Prepping for a Field Trip | That Teacher Life Ep 59 

I also take Ziplocs with a few Paper towels in them as barf bags and gloves (barf, bloody noses, other bodily fluids, etc...) in my bag as well.

why am watching this im not even a teacher or a parent to a 2nd grader or a 2nd grader

Ok story time... I lead like 15 pre-K children and the club there goes from 6-8 and let me tell you I HAVE LIKE 25 BAGS OF GUMMIES IN MY BAG like for real I have had to stop a hunger infused meltdown like 20 times. 1 like= 1 pack of gummies for me!😋

Who else is a student of either middle or elementary school??... lol Edit: thx for the 2 likes! lol

I have taught for 18 years, and you inspire and motivate me. I am learning so much from you. I am so glad that I found your channel. Keep up the great work!

I am 14 and doing a career unit in school, I have wanted to become a teacher my whole life but since our career unit, I have questioned it. As I watch your vlogs and teacher videos I know for sure that this is what I want to do and do not question it anymore so thank you!!

Teachers do so much. They have to be a baby-sitter (to some extent), a decorator (their classroom), an event planner (when their students do well and throwing parties). They deserve a raise! I've had/have 4 people in my family who are/were teachers. Kudos to them!

Hello to all the random teachers... Just a student here who has nothing better to do 😂

FYI - I also get the cell phone numbers of my chaperones just in case I need to get in contact with them. I've had issues with chaperone not coming to the bus for departure on time and having their cell phones was really helpful to hurry them along 😊!

I want to be a teacher and I'm going to college right now and I'm obsessed with your videos!!

can you be my teacher omg you are way more organised THAN any of my TEACHERS! I ve had in the past

I loved this video! I tend to over-plan for field trips too because I want to be prepared for absolutely everything. It's nice to see I'm not the only one. And your absolutely right, parents will respect and trust you so much more when they see the effort you've put into it. Hope you're having a nice, relaxing, catching-on-sleep weekend!!

Recently I've been going through a career crisis. I go to culinary school in New York and I'm currently doing an internship at Google Headquarters in California to cook for the company. This may seem like a dream to some, but honestly I'm not truly happy. I've been looking into Early Childhood Education and your videos have really helped me get an inside look of what my future could be. I plan on going back home for school next fall and pursuing my career as a teacher, so thank you for helping me make my decision!

My dad says that if I fail to prepare I prepare to fail

I'm not a real teacher, just a swimming teacher, but I still enjoy your videos. It motivates me to plan and prepare for my lessons and invest in each of my students.

I've been to port discovery!!!!! It's so fun! Great place to take 1st to 4th graders.

Hello everyone, good morning! This is the first time I published a comment in any video of this youtuber-teacher. I have seen others more extensive. She has a great speech and good voice to argue her topics. I'm learning English on my own, for the last six years. Congratulations for her great work

I have just finished my senior student teaching experience, and I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your videos! I find your videos so helpful! I think it is so fantastic that you do so much for your students, and I hope that I can be half as amazing as you are as I go into my career!

Perfect timing! I am taking my first grade class to the zoo tomorrow. I immediately downloaded your field trip pack on TPT and got to work!

I saw my name and was like what that's awesome. 😱😌

Hello from Australia :). Your channel is giving me so many wonderful ideas for when I graduate this year with a Bachelor of Eduction.

When she said the page was “editable” I thought she said “edible” and laughed for a solid three minutes then I realize what she said😂

Pocket of primary I am a student but I do a summer school sort of camp and you inspire me to keep going even when the kids are not behaving. I love to teach and I just want to go to college to be a teacher, you are an amazing teacher and there is probably so many kids that love you. Way to go!!

Can you be my teacher 💕💕

Thanks Michelle for all of your Classroom Tours and That sounds like fun Going on a school field trip

I love this video! I always felt I over prepared for a Field trip. Thank you for validating for me that I am not crazy just prepared!!! I always layer the plastic bags with several napkins because I want to be able to contain the sickness in the bag. I learned that little trick the hard way!! Keep up the great videos - you inspire me!

my kiddos and I are going on a field trip this week and as I'm coming close to the end of my first year of teaching, this video was super helpful and right on time! you're awesome, per usual.

