As I explained in the video, I am going to be cutting back on my classroom vlogs and limiting myself to 1-2 weekly vlogs a month. When I first created this channel, I never intended to be a “vlogger”. I wanted to share all my ideas and genuinely help other teachers. While I have come to love vlogging, it was never my vision for my channel. I know so many of you love watching vlogs for the entertainment but I truly see myself as so much more than just a “vlogger”. I want to provide as much CONTENT as I can to help other teachers and I don’t feel like my vlogs achieve that. Additionally, I feel like a lot of the information I share within my vlogs is repetitive… especially since I filmed my entire school year last year and teach many of the same lessons. Instead of vlogging every week out of habit, I would prefer to just vlog every few weeks when I have something exciting, interesting, or new to share to keep things fresh. By cutting down the number of vlogs I am filming, I am able to produce higher-quality videos focused on a particular subject and therefore provide more value for actual teachers. This month, I have felt SO much happier with the shift in my channel (despite negative comments begging for more vlogs). Overall, I have to put myself and my mental health first, especially since I am balancing so many things. I am a happier teacher and TH-camr when I am not vlogging every day of every school week and therefore I will continue the mix of videos on my channel. I appreciate your support of me, my happiness, and the direction of my channel. Oh, and put your positive pants on 😉
I too totally understand why you have decided to cut back on vlogging. There are only so many hours in a day and filming yourself doing and talking about the same thing again and again don't add to your day nor does it meet your original purpose of vlogging. Your weekly vlogs will be missed but you need to take care of yourself first. Take care and best wishes as you juggle all of your life balls. May you keep them moving and may your reflexes be speedy when picking up the occasional dropped ball.
I’m so happy you’re going to be doing more specific videos again instead of general vlogs!! I just got into digital planning last week and loved your video on that, thank you for all you do!
I fully support doing what makes you happy! You owe us nothing! Your life and happiness mean more than TH-cam videos. I love the idea of vlogs only being twice a month. That’s awesome! Gives me something to look forward to. And it doesn’t seem so repetitive. You do you girl!!
Do what makes your soul happy or you will burn out. Your well being is so much more important than any post you share. Like they say on the airplanes, you have to put on your own oxygen mask before you can help anyone else with theirs.
I love everything you post - either classroom vlogs or content. I have been teaching 3rd and 4th for 15 years and was losing the passion. Watching your videos and Instagram posts have completely rekindled my passion for teaching again. Thank you!
Thank you, Ms. Ferret for your dedication to teaching!! I always love watching your videos, and learnt a lot from you!! As an ESL teacher myself, I got plentiful of ideas from you about anything, be it the classroom organization, the teaching methods, and especially the spirit, dedication and motivation!! You're such an amazing teacher and I believe you can also be a role model for many others. Keep up the spirit and hope the change bring more improvement for you!!👍👍
Hi Michelle! I LOVE that you are putting content first before the vlogging. Honestly, I stopped watching your vlogs sometime last October because it just feels all the same. But when I saw that you put up your Time Saving Tips video, I was interested again as this is new and extremely useful in my classroom. I LOVE your channel and I have been following you since the beginning and you inspired me to become a youtuber myself and a better teacher. Kudos Michelle, have an awesome new year!
As someone who is not a teacher I love this channel! It has made me understand how much teachers do! I don't know why but I just never realized. Thank you!
I'm glad that you are trying to stay true to the vision you had/have for your channel. You have provided so many wonderful teaching and organizational tips. The bottom line is, you should take of yourself and do what you feel is best for you, your personal life, your career, and your channel. Your subscribers aren't going anywhere!💗💖💗
I love love love these vlogs! I’m a junior in high school and I’m currently taking a early childhood education class where we visit daycares, elementary schools, and middle schools. We learn to make lesson plans and study different theories. It’s such a fun and amazing class and I took it because I really want to be a elementary school teacher! I can’t wait to go to college and these vlogs really inspire me and make me sooooo excited!!!
Also! I’m struggling with lesson plans, does your school provide a template and/or have you turn in lesson plans? How much detail do you go into? I’m actually having a lot of fun planning lessons even if I have no kids to teach, mainly because browning Pinterest and TPT is so fun!!
Oh my gosh!! We have that at our school, but I think that it's only for daycares. I am so stinking excited to take that class!!! TpT is so fun! I totally agree!
Brena Gauland We went twice a week and I had so much fun with the little kids! I learned so much about different teaching styles at the various levels of schooling, you should really do it if you can! It’s a great experience!
