[@mr.kylecohen]

Thank you for bringing us into your classroom and your TEACHING. Absolutely loved this video. Appreciate you and your leadership!

[@IlnurMiftakhov]

Thank you for showing the interiors of the school and the classrooms - it is interesting to watch when you live in another country

[@FabbiRosario]

I was missing your classroom. So good to see it again♥ You are doing great, as always ☺

[@Airambeel23]

Thank you for sharing! I missed these videos! In my school we're still doing remote learning but you are giving me a lot of ideas for when we go back to school. Thank you!

[@erikadixon621]

Hey, Bridget! I missed seeing you in the classroom. So happy for this video!! Please do more!! Glad everything has started off on a good note!

[@rociosoto4233]

I live in Peru, we haven't gone back to school yet. I suppose we'll be in that scenario next year at some point. It's interesting knowing about another teacher going through in-person classes during covid. Thank you for sharing.

I teach first grade in California, we are doing virtual teaching. Love seeing your classroom ❤ and getting ideas to setup mine once we get back in the classroom. I use briding literacy with my students and they love it. Parents love it too I've gotten positive feedback from them. You are the best Bridget

[@elqueve]

How much is the start pay in California

[@melissaaffleck6704]

Thank you so much for sharing how things are for you! I'm back to school in person as well and I needed to hear the ways that you are problem-solving and your positivity in the midst of the challenges. Thank you!

[@Smith2118]

Loved seeing you teach, thanks for putting in a lesson! :)

[@anitaweir1480]

Playdough is a hug relaxer for those nervous students and great for those that are sensory as well as those that need that silly outlet!

[@panosinprimary]

I absolutely loved that we got to watch you teaching! 😍🙌

[@toschaferguson5749]

Love seeing you teach and a day of teaching.. thank you!

[@crystalfrye8554]

You’re doing such a great job! Thank you for sharing your day and classroom. I am teaching in person and online simultaneously... it’s a lot to juggle, but God helps me through each day! Much love to you Bridget! Have a great week.

[@plannedinpen4434]

It’s nice that you’re able to take the mask off and just use a shield to teach. We have been told that even if we are far enough away, the mask is still required even with a shield. Loved the video! I’m also in love with you and Michelle’s planner. Best investment I made this year.

[@Blackflyer1]

Same here. We have to wear a mask if we are near anything we will give to students. She talked over the kids breakfast bags and this is a no no in my district.

[@jasminebilly2549]

Thank you for sharing your classroom and your video was awesome and it was inspiring and now I want to be a real teacher one day

[@earlychildhoodteacher6716]

Hi Bridgit, wanted to ask you if you can stay digital with first grade kids, because you know they need their worksheets because they are learning to write? Thanks You are a wonderful teacher!

[@BridgingLiteracy]

Just as everything else in life you have to have balance. Even fifth graders need balance when it comes to tasks that are digital versus on paper. As you mentioned, first graders are learning to write. They are continuing (for some) to develop those fine motor skills and it’s important that we give them time. Find balance on how you plan out your activities and ask yourself “ do they need to practice this skill for this activity?”

[@TitiGladys2]

Thanks for letting us in to your classroom. That's a geat idea Trent had with the projector on the tripod. I'm going to look into that...

[@stephanieleroux5629]

Thank you very much for this video, it's nice to see you again in your classroom, I love these videos as I teach in another country !

[@inestrinh]

Loved the video. Can you share where you got the tripod for the projector?

[@valerie8anne]

new to your channel - do you use apple tv so you can use your laptop anywhere in the classroom? why not just projector to hdmi to adaptor to laptop? curious so i know if i should buy and apple tv too! thank you!

[@marysmemoriesinmotion8537]

The playdough activity was a fun way to get the students involved and feel connected with each other 👍

[@yourmathtutorvids]

Loved getting to see you interacting with your kiddos! 🥰

[@SpaceBandit666]

Thank you SO much for this, im returning back as a sub after not working 2020-2021 school year since Covid came about. I have NO idea what to expect so your video made me feel a little more prepared as to what a day could look like now. As much as I really want the face shield as far as Im aware masks are mandatory indoors here in Ca which makes sense to me but my face feels sweaty already!