I wish I had this teacher in 2nd grade you sound so nice!! I'm in 7th grade! Can you give me some advice for my field trip on June 2 to jolly Rodgers??

Great info! Thanks for sharing your tips.

Who else is not even a teacher but a student just bored in school watching this during class and understanding the teacher problems

I love your videos!!! :) Can you show us how you organize the drawers next to each of your student tables with all of their materials?

I'm not a teacher... But I am a parent of a kindergartener. I wish her teacher was as amazing as you are. You are so delightful and entertaining

What do you do if a child gets lost and you don't realize you don't have them with you on the bus and you've already left, I'm not a teacher I just want to know what would happen.

I’m going to school to be an elementary and special education teacher and I just found your videos, I already love them and you! Lol thank you for inspiring me and for all the little helpful tips :)

I am considering working on becoming a teacher getting my teaching license in the next few years. I currently work as a teacher assistant for a middle school and I really enjoy it but long term I think teaching my own classes would be something I’d be great at. Have you done any videos on topics related to that, or if not would you be willing to discuss this in another video?

This is perfect! We have a field trip on Friday!

you seam like one of cool teachers

Im going on a field trip in 3 days and it's 6 HOURS LONG!!!!!!😭

What in the world 2 HOURS!?!!??? And I thought my trips were long and mine are only a 30 min drive

Every one of your videos I watch makes me want to be a teacher even more! Your amazing and super creative.

So obsessed with your videos! I found you a few days ago, and I've only been watching your videos! Keep up the amazing work!

I’m currently going to school to be a primary school teacher and your videos are so helpful and so inspiring! You are amazing!

My teacher was inspired by you and she now does the same hacks you do so now our classroom is amazing

You are truly the master of organization 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻. Im obsessed

I am in grade 9 and I had the most amazing teacher like u. I really do appreciate teachers some are mean and nice but they are helping us to reach your dreams even though we all hate school because of the mornigs, homework and walking up the stairs over and over

I love watching these vids cause I want to be a teacher when I’m older

11:33 you have a nice principal ,story time,my bus broke down and my bus kids had to go onto another bus,I didn’t get home until 5:30,and I had a play that night.

I just started teaching in April (yes, at the end of the year and it was crazy but yet amazing) and I am learning so much from you already!!!!!

must I say as a student I have way more respect for teachers after watching (almost all) your videos❤❤

TBH I think my 5th grade home room and now 6th grade ELA teacher watches you, she uses those papers for field trips and stuff. Her room has a ton of things that are in ur store

You are a woman after my own heart. I ALWAYS pack a backpack for field trips with all of the things you mentioned. You have to be prepared. Thanks for sharing! ❤️ and hugs from Missouri! P.S. I have also taken a travel I Spy printable sheet for each student to give them something to do on the bus once they are bored talking to other kiddos. They just look for things on their page and see if they can find everything before we arrive. We just try to find them in order so we don't need crayons, which will end up on the floor of the bus rolling around for the duration of the trip. (Just being honest!) I can't wait for next week's videos. They are a highlight of my weekend mornings when I am the only crazy person awake in my house before 8:00. 😊

It's funny you call it a book bag because in my mind a book bag is exactly the opposite (a side strap bag). I would call it a "backpack" versus a book bag or messenger bag.

I watch these to make sure all your hard work pays off.

I'm only in 6th grade yet you make me wanna be a teacher.

Just purchased the field trip pack 😊! It will be super helpful for my field trip on June 1 to a nature center. Luckily the center is right around the corner from my school so very short bus ride 😊!

Watching this while filling out chaperone info sheets for our field trip tomorrow!

For the next trip, if you don't want to give out your phone number, try the Sideline app. It adds a number to your phone. I use it for my parents when I'm calling from home instead of *67.

I’m her student/// PS the field trip was SO much fun

I have a field trip today and luckily we only have a hour drive ahead of us. Last we went to Phili and it was a 3 hour drive.

I don’t know why I’m watching this since I’m only 13 but I do wanna be a teacher when I’m older. Also I want to stop that stereotype that only female teachers can teach elementary and males have to to teach middle school! 😁

Wow! so organized!!! I'll definitely buy for next school year...

Dang we don't even get to go 20 mins away. Y'all lucky lil 2 graders. I'm in 8th grade

I wish my teacher were this fun.

