You’re a phenomenal teacher and your work is not in vain. So many of those kids are going to remember you for the rest of their lives! You’re job is so important and you’re valued more than you know! 💕
@@kalikavalentine4143 Wow! That's so good to hear, I am doing the exact same thing. Just left teaching and started grad school for school counseling. It's so validating to hear how positive the change was for you!
I have been feeling that same slip of balance between “kind and compassionate” and “get your ish together” with my students this week as well, on top of the major sensory overload I’ve been in as a new mom and fairly new teacher. I took a mental health day from work today and just watched your video as I took a lovely bath with candles. It felt nice to know I’m not the only one feeling like I’m losing balance. You’re doing amazing and those kids obviously love you.
Finishing up my degree and these glimpses into your classroom and teaching style are what I aspire to be. I’m excited to document my journey as well. Also, as a mom of 2 I appreciate that you don’t really show your daughter, there’s ways to share your life without compromising their privacy. ❤️
Love your Sunday videos ❤️ always watch during my lunch break at work as a nail artist. Also attending university (year 3) to teach k-6. You're peaceful videos are always exactly what I need 💗
I loved this video! I’m an elementary teacher and expecting my first baby in March. This totally helps me to visualize what my life this time next year will look like. I appreciate you sharing, I’d love more videos like this!
I am glad to hear that I am not the only teacher who is struggling with being kind and wanting them to do what is excepted of them. We have been in school almost a month and there are times during the day when they act like it is day two. I enjoyed the video this week.
Love seeing your content and how you go about your day as a mom & teacher! I’m a mom to an 11 month old and find it so helpful hearing from other teacher moms!
I know this video is old but for any teachers who come across it: I'm a parent of an 8yo who is just starting to mature out of the "little kid" stage. I've also worked in classrooms and routinely volunteer in my daughter's Girl Scout troop. I can vouch for the fact that first graders are just at a really tricky stage. They seem to be so big and mature one minute, and act like preschoolers the next. Those brains are growing like crazy, and of course with a whole class of them the maturity levels are all over the place. You're exactly right about how hard it is to balance compassion with high expectations. But the fact that you're aware of the need for balance means you're doing a great job! And I say this as a "gentle parent" - you don't sound overly strict at all. Remember enforcing the rules helps keep everyone safe and helps kids be clear on what to expect. As long as your expectations are developmentally appropriate, and allow for kids to have bad days, I think you can have high expectations and still be compassionate.
This is weird - I love that you protected baby’s face in this video!! This is your first I watched and I’m subscribing for that! So excited to watch a morning/night routine!
Lol! The spaghetti part was hilarious! So I snap my noodles in half, however, if you watch any Italian cook’s, videos they say that breaking the noodle is blasphemy. Apparently, the true Italian way is to cook the entire noodle without breaking them. So I guess in a way you’re both right? 😂
Do you have such an aesthetic vibe I love it Keep on doing what you're doing cause I love it and I'm gonna keep watching you and your family grow and this is such Amazing day in the life I love but you're doing and you're kids that you teach and your own kids are super duper cute Even though you don't show the kids you teach or still tell by their voices that they are so amazing kids
You are so inspiring! I’m currently getting my bachelor’s in elementary education and I have 3 and 5 yr old boys. I love your perspective of juggling motherhood and teaching. You’re doing an amazing job!
When did Jordan start crawling? I missed it. When she was crawling I was surprised. She seems so content. Some babies don't just chill in the bed that way so you're a lucky mama. The first couple of months of a new class is exhausting. The kids are still learning (and testing 🙄) the expectations. It's funny how much as a teacher we forget how the beginning is each year and it's often hard to stay patient because you feel they KNOW this and yet they don't.
Ok. I’m also a first grade teacher. But I’m new. Can I ask where did you get your cute community workers unit? I’m constantly looking for fun social studies ideas that last more than one day.
I love your Sunday vlogs! I imagine this school year is so much easier for you since you wore a mask last year. Im curious to know what projector is that you are using for projecting the papers?
Oh girl, I know exactly what you're talking about. I was literally so frustrated today that I told my students that "We will learn to be respectful and quiet come ..." (and I almost said "Hell or high water" but I caught myself and put myself in teacher timeout lol
Sauce on top so each can decide quantity. Don't snap the pasta, my hubby hates that. He likes to twirl the noodles on his fork. I like to cut the noodles with my fork. Unconventional, you bet!
I’m in third grade as a first year teacher and I’m feeling the exact same way with classroom management. I told myself i wouldn’t be super stern the first week of school, but some thing I just can’t let go. For example we practiced and modeled flexible seating the first day of school. Second day a student chucked a bouncy chair across the room 😑 glad I’m not the only one 😂😂
I teach third grade too. We are really really struggling with quick and quiet transitions! This is the first class I’ve had probably in the last five years that has had to practice this for so long!
Thank you for sharing. You have a lot of energy. It takes a lot of work to do this job. I come in love (ANY BUA BHaB). Pork and ham are not allowed as food, according to the Creator. Love your spouse, as he is a blessing from the Creator. No one wins when you are seeing who wins. Professional cooks often say, do not break the speghetti, but do what seems right to you. // SHLM & HaB (peace & love). The Name of the Creator is Hayah asher Hayah, as what He told Moshah (Exodus 3:14), preserved in the Hebrew Scriptures. There is a curse to the G-o-d name (Isaiah 65:11-12), preserved in the Hebrew Scriptures. All followers of the Messiah are to do the 7 appointed times (Leviticus 23), but no more animal sacrifices, following the Crucifixion of the Messiah. We are now of the order of MLK TSDQ (King, righteous), to Whom ABRaHM tithed. Ask the Messiah to be your personal Savior. He said to him, I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me (John 14:6). All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of Hayah (Romans 3:23). The wages for sin is death but the gift of ALaHYM is Everlasting Life through Messiah Yahushgh our Master (Romans 6:23). That if you confess with your mouth the Master Yahushgh and believe in your heart that ALaHYM raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved (Romans 10:9).