I'm sorry that I mentioned missing the vlogs last weekend. I didn't realize you were going a different direction with your channel. I can't imagine doing all you do AND making daily vlogs! Thank you for all your information you give us! :-)
I enjoy your channel and all of your videos teach me something (and I have been teaching for 20 years). I often go back and re-watch your older videos when I need ideas and inspiration. As a student told me a few weeks ago " Be you. Do you!" Whatever you do, it's all good to me!
Thank you for being so open and honest about your shift away from being a vlogging channel. Im glad you are doing whats best for you. A lot of us just subscribed particularly for the classroom vlogs, but I am sure you will get more and more people coming for your content. Keep being you ❤️
Love the video. Science is a fun class to teach, and the way you teach it makes sense. In math, the digital escape room shows how far technology has come over the years. I will definitely tell all my teacher friends about it!! Lastly, this piece of advice was given to me by one of my favorite teachers whom I had for two years. She told me “never change who I am for others”. It has kept me true to who I am. I love the content you provide teachers and non-teachers alike. Do what you do, and let no one tell you differently!!
Omg I’m so happy! I just woke up, and there’s nothing better than waking up and first thing watching these videos!! I absolutely love your personality!!❤️❤️😃👍
I think you are so right Michelle! I’m not going to lie I felt the same about you’re vlogs.... sorry! I’m loving your new videos from over the last month and this weeks vlog was so good because you were doing something interesting and fun stuff was going on, keep it up!
I have been so grateful for your content videos lately, they are so helpful. I teach math/science in third grade, and have used many of your ideas. I also love your vlogs. Either way, all your videos are helpful. I am so glad you are doing what makes you happy, that is what life is about!! Love ya Michelle!!!!
I love the new format! First and foremost, you have to take care of yourself and your mental health. ♥️ When your kiddos are so involved in a lesson that they want to finish it over the weekend-that’s an awesome lesson! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I’m a junior in high school and I take teaching classes and going to college for elementary teaching, your videos make me want to teach so much and helped me realize my dream even more!
Michelle, I am one of the fans that is not a teacher, but that is not the only thing you have taught us. You have taught us that if something is worthwhile, but on your happy pants and work for it, keep going, run the marathon, give affirmation to others and smell the roses. You have also showed up that relationships count and loving your work is important. There is so much more, I can not imagine you not doing what is best for you, and your relationship. Will be a fan even if you decided never to put up a video again. I have directed so many of your suggestions to other elementary teachers because you inspire people to do their utmost. Do what is best... you go girl.! I to ALWAYS have happy pants on. Many blessings as you move forward in you life.
Love the ideas, persistence, energy, and how much you give to everyone! You rock Michelle. Positive pants on. I've been sharing your channel a lot, glad to see you growing!
Thanks Michelle. Loved your outfit. I’m going to investigate the digital escape room activities. I’m just thankful for what ever you post because it motivates me to have a good week with my class. So with my big girl bloomers on Smiles from down under.👍🏻😄😄
I love all your videos! I decided to make a career change at 44 (eek!) I am finishing my teaching degree, special ed and elementary ed. You inspire me so much! Thanks! I love the new changes you have made! :)
I enjoy your vlogs, but I also understand how doing it constantly can be tiring, especially having done it last year and as you said, teaching the same lessons... I had heard of escape rooms but in your video was the first time I'd heard of digital versions. I would think as someone new to escape rooms for the classroom in general, digital may be a good place to start as there isn't as much prep. I also love how your science experiment with the sucker and mint wasn't too involved, definitely something that can be done in any type of classroom, not just those that are dedicated science room. That gives me hope that even those who are self-contained and teach all subjects could still do science experiments with their students, as it doesn't have to be long, drawn out ones like you would typically expect in a middle school or higher science-only class with the lab and all. Also, good tip on keeping parent handouts from back-to-school/meet-the-teacher nights to give to new students as those parents would want that same information too. Cute 50s outfit! Love the shoes! Nice touch with the scarf.
Hello, I understand your need of switch your a very busy teacher while also trying to make TH-cam videos! I appreciate all your work put into this to help us! Even though I’m still young my dream is to be a teacher that’s why I watch your videos! I find them helpful educational and entertaining! when I graduate college to become a teacher I will still watch your videos you have so many fun things you do with your students you engage them and make them love to learn! Your a great teacher and I love your videos!! ~Sophia.C