I love port discovery. It was the best. It is only 15 minutes away from me. I am to old for it.

IM NOT IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, IM IN MIDDLE SCHOOL!!!!!! THIS VIDEO IS REALLY INTERESTING TO SEE THE BUSY LIFE OF A TEACHER!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

A two hour and ten minute journey? In Ireland we get a 15 minute trip down the road.

LOVE your organizational videos, keep them coming. I also take down the bus driver's phone number, especially when attending an event with a lot of other schools. This way I know where exactly the bus will be so I don't have to run around to find it. One yellow bus looks just like another x's 20!l

nice Baltimore md , oh I live in md and it's nice to find a teacher youtuber that's relatively close to ask questions and get advice

No joke kids do get sick on the bus my friend and our grade were going to the city museum for a field trip and she got sick because we had a TERRIBLE bus driver that almost killed us. While we were there I hit my head and got strep throat and we had a softball game that night so niether my friend nor I could play we ended up losing that game sadly. I ended up with a concussion and strep and my friend had the stomach flu. It was just terrible luckily my friend didn’t ride back on the bus but she missed the field trip

I’m going to Attica in the fall and I’m so excited. I’m a criminal justice student and I’ve waited basically a year and I’m so excited

I am actually going on a feild trip in 20 days and it's for a huge important test for kids that passed it and I did!

you seem like a great teacher! ♥️

"Because I teach second grade and they pick their noses and eat it" 😂😂😂😂 I cracked up each time you said it!

Last year when I was in year 7 we went to the zoo which is only about a hour away and since I go to a big school we had five busses for the whole year level. The bus that left the zoo last got back to school first because there was a fire in the tunnel on the freeway and the other bus found out so they got off the freeway. We had to wait on the freeway in the bus for about 45 minutes. We went crazy and made iMovies on our iPads ( we had to do a assignment at the zoo) and everything. Also some people were feeling sick and went for a walk down the freeway.

She seems like she would be an awesome teacher

Thanks I am going on a eight hour longe bus ride for one of my field trips

My grade goes to Washington DC for 3 days in May! (I'm in 6th grade) Right now we have a cheese fundraiser going on

hello I'm one of your students thank you for showing me the video now I know what to pack but when is it going to be the field trip again I kind of forgot😶😶

When I was in elementary school ( I’m now in 7th grade) I love it there it was so much fun but I wasn’t two hours away from me ( I live like 5-7 minutes away from the elementary school and then I live in Maryland as well and Baltimore city is only 20ish minutes away because we will close) my dad went with me and it was so fun.

I have the most nicest teacher

At my school we only go on a school bus for field trip and to go home.

This is so helpful we're going on a field trip to the Detroit institute of art on the 19th

pause at 10:15

I remember in school a teacher kept saying “persons” yet I haven’t been taught that yet so I thought she was just talking like a goofball. I raised my hand to ask her, “isn’t it people?” And she freaked the fuck out. Everyone thought I was being a class clown

Can you explain the meaning of “you know what you think, but you think what you know” because none of my friends know the meaning.

*’karen s’ KAREN SMITH IS GROWN UP?!!?!?!?!?!*

I am a college student and I want to be a teacher and this will be so helpful for me when I become one

I'm literally 13... why am I watching this? I have always wanted to be a teacher and love your chanel, so there are a few reasons to make myself feel better

Lol she was a Savage she said sorry not sorry

I went to the same port discovery for a field trip too! I’ve been there 3 times.

Oh your in Gambrills! I used to live there now I’m in Davidsonville! So cool seeing someone else like you! Also my name is Michelle Lol

I am a nanny and my (3 years old) charge told me some weeks ago : "Nathan at school picks his nose" I was going to say how disgusting it was but she then added "sooooo much more than me". I thought it was funny (and made me gag a bit). Why are kids so gross??

I want to suggest you to know what their allergic to because they might be allergic to gelatine this used to make gummies or chocolate

I am also using a charterd bus!

I wish I had a teacher this awesome when I was in second grade

I love all of you teacher videos in the class room I am watch your field trip video and I love it so far

I'm 11 and I love watching

I'm so glad I found you! I love your videos!!

Wow your school allowed you to give the kids food! I wish I went to school there!

Where I come from our lunches are at 1:00 pm
