I got teary listening to you talk about your new principal and teachers. I’m so excited for you! Your enthusiasm is contagious and making me excited to start back to school. After 18 years, I have needed some motivation.

[ARONRUSTY]

You could say your bag is a “pocketful of pockets” 🥁🥁🤭

[Holygranola]

A pause a moment as my jaw dropped for the fact that you had never seen When Harry Met Sally. I'm so glad you enjoyed it! It is timeless!!!

[wendlit]

Fantastic video! Your new Principal sounds great and getting along with your principal is 99% less stress. She sounds an emotionally intelligent person, which is fantastic.

Billy’s birthday trip sounds so much fun and you spent lots of time planning it ❤

Loved the teacher bag review. I wear a rucksack . It goes everywhere I go! Sometimes I want a nice, light colourful bag. I’ve never been a ‘handbag’ person ☹️

[eyobanion]

Wow, your productivity is off the charts! You are amazing with all the things you get accomplished. I hope I am like YOU when I grow up.
I am so happy for you and this school year. To see your excitement and joy is refreshing. Thank you for sharing because it really inspires me.

Those bananas would be perfect for “nice” cream or smoothies. Just peel and freeze them. I keep a stash of frozen banana for this reason.😊

Way to go Michelle.
Even when the teacher's hands are tied by the system, the golden rule still remains that students learn from people and things that they like.
Remember that you cannot have school without struggles and in effect certain "behaviors" but if your students love you in the end that alone should be the mark of a successful teacher.

Loved your new book bag! Our principal gave us an alligator 🐊 “edugator” adventures for the summer. To take pics. With, love the whale 🐳 idea too!
Can’t wait for the recap of the LA trip

Please, we need your “40 before 40 list” 😱 I would love to get inspired to accomplish cool life goals 😊

[jessieely]

I’m so excited for you! I miss being in a classroom, but living vicariously through you is so awesome! I hope y’all have (had) fun in LA! I can’t wait to hear about your adventures!

[francesharrigan]

What a blessing to work in and with such people. I’m so happy for you.

[rinawalter]

How blessed to be in a beautiful school. Hope that you had a fabulous LA weekend and Happy Birthday Billy!

[ElizabethMorales-Junco]

I am happy for u! Just hang on to that happiness as long as u can gurl. When u need to too take it out and smile! Please know your excitement is contagious even to an oldie teacher like me!

[juliachapman]

I never comment on videos, but i just felt i had to! From elementary school to high school i have watched your videos, and I have always loved your classroom set up sessions! Throughout the years i go through my elementary school’s staff list to see if my old teachers are there and i saw your photo! This was so surreal for me as i have watched your videos for years! I am literally fan girling!!! Excited to both be longhorns!

[amandawilkins]

Happiest of Wednesdays to you, Michelle! I enjoyed this update on all the events you've got going on right now. I enjoyed how you touched on ways to keep track of information you have learned from books you've read. I loved listening to the Teaching to the TOP podcast where you and Bridget gave many specifics about that topic. I hope that Billy's 30th birthday celebration was amazing! It looks like you really put a lot of time and effort into it, so I'm sure it was a great surprise for him along the way as he opened the envelopes. I hope you have an amazing, productive week! 💜

[Erin_C]

I’m so happy you love your new school and principal. Best wishes for a great school year!

You can also use ripe bananas as an egg or oil substitute. I use bananas if I’m out of these ingredients.

[jessicagensel]

Thank you for sharing this journey! I’m currently an online teacher who has kind of lost the love of education, but watching your vlogs have helped regain that. I’m even considering going back to in person teaching next school year! I’m so grateful that you are bringing us along on your journey.

[michellestephens]

I'm SO trying the dill pickle Goldfish....also, I love your student spotlight ideas! Im so glad you're back in the classroom. I've learned a lot from you over the years. Every time I listen to you, I'm inspired to live life better. Thank you for all the hard work you put in to your videos. It's greatly appreciated 🎉❤😊

I am loving the vlogs! Also, your pantry is so organized, and I love it!
