Yay, love the ball. Already have many of the things featured in your video, but I do not have that ball and I need it. I wonder if Amazon will let me have one.
+Pocketful of Primary Michelle , Back when I was an autistic student in elementary school there were no such things as calm down caddies or fidget toys and I fidgeted sometimes when I got stressed and off task and it led to My Main Teachers taking me outside of the classroom and hitting me 3 times with their paddle with the paras watching and it only aggravated my negativity and stresses in school and My biggest stresses in school was having to adjust to doing things in a way that I was not accustomed to or that went against my thought process . I said that to say this that if a student has to fidget to destress they will fidget with or without the fidget toys . When you allow your student to use fidget toys to destress you are helping the student to destress without spreading the stress and making things worse and when a student is stressed the teacher has to take the back seat to help the student destress and bring the student around to you . Keep working with your students and your students will work with you . Yes , it may take them some time to come around and work with you but everything works out for the better in the end . With that said , I hope that the school year is going well for you and I hope that this gives you a little insight and boost for your school days . Hang in there beautiful . - Dwight
I am most excited about the Q ball! I teach students with multiple disabilities, and this would be an incredible tool to increase engagement and motivation to participate! LOVE IT!
obsessed with the Q ball! I have the wireless presenter and its literally AMAZING, best invention! My students love it for their presentations as well!
I love the ball idea. The students being able to hear their voices respond would not only feel cool for them it would give them opportunity to hear themselves speak and their students would be able to hear them. The engagement I can see from using this is tremendous! Thank you for sharing the wonderful tools in your classroom.
I am EXTREMELY excited about the Q Ball. I have been contemplating it, weighing my options... you know the whole pros and cons thing. I would absolutely love to receive one of these to increase engagement in my classroom with my future students. Thank you so much, Michelle, for posting videos on youtube. You have been a blessing for my anxiety and have given me a role model to inspire to be like in my teaching career. :) P.S. Congrats on the engagement! Can't wait to see that all unfold online too!
My favorite would be the Q Ball!! I love that students will be able to not only hear others talking but themselves talking!! My first graders would love it!
I am most excited about the fidget items! The infinity cube looks so calming and it’s quiet! I’m in my 2nd year of university right now on my way to becoming an educator (2 more years) and I love watching your videos for ideas and tips! Your content is SO helpful!! I will definitely be purchasing some fidget items for my classroom. Also, the Qball sounds so great too! I can see how useful that would be in a busy classroom! I would love to have one for my classroom at some point 🙈
I’m only in 6th grade but I already have my mind set on being a teacher when I grow up😂also I love your videos I always watch them and you make me so happy!!
I’ve been teaching for a while now but enjoy watching your show for new ideas. I always walk away with something new to try in my class. Thank you for sharing. 😊✏️
I’m most excited for that q ball! What a brilliant idea. I am just picturing all the possibilities if I had this in my classroom. My students are going to love it!
I loved all of your items in this video but my favorite has to be the Q Ball. I teach 5th grade math and we play many different versions of the game "I have...who has." We often have trouble hearing the person who's turn it is to share. We can toss the ball to the person who has what is being asked for and we can actually hear them! I'm sure there are tons of ways to use this ball and I hope I get to try them.
So excited about the fidgets and the Q ball! I'm starting my Teachers Assistant Training this September (UK) and I stumbled upon you whilst looking for videos about teaching. You are amazing!! I have a friend who is doing her 1 year teacher training right now and I keep getting her little things that I've seen in your videos, binder clips, stickies, storage boxes.... She loves your Ketchup and Pickles!! It's a new thing over here! Keep going, I love hearing how things work and don't work and work out! Xx
You always have such great finds! I am most excited about the QBall! I liked them on FB and I am looking forward to seeing how you are using it in your classroom!
I'm intrigued by the megaphone. We used to give the kids brain breaks outside. We were allowed only 10 minutes and it quickly turned into 15-20 because no one heard us calling. We got in trouble and were no longer allowed to take the breaks. That might have helped.
I am currently student teaching in a 6th grade classroom. I always find myself reminding them to speak louder. The Q Ball would be absolutely WONDERFUL for this room and my own future classroom that I will have this fall! :)
