Girl power to you for starting back on the 2nd!! We don’t start back until Monday the 6th for a workday and the kids return on the 7th! I’m still recovering from pre-Christmas parties 😂
All of my friends in FL are starting on the 7th with kids as well! Totally feel you - I'm still getting it all together while simultaneously teaching all day LOL
Video ideas- outfit of the day, classroom tour, classroom organization, teacher desk organization, what I pack for school lunch, favorite lessons I’ve taught... you are one of my favorites! So happy to see you posting more often! I’m a first year pre-k teacher this year!
I love how positive you are! It is so motivating for teachers like me who have been teaching for a while and sometimes lose the joy!! Keep it up girlfriend!
So sweet to see your videos! We go back this upcoming Monday for a workday and students return Tuesday. Can you do a video based on the centers that you do for your students and what’s the routine/schedule for them. Thank you, happy 2020! Cheers to a great rest of the teaching year! Love your peppyness lol and outfits!!!
Happy new year to you as well! I will definitely make a centers video - so many requests for this. I'm surprised, but look forward to it soon (: Thank you for encouraging me. So lucky to have such positive people here!
Putting Them First thank you!...oh sweet 🎉happy to hear that cause often times they learn easier/quicker when they’re having fun in centers compared to paper and pencil... I’m a first year teacher as well so I’m always wanting to learn new things! Been following you since the beginning, it’s nice to have support from the education field. So just keep swimming 😊 we’re in second semester already!!! ✨
I love your videos! I would love to see a video of what your center activities look like! As a special ed teacher I love to see what general education teachers are using to I can create similar activities for my students!
@@puttingthemfirst Woohoo!! I'm starting back up the vlogs next week. Also ordered a car mount so we can fix that AWFUL car angle in all of them 😂Video requests for you: morning routine and night routine, a week of lunches (I always run out of ideas), prepping centers, outfits of the week! All of the things!
Nice to see you Lauren! I also watched most of the videos with you and Maddie. Both of you are so dedicated. Your room looks great and you seem so much more relaxed. You're settled in now and have a good handle on things. First year successes!! I need to be more of a skidaddle, peace out girl scout this year!!🤗
Thank you so much! Definitely feel more at ease in my room I'm glad that comes across in videos. & Maddie is the BEST - the most dedicated and passionate teacher I've ever met and I get to call her my friend.
Love watching your vlogs! My fav RU-vidr. I am a college student about to start internship to graduate in December. Thank you for giving me so much insight in the classroom and ideas to utilize in the future!! ❤️ Gives me so much excitement.
Thank you so much! As a first year teacher, it can feel like I don't always have worthwhile input compared to some veterans out there. This comment made my day, and we are so lucky to have you here in this space!
I love to see your videos!! I was really excited when I started teaching many years ago. I have never stopped loving what I do (teach kinder) but the excitement tends to fade at times! You have been an inspiration in getting that joy back!!!! Thanks
I LOVE your vlogs!! Thanks for sharing your passion for teaching! I teach first in Tennessee and we do an hour long block of reading centers each morning where I get to small group with each student everyday and I LOVE it! It’s a gamechanger!
Vlogs vlogs vlogs lol. I really do love your vlogs. It's just so fun to follow along behind the scenes of a classroom with you! Plus your positive, upbeat personality is so refreshing. Also, you should definitely do a video filling us in on the pageant!! I would love to hear about why you decided to compete, what you had to do to prepare yourself, etc. When is your competition and will it be nationally televised?? -Mandy
I will certainly keep the vlogs coming! Thank you for the suggestion. The pageant is January 11-12 but is not televised/streamed anywhere. I will update y'all after!
Love the vlog! I would love to see a video on your desk. How you organize it, any system you use to keep paper clutter down, and any supplies on/in it you feel have been must haves! Happy new year to you! 😊
YESS MORE VLOGS! my gosh you have truly inspired me to go into the teaching career. I was lost months ago and I found your channel and I must say I love your energy!
This is my first vid of yours to watch and I love it! I love your energy and positive attitude! I’m in my first year of teaching in 6th 💛 hope you have a great year!!!
The clock on your word wall (since it doesn’t work) you should put yellow paper over it and googly eyes and make it a happy sun. 🌞 Glad to see you back!
Happy birthday Momma Barnard!! I’m so excited to see your vlogs are back! I start my first teaching job after graduating in December this month and I am so excited/nervous - best advice??
Oh my gosh congratulations!! That's so exciting. My biggest advice is to know your procedures and management strategies and lead HEAVILY with those before instruction can follow. You got this girl! Keep us updated (:
Hey Lauren, Happy New year to you and Happy Birthday to your mum. I enjoyed watching your vlogs with Maddie too and it was interesting hearing your student teaching experiences and I was comparing them with mine. I am back with my class on Monday and I to have missed them so much. I work in Reception (4 and 5 year olds) in London, England. Xx
Thank you - Happy New Year to you as well! So cool to connect with teachers around the world. I would love to one day move back/teach in England! My reception teacher is now headmistress at the infant school I attended, so I'm hoping she would hire me ;) LOL Have a great first day back with your little ones!
I love this idea! Would be a fun challenge to film and edit a different style of video. I'm not promising the cutest outfits ever but I will try my best (;
That is a smart idea to review your class procedures. How does it feel to have one semester completed? I wish that you had a couple of extra days to be able to come back on January 6 rather than January 2. Take care and I hope that things are going well for you.
Been living! LOL I've been secretly preparing for the Miss Massachusetts USA Pageant next weekend since June, it's all coming to fruition now so I have more time to film and upload :)
Putting Them First I’m a first year teacher in Ireland and it’s not really something we do in our classrooms but I’m super interested in learning more about it!
Hello! First year 1st grade teacher here. Is the splash math free? I have never heard of it, and I'm interested in trying something new for my firsties!
