We were kicked out of our classroom for 3 WEEKS!! - Teach Vlog 

Been using fetch for years and absolutely love it. Truly one thing that isn't to good to be true

Oh my goodness what a pain! I'm glad to see that you are back! I hope your kids are feeling better!

Been using Fetch forever. Great app!!!!

I had a similar beginning of the sch yr but mine was like we started 5 weeks behind

😮

we owe so much to teachers tbh☹️ some of the most influential people in the world yet so under appreciated ❤️

Hi Shelly! Yesterday I was offered a long-term sub assignment and I found your vlog to learn about centers. Today, I accepted after meeting with the principal. One of the major needs in the class is managing behavior, the students have had 3 teachers since August 19th! My first day is tomorrow. I am very interested in the Teacher vs. 2nd grade behavior Prize system you have on your whiteboard. I prefer using the doorbell system as an attention getter and would like this system to reinforce the behavior. By the way, I'll be subbing in a 2nd grade class. Do you know where I can download it?

Hi, Shelly! Am I spelling your name right? I'm Andrea and I'm from Brazil! I've been teaching English classes for 20 years and I love teaching but since I've got a really hard class to teach my life is falling apart! Please help me with anything! I teach 2nd and 4th Grades Ss. and I have 25 Ss in each class! I'll be looking forward for your reply!

Started school September 8th. It is going well. Have 14 in my TK class.

Literally just got a $10 Amazon gift card with your code and my recent Amazon purchase! Woo HOO!

You are soooo right!!! Teachers just roll with whatever happens in a day!! I love watching your videos !

I am amazed at your positivity and put togetherness! WOW! Way to go for breathing through the chaos and somehow making it work!

Hi, we just started doing the same phonics curriculum that you are using. I am really struggling with teaching it and keeping them engaged. Any tips or resources?

Do your school mind you filming? I thought it would be a safeguarding issue?

How do you track progress with centers?

Yes, started school and BOY, ITS CRAZY!! new readingvseries, new program, new setting...ect like you...we're making it! Glad you're back!

I love your channel. Your amazing between teaching and dealing with your family and school events taking place

I Love your videos, love the music- Will R

If you don't know where to put the phonics books, and you have an empty shelf, you can always write their student numbers on the edge of each book, and then they would be able to each grab their own book off the shelf easily

We have been in school for a little over a month. As for call and responses, I am like you. I don't like them. I use a metal chime, and it works well. I have 4th to 8th (French teacher) and it works with all of them. I like your idea of teacher vs students for the refocus. I might use that with my 6th graders this year. I have 21 and they are super chatty.

Love your videos can you do a planning video

I am starting my first teaching job next month. It's really only an afternoon club one day a week, but I am also still in my very last semester at uni. I would love some tips how to make reading lessons fun (1st and 2nd grade). Thank you, your videos are so motivational.

I’m so glad to see you BACK! I was wondering how you were doing! Thank you for filling us in and being transparent! That’s one of the reasons why I love your vlogs! ⭐️You handled all that whirlwind of chaos beautifully and now you’re able to share your story! Kudos for handling life like the BOSS You are! 💙

Girl I hear you! My school year so far has started off really crazy :/ Everything from myself getting sick with strep wired viruses and pulling out my back to loosing my teacher aide the 2 nd day of school due to budget cuts :( having to do EVERYTHING on my own ugh 4 episodes of students having Covid or family members leaving me outside for long periods of time while my room gets sprayed down… New student with no heads up and half of my class still on a pre k to k level and I teach grade 2! I was seriously doubting my ability to emotionally make it through the school year. I have never felt like this and I love to teach but boy it’s been a rough one so far! At least I know I’m not alone!! Thanks for your encouraging videos❤hang in there!

+Early EDventures God Bless You, Shelley. Keep on handling it like a champ. - Dwight

Hi Shelley, I love your classroom videos and teaching tips! About the recurring ear infections,... a few years ago, I heard a physician on the radio saying that, after months of antibiotics and consulting with experts, he had managed to curtail his own son's chronic ear infection issues by simply not giving him any more milk products. His friend, a natural medicine practitioner had suggested it. And, apparently, it worked. I thought I'd pass the info along. I hope your family is in tip-top shape again soon. Thanks for being so generous in sharing.

I don't have a specific question, but I also teach 2nd AND I was evacuated because of that fire. So...ya. I feel ya. This is a hard job. I like that you are using GLAD. I love GLAD strategies. It was the BEST PD I've ever had, hands down. Have a good year!

I just started using fetch about a month ago and already I have over 14,000 points I love it 😊

If you see this there are some AMAZING skip counting songs on RU-vid from HOPSCOTCH. My third graders LOVE it and the songs 2-6 are great! (7-9 are tricky and my kids didn’t love them as much) It helped a ton with skip counting/multiplication

Hi, Iove your videos! They’re so inspiring. I really want to start the daily deep dive for my classroom. I was just wondering if you make the questions or purchase it from somewhere. Thank you!

OMG I'm so glad to see you. I didn't know what was going on. I was so worried about you. I even prayed that you or your babies weren't sick or anything,, lol.

I was also displaced from my classroom, which happens to be a portable building. We have swamp coolers where I live and mine wasn't working for a month before they decided we had to move until it was fixed. I got to go into a classroom in the actual building, but it was essentially a storage room. Then, a week later, I was moved to another temporary classroom downstairs. And I am a SPED teacher, so I have kids coming and going at different times. I was given no notice when being asked to move from temp room 1 to temp room 2 or when told it was time to go back to my portable. Sigh. It was difficult. I wish I could have just stayed in the building, for many reasons.

So excited you're back in your space! That really makes such a big difference with feeling "sane" and staying organized! How are your boys feeling?

THANK YOU FOR SHARING! Last year I had such a similar chaos story. Thanks for being so real. This is teaching!!

Do you do some little bit of SS. We have started it has been crazy but fin. Love you channel

We started school August 9, and had to teach virtually from August 24 until September 9 due to having no water pressure whatsoever at my school! I teach high school foreign language, and luckily I spent the 2020-2021 school year becoming very well-versed in virtual teaching. I feel your pain about not being able to be in your classroom, though! I’m glad to be back in mine, especially since my air conditioner finally got fixed after 2 years of being broken!

So glad you are back in your classroom! Is your aide full time? How many students do you have this year?

Love your vlogs Shelly you keep it real. I started school the last week of August and already I got covid and lost a week of school and since I am a teacher in P. R. we just lost another week thanks to hurricane Fiona. But all tragedies aside my kids are great and its been great in the classroom. Keep up the great work!!

❤ your shirt. We have been in school for a month. My kiddos are the sweetest this year.

Glad to hear the good news! What a whirlwind! I hope the kids are doing fine

I must be buying the wrong things, shopping at the wrong places, or not spending enough money (lol), because I am NOT earning many points with Fetch. I've had it for about two years and I'm still under 40,000 points.

So glad you’re in your room! My year is going great!

I hope your little ones are doing well ❤

Good evening

Early💙.

I remember having to move out of my classroom for a week or two during my first year of teaching. It was mid year, so it wasn't as annoying, but it was disruptive. We were in a spare new classroom that hadn't ever been used for a whole class at that point, and was missing a whole bunch of things that we needed - like somewhere for the kids to hang their coats! Not fun.