I love the eraser! I did a maternity leave for a sixth-grade math teacher, and I was constantly having to erase the board. One of those erasers would have been life changing!! The ball though would be great for a reading class! The students can pass the ball around and everyone would be able to hear them! This could be the best haul yet!!!
I would love receiving the Q Ball because I will be using it in the classroom setting and I can see how productive and engaging it can be for students. Students love being involved and this items does that and much more!
I am so happy you featured Q Ball because it's an item I've been wanting to get, but was waiting to do for next year. So, that one is definitely exciting! But the different fidgets are also exciting, especially for my anxious students.
For at recess at my school they have a bell that they ring so all the kids hear when it goes of you have to stand still and then they ring it again for when you go to line up. It’s super usfull you should invest in one 💓🙂
i was the same until i started taking meds for adhd :) now i just play with fidgets when im watching yt once the meds have worn off and i have a spinning ring that i use in class :D
the bubble dripper thingys cost like 2-4 dollars at daiso ! i bought one for myself and it cost 3.00 so that might be a better investment for you instead of buying 3 for $18
The Qball is really exciting, but I do have to admit that I've been meaning to snatch up one of those large expo erasers. I plan to have one for next school year.
I really want the q-ball, I’m really excited about getting the infinity cube for my kids this year. I really hope to get the q-ball because my students don’t really like to pay attention to others and I really hope to find out my students needs 💕 thank you for giving me a chance
I’m excited to see new options for fidgets! I love the possibilities the Q ball offers too! I’m a first year teacher and I’m gathering items for my classroom. I’m super excited to get all these awesome ideas! Thanks Michelle for always being a source of awesome education tools!
I'm in a kindergarten class and I have many wiggly kids. I've been trying to think of what I could provide to them to help them get their wiggles and fidgets out. I love all of the fidget ideas! I'm gonna have to try them to see if it helps! Thanks!
Thanks for the video! This is one of my favorite videos of 2019 from you :) Even though I'm not a teacher haha, I will keep this video for when I (hopefully) am. And.... favorite quote of the year: "I like having it, I feel powerful!"
I'm exited about the q ball I've never heard of it before and it seems pretty cool! (Edit: Also watching ur vids really makes me want to be a teacher when I grow up. On a vid I watched a couple of days ago there were so many kids wanting to teach when they grow up. Thank you so much for inspiring tons of 10-12 year olds!)
There are so many items on here I am excited about but the Q Ball would make such a difference in my class!! I also am going to have to get the wireless presenter!:) thank you for sharing!!
In my area teachers make $45,000 a year, how is that not enough? I make roughly $28,000 a year in my career and i am able to own a home, nice car, have extra money to spend and i am still able to save a large chunk of money a month.
Jessie Lives Life some teachers make less than that, plus some areas have insanely high rent, theres student loans, raising kids is expensive etc. look at teachers in Oklahoma
Wireless presenters, I had forgotten all about them. As a sub I generally do not make my own slides or presentations however, I have a 3 week job coming up so I will be creating some of my own resources. The price is super reasonable too. I have a login for the largest school district I sub for so I am easily able to use the doc cam in classrooms. I am going to buy one right now. For fidget toys, when available" I buy squishy toys from the dollar tree (not the ones with lights inside) which I can hand out to students who need something tactile to help them focus. I keep a few in my sub bag. Thank you for the cool ideas in this video. 😎
I’m most excited for the Q Ball and the wireless presenter! Seriously, the Q Ball looks like a game changer for morning meeting and student engagement all around!
I am excited for the q-ball!! I do use fidgets in my classroom! I would love to see how you explain it to your students, and learn a little more about how you use them in your classroom. When my students need “a break”, they are allowed to go get a fidget and watch a 2-minute timer. Once that timer is up, they know to put the fidget away.
Love all of your work! Always so consistent! I’ve recently made a video on my channel about puppets in the classroom as I feel it has so many benefits to children. Keep up the good work! 😀
I am most excited about the Q-ball! I recently had to film some lessons, and most of the students’ responses were inaudible. This would be such an amazing addition!
Thank you for sharing this wonderful / amazing video. You inspire me very much. You make wonderful videos to watch. I am a high school special Ed student.
I love everything you've shown. I desperately need the megaphone in my life. My voice can only travel over the kids so much. I also love the Q- Ball. This is something I've seen at math conferences I've been to and it looks amazing!
I'm not even a teacher but I'm still obsessed with these videos.... HElP
Haha same! But I do want to be a teacher so that’s probably why I enjoy these videos

