time resource teacher, collaboration is key, and I am worried that it will be difficult because who would want to be open to ideas/strategies from a 26 year old! Never imagined I would ever feel like I wanted to look older.

    • @PocketfulofPrimary
      @PocketfulofPrimary  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      You just have to be confident in your abilities and know that you have something to offer them! I was very intimidated to offer any of my ideas to my team teachers my first year and even most of my second because I felt inadequate in comparison since they have so much more experience. But once I started giving them my ideas, I found that they responded really well to them! Just give it a shot because you never know! Every teacher has strengths and weaknesses so if one of your strengths is one of their weaknesses I promise you will be able to help them!

    Hi! Thank you for your blog! I just get a bit worried for you, cause you seam to work so many hours! Im a new teacher too and I know what you talk about but don't work too much so you go into the wall in the end... Limit down the expectations on yourself.. You are good enough!

    • @PocketfulofPrimary
      @PocketfulofPrimary  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      I appreciate your concern and I completely understand your viewpoint! It's hard to explain... but it's a part of who I am. If I wasn't putting this much effort into teaching, I would be putting it into something else. I am just the type of person who always has to be working. I do take time for myself though :)

    Are teachers from your current school allowed to take there school issued computer home with you

    • @PocketfulofPrimary
      @PocketfulofPrimary  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes! We each have an issued school laptop and can take it home if we wish. However, I don't ever take mine home because I use my personal laptop!

    Hello! ! I was wondering if you only can select a few people to answer questions or to make comments back. I dont see where you answered my questions for you. I know you are extremely busy so I was just wondering. Thank you so much and again enjoy your trip.

    Great vlog! Just curious, do you think the other teachers at your school work as hard as you do? Also, did you get the job in the new district? Have a wonderful vacation!

    • @PocketfulofPrimary
      @PocketfulofPrimary  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I'm sure some do but I'm sure a lot of them who have been teaching much longer have so many more resources to pull from that it doesn't take them quite as long, if that makes sense. It's also hard to tell because some teachers work at school and some take work home! I have completed the screening interview with the new district but they don't start interviews at specific schools until May 8th! So for now I am just waiting! Thank you so much for your well wishes! ❤️

    Hey! I stumbled on your video and I noticed that you filmed on April 21. If you didn't know that is the national day of silence. Does your school do anything with the day of silence?

  • @juls2588
    @juls2588 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Wow, first off can I just say your classroom is really cute 😆. Also, I'm feel really dumb asking this, but what was that testing you were talking about? I've never heard of it before so I was just curious. Thanks 😊

    Why don't you plan ahead with your team? We are required to have plans done two weeks ahead and copies are made for the team by assistants---I know we are very lucky to have that help. Enjoy your cruise!!! 🚢 ☀️ 💦

    • @PocketfulofPrimary
      @PocketfulofPrimary  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      We do plan together during our weekly PLC meetings on Wednesday mornings! However, planning with my team is completely different than writing sub plans. When I plan for myself, it doesn't take nearly as long because I don't have to be as detailed. Unfortunately, we have to make all of our own copies!

    • @NViousBeauty
      @NViousBeauty 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Pocketful of Primary Oh ok! 👌🏻 In our school we expect subs to follow the regular lesson plans so we don't write specific plans for them. We do have to have sub binders that explains in great detail our schedule, procedures, and expectations.
