LOVED LOVED this vlog! What is Kafooty that's on the class contract?

[jhan]

from someone studying psychology - the students having individual personal items also allows them to actually OWN something that is THEIRS...an experience they may not have at home. awesome job!

[ItsJordaan]

Never really stopped and thought about everything teachers do for their students. Mad respect for all the teachers out there striving to make a positive difference in a kid's life.

[glenissilly]

I really want to be a teacher when I’m older and you are such an inspiration to me. I also really love your style and outfits!

[hannahs]

I think this confirmed that I should be a teacher I literally can’t stop watching your videos and imaging being a teacher.

[rudiannwildgoose-laing]

Thank you for your words of encouragement. I will be a novice teacher hopefully in the fall of this year. You must always remember that your contributions as a teacher is uniquely you and beneficial to the students as long as you have passion and care for your students; you will do everything and find every resource that you think can best aide in their learning and understanding. Stressing change nothing for the better, simply do your best. Divine confirmation.🙌🏽

This looks beautiful! Maybe in the safe seat corner you could also get some other things which might help a student slow down and calm down. A bottle filled with colored oil and water which you can shake and then watch settle. One of those handheld pinwheels that blowing on spins (forces deep breath). Maybe some Aaron’s thinking putty and a weighted stuffed animal. All could help regulate the nervous system:)

I really love the day in the life videos and how you be organized. It really encourages me to be a teacher when I grow up.☺😀

Last year we had to have individual students bins and when you have 40 preschoolers that took up to much space, so I am excited that this year we can have community supplies. Enjoy the rest of your weekend ❤️

[rolo]

What a difference a year makes! You have so many great insights and have learned a lot from your first year! Have a great year!

[ellieanneauthor]

I just found your channel and love it!! I’m a high schooler rn but I really wanna become an elementary teacher when I’m older- specifically kindergarten-3rd grade ish❤️ you’re such an amazing teacher and put in so much work for your students

[candycotton]

As someone hoping to be a teacher this is really inspiring, thank you for sharing these videos!

In my 2nd grade classroom my class was so chatty and then I made a word and the word was NOISE and when they were to loud they lost a letter but if they have all there letters at the end of the week they get a class prize and we did that every week and they would never talk and I do that every year now and it works so good and it is so f

[amarali]

Me in high school laughing because of all the memories this lovely teacher brings back to me. She reminds me so much of my 1st grade teacher. Thank you for your amazing videos ❤️❤️❤️

Just an idea for the name game. (How I play). I am the first and last person in the game; It helps me learn their names and helps students learn turn taking. I also allow one kid to attempt to name the whole circle. (I offer a reward after they complete the circle). If no one offers, then the game is over and we return to our seats to start the next activity.
We played the game in my college advanced accounting class, our professor had us write down an adjective and our first name so mine was "Courageous Catherine". This works really well for older kids but writing the names down helps kids make the name connection and it helps because no one talks except for the person saying the names. If a child gets stuck, the "unknown" student lifts their paper to help move the game.

Great Vlog I gave my students, student numbers every year no one ever forgot their number. I had name cards on their desks that included their student number. There student numbers were but on all their notebooks and workbooks. I had them put their student # one all their papers. I would always say do not forget to put name, number and date on all papers. I assigned one Student to collect papers as a job and put them in number order for me. They they would tell me who didnt had their paper in. If a child was absent would put the work in their numbered mailbox. It made my life much easier. When I checked paper it was so much easier to mark off in grade book. Have a great year!

I look forward to all your videos!! I really admire you💚

[suzyrunninghawk]

I bet your veteran teacher team mates love your enthusiasm, excitement, and non-jadedness (probably not a word!). I'm sure they value and appreciate you!

[cheyennescott]

Madison the gift baggies are such a good idea and definitely not expected! I love this idea! Definitely an amazing teacher!

[subrinaally]

I’m so excited to see your future lessons! These really help a lot!