I understand your reasons for cutting back. I am not sure how you keep up with it all. I have trouble coming up with creative math lessons for my 6th grade students, so I look to your videos for some ideas. You are so positive and creative and I am so glad I found your channel.
As a recent viewer of your vlogs I am disappointed to hear the news. However, I understand your predicament and can totally support your decision. Part of being a great teacher is being able to take care of yourself. Positive pants on! Check!
Hi Michelle! I've been a K1-2 teacher in Indonesia for 14 years now, and this July I will move to a new school and teach 2nd grade. Kinda nervous about it, but watching your videos has motivated me a lot! You are so inspiring, Michelle!
+Pocketful of Primary Well Michelle , I personally appreciate the vlogs . Needless to say that a number of the things you do was never a thing back when I was an autistic student in elementary school and I enjoy how you try to add fun into education and making a time that I once dreaded into something a little more enjoyable in some ways . And yes as much as I get entertained I also get a little educated as well and insight from a teacher's point of view and I hope that my comments give you some insight in return from my days when I was a student . And yes I enjoy watching you looking so good in your teacher outfits and smiling because it brings me something more positive and interesting to look forward to in my days . Keep up with the teacher tips too and the organizational tips too because they have been a lifesaver for me as in organizing at home . I hope that the school year is going well for you and I hope that Billy and Your kittens are doing well . Peace , Love , and Celebration ! - Dwight
Totally support your decision. Quality over quantity. You juggle so many things. I would prefer you happy and healthy! Teachers don't get all the credit they deserve!! ❤❤❤
Hi Michelle, I completely understand why you felt the need to cut back and make the videos more enjoyable for yourself and for others. I want you to know I fully support your channel and I love the ideas you come up with. I am a teacher myself teaching third grade at a charter school. I quite frankly don’t know how you have time to do everything so I give you so much credit for that. Hope you’re enjoying your week at school.
I'm glad you're doing what you're comfortable with on your channel. Like you've said, you were set on creating a channel to help teachers. Then you became more of a vlogger but I'm glad you're filling your goals of helping teachers by changing it up a bit. 😀😀
I am a student teacher, and I literally just tried to teach my second graders about weathering and erosion. This video would have helped me so much!! I will have to remember these ideas for the future 🙂
For the "weathering breaks it, erosion moves it, deposition drops it," there is a video on that. I remember watching it in 6th grade, our teacher had us dancing and singing along, and it really stuck in my head. Even though it's been 3 years since 6th grade, I still sing it occasionally, just for fun!! Here's a link: th-cam.com/video/Gv8ZBOI73qA/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/jFU6jh3R1vg/w-d-xo.html
Something that we love about my maths teacher is he uses this system called “5L’s” if he says 5l you have to: look, listen, hands in lap etc. You have this list with your students names on and if they are the first to do it or they do it for the longest they get 1 5l point. The person that has the most points at the end of the week wins something from the 5l box-eg. Cute rubber or small toy. You also get a scented sticker which you can get of Amazon. P.S good luck with your class you seem like a great teacher xxx
I actually watch your channel MORE now because I’m a teacher looking for your tips & teaching related content- not vlogs. I really enjoy your content even more now!
Hi!! Im like in 6th grade and I’m in love with your videos i love watching them while i do homework, or really anytime like your life as a teacher is important and inspiring to me because now i wanna be a teacher too!! Love you new fan ❤️😁
We have the same classes! I love these videos, it’s pretty interesting to see a teachers “life”, while I sorta am a teacher, but I help tutor classmates that struggle. I want to be a teacher when I finish school, so this is interesting to see how your “life” is.
💕whatever you have time for- I barely have time for basic teacher stuff let alone vlogs. I am sitting here on my birthday writing an IEP🎂 love anything you share💕
Hey it’s Jamari, I’ve been waiting sooo long to watch one of your vlogs.. lately I’ve been down but you’re here so now I’m better.. you really make a big impact on me.. I Greatly appreciate you😊
I'm not a teacher so I definitely do miss the weekly vlogs as I have no reason to watch your other videos. However, I'm glad you're happier this way! I will continue to stay subscribed for the occasional vlog💕
I am sorry if we been making you feel like you have to worry about make videos for us and not leaving lift I won’t but one thing go and live life you only get one shot to live it From a fellow fan
Just looking at your classroom I see what a rich investment you have made for the learning environment. The rug area is amazing. Class act here! It's your tips that bring me back, and will still come back for those whenever you can get the vids out. NP! The caffeine music! LOL. Escape room was brilliant.
Re watching old videos cuz why Not 😂 I have taken psychology as one of my main subjects for my last two years of high school and we spent sooo much time studying and discussing the marshmallow study and various versions of it so this was fun 😂