Have you ever considered becoming a school counselor one day? You have such an openness and gentleness about you.
I went from teaching to being a school counselor and it was the best career move I’ve ever made.

Ah thank you! That was actually my plan when I first switched my major to elementary education💛 We’ll see!

The scenery is beautiful where u live!!😍
I enjoy watching morning coffee routines
When you said "August slipped away", after that we literally said "Like a bottle of wine" at the same time 😅😅
🤪🫶
sauce on top of pasta always, and i always break the uncooked pasta in half before boiling. i only mix pasta with sauce for alfredo.
Do you have such an aesthetic vibe I love it Keep on doing what you're doing cause I love it and I'm gonna keep watching you and your family grow and this is such Amazing day in the life I love but you're doing and you're kids that you teach and your own kids are super duper cute Even though you don't show the kids you teach or still tell by their voices that they are so amazing kids
Love your channel, I buy half- size spaghetti noodles I love not having a break them.
Love this!!!
This is your reminder that you are doing a great job, Mama! ❤
What a beautiful and relaxing video!💛 Definitely break the noodles up 😅
I usually mix in the sauce. For breaking up the pasta, it depends on what size of pot I'm using.
I really like the day in my life vlogs.
I love these videos! I’m so excited to watch it! I love your channel too!
Hi Emma I’m subscribed to you channel always

Such a calming video. Thank you 💕
Love this video! 💜I love using Fetch as well!
Sauce mix in for sure and your husband is right noddles must be longgg
"let me know who's right - it's me" I laughed way too hard 🤣
oh also, I break them up, too!
I like your video, verry hopefully♥️. I'm a teacher in kindergarten also :)
Love love love this video! Makes me have baby fever and I already have a 1 and half year old lol 😭
I always snap the noodles and put sauce on top hahaha. What kind of high chair do you have? Do you like it and is it easy to clean?
How long can you leave the class unsupervised if you need to step out of the room?
How do you always find the most amazing music???
yess i cant wait to watch!!!
We don’t break our spaghetti noodles before we put them in the water. However we do cut up our spaghetti before we eat it 😂.
What brand is your curling wand? I have been using an old wand of mine after seeing how cute your curls come out, but I could stand for a new one!
we mixed it and we use egg noddles not spaghetti noodles but if we have to use noodles i snap them i think my husband does both
Ok. I’m also a first grade teacher. But I’m new. Can I ask where did you get your cute community workers unit? I’m constantly looking for fun social studies ideas that last more than one day.

you look amazing after having your baby.
What is the name of the song playing when the video begins? It feels like it describes where I live!
sauce on top! LOL!!! that's the only way :)
Loved this video :)
I love your content 🥰

Snap/sauce on top 🍝
sauce on top, snap the pasta!
Sauce always goes on top, and I don't like spaghetti noodles, but when i make them for someone else I always break them in half
love it🥰
What behavior system do you use in your classroom?
I love fetch rewards!!!
Sauce on top and break the noodles
I mix in the sauce and do not snap the noodles.
I always add sauce into my pasta and break my spaghetti noodles in half.
You may want to look at/research TBRI, it has helped me a lot with kids and their behavior!
15:00-15:11 LOL
I work with kids and they fun to be around with but there also crazy
My mom uses dime too
❤️❤️❤️
I’m early!

I love your video❤
But I have to tell you, your husband is right. Don't torture the Italians 😅
Next make some comedy video miss emma grace bursting to pee
Nah, no snapping allowed. I’m also pretty sure real Italians would say the same!