Yay, love the ball. Already have many of the things featured in your video, but I do not have that ball and I need it. I wonder if Amazon will let me have one.
That Q Ball thingy is so cool. I have several ELL students who speak so softly, this would really help them be heard! Thanks for sharing!

The Qball sounds amazing, but I'm also curious on trying the liquid bubble timer on students with testing anxiety.

The flipy chain is a bicycle chain.
Definitely the q ball! Would be a great resource for the students who have difficulty speaking up while sharing out
I am loving the wireless presenter and the cord winder! Definitely things that would make life much easier!
Love the Q ball! I used one at a tech conference once!
I’m a new teacher and I recently discovered your videos. Because of you, I am filled with more excitement and new ideas for my classroom!

Different fidget tools SAVED my life in highschool. Very excited to implement the same things that helped me as a child in my future classroom.
So excited to try a Qball! Excited to possibly add this tool to my writing instruction!
I am most excited about the Q Ball! This is a great way to keep students engaged!

I am super excited for HOPEFULLY the Q-Ball and the wireless presenter! 😱💕
I love that wireless presenter and the Otto Stool! Such great ideas!

My Kinder babies would LOVE the qball when sharing their writing pieces with the class. Their little voices NEED this! ❤️
I love the Q-Ball it is such an amazing product and it is sooo amazing.

They just ring it and then yea, if your in the field u may miss some of lunch,one time I was in a field with 1st graders 😅🤫
I'm most excited about the Q Ball!!! (However, all of these items are excitement-worthy). The wireless presenter is a close second after the Q Ball.
I would love the QBall for my classroom! So engaging.
I have a bubble timer. It has Pink and Purple.
I’m excited about the Q ball it’s very innovative!
I am most excited about the Q Ball! I can see my third graders absolutely loving this in our classroom. Instant engagement!!
I really badly need fights to focus
The first time I brought one to school my teacher broke it and threw it in the trash....
I’m lucky that one of my teachers understand why I bring fidget toys to class since her son has autism 😌
@@prettylix9771 my teacher daughter has autism as well so I think she’s just a b-
@@jessiee768 probably
Fights? I thought you meant actual fist fights to help you focus.
i was the same until i started taking meds for adhd :) now i just play with fidgets when im watching yt once the meds have worn off and i have a spinning ring that i use in class :D
The Q Ball & fidgets are such great tools that would work in my preschool classroom! 🤗
I’m the most excited about the Q-Ball!
the bubble dripper thingys cost like 2-4 dollars at daiso ! i bought one for myself and it cost 3.00 so that might be a better investment for you instead of buying 3 for $18

Super excited to test out the Otto Stool. I have the wobble cushions and no way to store them. These look perfect! The Q-Ball is very intriguing too!
The snake puzzles are back?!

So many goodies! My favorite is the plastic spinner. I bet I would use it/then 4 out of 5 days! Thanks Michelle
Do you have a Daiso in your area? You can usually find those bubble timers labeled as 'oil clocks' there for $1.50 there! :)
I can be honest the fidget toys I wish I had some in school. I have ADD and I think it would off helped me
I'm in a kindergarten class and I have many wiggly kids. I've been trying to think of what I could provide to them to help them get their wiggles and fidgets out. I love all of the fidget ideas! I'm gonna have to try them to see if it helps! Thanks!

How do teachers live and survive on their career salary?
simiewish having partners who make a ton of $, not having kids, and working a second job
Macky Schmit yeah I can’t do that lol thanks !!
In my area teachers make $45,000 a year, how is that not enough?
I make roughly $28,000 a year in my career and i am able to own a home, nice car, have extra money to spend and i am still able to save a large chunk of money a month.
Jessie Lives Life the only issue I’m overthinking is student loan ;(
Jessie Lives Life some teachers make less than that, plus some areas have insanely high rent, theres student loans, raising kids is expensive etc. look at teachers in Oklahoma