Pocketful of Primary did u know that season 3 of stranger things is coming out on the Fourth of July pls shout me out
I am a teacher and honestly do not know how you have time to teach, film, edit, and go to the gym! Take the time you need for yourself!💕
I too totally understand why you have decided to cut back on vlogging.

Change is good! Personally I love the changes I’m seeing but I will watch whatever content you put out because you’re very inspiring to me.
I’m so happy you’re going to be doing more specific videos again instead of general vlogs!! I just got into digital planning last week and loved your video on that, thank you for all you do!
As soon as I wake up there is a Pocketful of Primary notification. What a great way to start the day.

Hi
I love you so much
FROM:CHEYANN
TO:MSHELLE
I’m a grade 1 and 2 (combined) teacher in Canada and you motivate and inspire me to be the best teacher I can be. Thank you Michelle! 🍎❤️
THANK YOU FOR SHARING LESSONS!!! I am a college student beginning lesson plans and this helped me think through the process.
I fully support doing what makes you happy! You owe us nothing! Your life and happiness mean more than TH-cam videos. I love the idea of vlogs only being twice a month. That’s awesome! Gives me something to look forward to. And it doesn’t seem so repetitive. You do you girl!!
You are just the cutest!!! Your students are so blessed to have you!
Do what makes your soul happy or you will burn out. Your well being is so much more important than any post you share. Like they say on the airplanes, you have to put on your own oxygen mask before you can help anyone else with theirs.
Yay a vlog! Oh how I've missed these but I am really loving your new content it is fantastic!

Your erosion, weathering, and deposition technique is awesome! I wish I had learned it that way in school!
Oh, that satisfying sound of the front door opening . . . Thanks for putting that in. Love your content old and new!
I just tried out a digital escape room in my classroom yesterday and the kids loved it! Thanks for the idea!!
Love the ideas, persistence, energy, and how much you give to everyone! You rock Michelle. Positive pants on. I've been sharing your channel a lot, glad to see you growing!
I love the talked-through lessons! They give me such good ideas and inspiration! Thanks, Michelle!

You are so fun and I love how you’re always positive
Totally support your decision. Quality over quantity. You juggle so many things. I would prefer you happy and healthy! Teachers don't get all the credit they deserve!! ❤❤❤

I am a student teacher, and I literally just tried to teach my second graders about weathering and erosion. This video would have helped me so much!! I will have to remember these ideas for the future 🙂
Using the mints would have been a great idea! I had the kids put chalk in vinegar. They really liked that!
For the "weathering breaks it, erosion moves it, deposition drops it," there is a video on that.
I remember watching it in 6th grade, our teacher had us dancing and singing along, and it really stuck in my head. Even though it's been 3 years since 6th grade, I still sing it occasionally, just for fun!!

