    Ms. Brittany, It is so nice to see a video from you. You are a wonderful teacher and I am sure you already know that. I always had a vivid imagination and open view of the world likely because I wrote stories and poems. When I was too young to express my thoughts on the page, I would be inventing stories in my mind. As students move from middle school to high school, they still have the wings of imagination constantly in their minds, but I just feel that certain classes or academic pressure to succeed can almost be a distraction to their self awareness and wonder. Imagination is definitely something I have preserved within me because I need it for writing and thinking. This is why I have felt that the traditional school environment was never right for me and I should have been homeschooled, but I have persevered on. I wish I had a separate class with a focus on writing. I have had English class, but that was never enough. I wanted more opportunity than merely such a class. I love you

    OMG I LOVE HOW you brought STEM into the class. I teach at a STEM school and working across subjects is so amazing. I tell my students all the time you do not have to be an english or a science person, they are all connected. The length you go to engage you students is AMAZING. I love that it is focused on making an impact and self love wow ;-; AHH I am going to use the idea about dressing up the sentences. SO CUTE. You are such an inspiration to me both in teaching and in vlogging. Sending you all the love, please be safe! :)

    Hi Mrs Brittany, it's good to see you uploading videos again and hope everything is well for you so far.
    You were definitely in your element in the lab coat and goggles because you could be a scientist.
    I have some news to share with you.
    I received my Human Resources Management certificate last month from my community college in the mail.
    I have also been volunteering at the senior center.
    I think you should continue making those types of videos for sure.
    The type of video I would like to see next is self-care tips or outfit haul.

    How closely do you have to plan with your grade level teams? Are you teaching the same concepts but changing the lessons based off what the individual teacher wants to do? I’m just curious because I am a Kindergarten teacher and we plan really closely and do almost everything exactly the same.
    I’m sure it is very different for a middle school teacher because you teach different classes and grades.
