A Day in the Life of a 3rd Grade Teacher - WHERE HAVE I BEEN?!

[@kristinchappell6677]

You don't ever have to apologize for not posting if you are busy or overwhelmed! Life happens, and this isn't your full time job or the highest priority in your life. I am struggling with finding balance in my life, and I know it's not easy to do. Do what's best for you! Thanks for the honesty!

[@amber4653]

Yeah you're back!!! I laugh and TOTALLY get the end of the day chaos. My desk is a disaster right now. I'm pretty sure it's a fire hazard and my sanity is buried under it all.

[@jamiea4205]

My favorite teacher vlogger! 😍 Could you maybe do a video or explain the pros and cons of third grade? I’m a first year teacher and they put me in 7th grade however, now I have the option to transfer to 3rd grade next year and I’ve only had experience with 2nd and 7th! I really think I would love 3rd because I loved 2nd but I’m hoping to get your honest opinion of the pros and cons! If you can, please help a girl out! Lol

[@rachellestewart9946]

Good to see your face again. I feel like January is a crazy month to be a teacher. January is exhausting!!!

[@theglamteacher7386]

I can't stop staring a the lime green pops of color in your room. Like, I know i've seen it before (obviously) in your other vlogs lol but every time I see it, it just looks so ascetically pleasing with the aqua and wood colored paper. 😍😍

[@teachersconnect4608]

Glad you're back!

[@leighafurman6665]

I like these king of laid back videos they are nice to watch!

[@kellyodonnell5672]

Yes! Please add that behavior paper to your TPT store!

[@HelloNatalieK]

You have such a down to earth personality! Grace & Peace!

[@rachkeyt]

happy to see you back! :) love this sweater/hair

[@AlyssaA117]

First and foremost I'm so glad to see you back! Just found out this week my dad has cancer, so to come on youtube and see one of my favs makes my day. Second, dont feel a creative slump, for me personally I love your day in the life, decorating/organizing and the morning meeting videos. And I have to ask, what's your honest opinion in common core math, compared to the way we were taught?

[@SparklingSpeducator]

The fraction bracelet is such a fun idea! I think I will do something like that with my fourth and fifth graders.

[@djthereplay]

+Early EDventures Mrs. Shelley , I am so glad that you are back . I will say that I don't know about the students grading their own papers because it can become stressful on the students for the fact that when they show their work to their parents their parents could start growing suspicions if those grades came from you the teacher or themselves and it is walking on the thin line of a law because there is a law about what you are putting out there so let's make sure that you will not be getting yourself or any other teacher or teacher in the making in legal trouble and make sure that it is also ok with the parents of your students before you do this . Sometimes doing the right thing is not the easiest thing to do but you get more glory in the end from doing the right thing . Hang in there and I cannot wait to hear and see much more from you . - Dwight

[@ms.und3rst00d6]

Yeah!!! Welcome back!!!

[@silvaignis24]

Glad your back! Love your vlogs!

[@ashleyhaskins8618]

Glad to have you back. I enjoy watching your teacher videos. How was your winter break. I am s high school special Ed student and I had my final exam yesterday. I have second Semester begins on Thursday.

[@sannydee]

welcome back!!!!!

[@TeachinginPearls]

Yay! I'm so glad you're back!

[@rachyweber8335]

Thanks for doing these vlogs! I really appreciate them! Yes on that behavior log.... Also I teach comparing fractions of course with visual aids and pictures but then I show them cross multiplying ... that's seems to be the easiest strategy for even my weakest students. Again they need to understand the concepts - I usually tell them I gain a lot of weight during fractions, as I always am looking for the biggest peice.

[@gurmeetg7693]

Watching your videos makes me excited to become a teacher!

[@sayedmoses5756]

I feel that you have been inside my soul as if our sprites have met a long time ago.

[@taylorannh24]

What camera do you use? It looks so good. I love how you’re always so honest because teaching is truly my passion but there are cons and bad days and part of reflecting is talking about it! Thank you!!

[@aaronlanier]

I missed you too! I am cleaning out my closet and reorganizing then as part of my preparation for my classroom tour video!

[@rosainostrosa1838]

Yes! Pls put behavior log on TPT.

[@royaevereadsbooks]

So many great ideas in this video 😍especially the fraction bracelets. Thank you!

[@cupcakie191]

You should make a video on using your Cricut and tpt

[@Oohmyymiaa]

Hey, just an FYI: You have a typo on the Weekly Progress Report. It reads, "WAS needed improvement" instead of "needed improvement."

[@MrsCyr]

Hey lady! Love your vlog! I recently read something that made an impact on me--- If it does not take a Masters Degree to accomplish- assign it to a student!

[@reneeo4284]

Could you please put the behavior log in your TPT store! That is such a great resource.

[@earlychildhoodteacher6716]

Hi, I would love the weekly behavior report.

[@raypie137]

PLEASE put the behavior report in your TPT!!

[@coreyalkire5070]

I just finished the Magic of Math fraction unit. I also added in the butterfly method for comparing fractions. Old school, but it was my kids favorite method. 😊 did your students have luck with the drawing it out with the rectangle method they use in Magic of Math? Mine not so much... but I don’t know if it’s just how I’m teaching it. I think motor skill wise, it was too advanced for them.

[@mandyv513]

can you do a video on how you incorporate technology in your math or science lessons?

[@lluviag1119]

I know you’re a new teacher as am and I was wondering what you have to do for your induction program ? I have to do a lot of things that seem unnecessary and pointless but just curious !

[@katemaree5458]

Hey! With the fraction unit that you purchased, are you the only teacher on your grade that uses that unit and the other teachers use the other one that you think is boring? Are you allowed to use different units as long as the unit covers the same concepts as the original unit? I'm a pre-service teacher in Australia and I noticed during my prac that all of the grade teachers used the same programs which resulted in using the same resources. I'm assuming this was to have consistency across the whole grade, but I'm not sure whether they are allowed to use their own units. Thanks! :)

[@mistiesanchez1722]

I’m a new sub and I absolutely love third grade by far my favorite!!!

[@aylak562]

Could you explain what P.E minutes are? And what you doing for it. Thank You

[@melissaalavanja6666]

I’m not sure if you can say...but I’m wondering who came to your school to talk about trauma. I’m a first grade teacher in Indiana and we had someone come to our school a few times to talk about trauma in the brain and she was sooo good! I wonder if it’s the same person. She mentioned she traveled the country.

[@peytonmccaw4253]

what mascara do you use?????

[@Bondwithjames]

Ugh, lol. You just reminded me that we are giving a campus-wide English Middle-of-the-Year (MoY) exam this Tuesday. Now, I have to restructure my original ideas.

[@and4563able]

How do you reinforce math concepts with the students at home?

[@RockstarRochelle]

OMG so glad to see you’re back! We’ve missed you ☀️🌈

[@krazykaric]

Was the video supposed to be silent in the beginning on purpose?

[@Sunshine1986-d1e]

krazykaric I thought at first my sound was not working lol then as I watched and figured out that she talks later

[@krazykaric]

@@Sunshine1986-d1e haha me too. I thought my sound was messed up or she forgot to add sound.

[@0411ACE01]

Lolol I pushed my sound button! Lol

[@PammiHoneyBeauty]

your lashes look bomb what mascara do you use?

[@philbeer314]

I totally forgive you! Your life behind the camera should come first. That bracelet is a fund idea.

[@audreylear5011]