WE NEED VLOGS, They are the best thing about this channel!
The creativity and thought of your science lesson on erosion and weathering is inspiring!
Something that we love about my maths teacher is he uses this system called “5L’s” if he says 5l you have to: look, listen, hands in lap etc. You have this list with your students names on and if they are the first to do it or they do it for the longest they get 1 5l point. The person that has the most points at the end of the week wins something from the 5l box-eg. Cute rubber or small toy. You also get a scented sticker which you can get of Amazon. P.S good luck with your class you seem like a great teacher xxx
I love your sarcasm 😂 Tbf you do you, as long as your posting videos I will watch 🙂
I'm still on middle school but I wanna be a teacher when I grow up SOOOOO BAD!!!♡♡♡
I actually watch your channel MORE now because I’m a teacher looking for your tips & teaching related content- not vlogs. I really enjoy your content even more now!
We’ll miss seeing you as often; but look forward to anything you can share!! 💙
I love this and we will support you and whatever you do ❤️

I absolutely love your vibes! I'm currently pursuing my teaching degree. Your videos are inspiring and so helpful!
My favorite youtuber!!! I am happy that you love teaching

I love these videos, it’s pretty interesting to see a teachers “life”, while I sorta am a teacher, but I help tutor classmates that struggle.
I want to be a teacher when I finish school, so this is interesting to see how your “life” is.
💕whatever you have time for- I barely have time for basic teacher stuff let alone vlogs. I am sitting here on my birthday writing an IEP🎂 love anything you share💕
Hey it’s Jamari, I’ve been waiting sooo long to watch one of your vlogs.. lately I’ve been down but you’re here so now I’m better.. you really make a big impact on me.. I Greatly appreciate you😊
I'm not a teacher so I definitely do miss the weekly vlogs as I have no reason to watch your other videos. However, I'm glad you're happier this way! I will continue to stay subscribed for the occasional vlog💕
I love your vlogs they are so great, I love seeing what a real day looks like for you. I would LOVE to see a morning routine sometime!!

I love the idea of a parent survey!!
Leave it to Michelle to kill it again with lesson plans! Loved it!
I swear my teacher watches your channel. Your guys’ classrooms are so alike from organization to what kind of fonts she uses on her papers!
Just looking at your classroom I see what a rich investment you have made for the learning environment. The rug area is amazing. Class act here! It's your tips that bring me back, and will still come back for those whenever you can get the vids out. NP! The caffeine music! LOL. Escape room was brilliant.
TOYTASTIC GOLD PLAYREVIEWS I’m LOL-ing at the caffeine music, too!
Amazing teacher vlog. I enjoy watching your vlogs.
Oh my gosh i love you so much and your the best😘♥️ keep on doing what you do your an amazing person!
Such a creative teacher, it’s awesome
I totally subscribed to your channel because I found your teaching videos so helpful and inspiring. Excited to see what’s coming up!!!!
Re watching old videos cuz why Not 😂 I have taken psychology as one of my main subjects for my last two years of high school and we spent sooo much time studying and discussing the marshmallow study and various versions of it so this was fun 😂
I love the editing and effort you put into this video!!!!!
Okay why do you ALWAYS look so freakin adorable
I love the song in the beginning! 💜
When you hit the camera after each day. I died of laughter! 😂😂
I love this! Feel like I just got a recap in the few seconds that u went over your lessons. 🎉👍🎉👍
I can’t believe that you are just finishing up the 2nd quarter. My district’s 2nd quarter ended the day we left for Christmas break.
Love the switch up of the vlogs. I can't wait to see the Google Slides one.
I was struggling to find a science lesson for this week. Michelle, you have been my teaching blessing ♡.
I was in the dark and my Alexa turned my lights on!