[@mikellyarte9106]

It’s nice that you’re allowed 20 students in your classroom. Where I work, we can only fit a max of 10 per COVID regulations

[@aliciahdz83]

@theletteredclassroom Is there a way to see an example of your morning meeting with the playdoh assignments? Tpt?

[@1993slh]

Fantastic video Bridget!! You are one amazing teacher!! I am one of your biggest fans!! You and Michelle from Pocketful of Primary are my inspirations. I want to meet you both. I hope once Covid ends that I will someday.

[@frenchwithmadameg1116]

Where did you get your Eiffel Tower lamp? I teach French and would love to get one!

[@carliecausey7698]

Does the iPad lag at all when you share it using the Apple TV? I share my iPad screen using google meet and there is a lag. And what’s the white board app you were mentioning you use?

[@aronrrustemaj]

This sounds so weird but your whistle is so shiny😂 I have this slight obsession with them. Yet another great video 💙

[@ilsekeizer]

I love playing soothing background music when the kids are doing independent work, but there are always a couple who get distracted by the music or the images. Is that the same in you classroom?

[@karensturgill3396]

I am doing in person and online simultaneously. I am being pushed to do guided reading. .Are you able to do any kind of guided reading?

[@alinesilva8310]

your classroom is amazing

[@jillhitchens2432]

What mask lanyard do you use?

[@maliksutton6634]

Hi Mrs Bridget, I am happy to hear that you are back in school for in-person teaching. You really have your classroom organized and taking extra precautions to protect your self and students. I absolutely adore your face mask by the way. I checked your first day back stream and enjoy hearing about your first day back teaching. One topic you addressed that really stuck with me is masks because you mentioned your own experience with them and that most have been hard. You mentioned you cried because it was so hard for you to breathe and wear one. I have to say that you shouldn't be so hard on yourself because you are human and allowed to show your true emotions whether that be fear, joy, or stress. It will get better the more you wear a mask, trust me because I experienced the same thing feeling uncomfortable, and hard to breathe along with foggy glasses. You addressed other mask concerns such as breathing heavily, moisture, and face shield. I don't think that you are doing anything wrong while wearing a mask and you may just be a heavy breather. Please don't feel bad about being a heavy breather because I am a heavy breather when I wear a mask too and let me tell you it's not easy especially if you wear glasses. Have you address this matter to your family, doctor, or someone you absolutely trust? I completely agree that a mask can get warm and uncomfortable to wear let alone breathe in because as you said, you're constantly taking therefore moisture is going build up and there's no avoiding that. If you had a both a face mask and face shield, you may feel fatigued or claustrophobic because the mask is enough as it is then having the shield on just makes it more unbearable. During your demonstration with both items on, I could tell that you were uncomfortable because you feel like you can't breathe and it gets super humid in there. With a mask, you may feel claustrophobic, can't breathe, or having something on your face could like having a plunger stuck on your face that you can't remove. At the end, you got choked up from the mask and shield during the demonstration, which is not a good sign. After reviewing that video I knew I wanted to help you in the transition to mask wearing. I have some tips on face mask anxiety and feeling anxious. Tips for wearing mask when facing anxiety 1. Find a mask that you want to touch and hold while doing something you enjoy such as watching TV. 2. Put the mask on while you are at home or somewhere you feel safe. 3. Wear the mask around the house. 4. Wear the mask outside the house. Tips for feeling anxious when wearing a mask. 1. Remind yourself the mask isn't dangerous. 2. Remind yourself you can take it off whenever you want if necessary. 3. Slow your breathing. 4. Practice wearing a mask at home where you feel safer. 5. Find a mask that works for you. Additionally tips are: Breathe from your nose instead of your mouth. Try to focus less on the mask to reduce anxiety. Please feel free to share this with family, friends, neighbors, coworkers, and etc. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't ever hesitate to let me know in this comment or email.

i love your videos

[@ashleyhaskins8618]

Hi, I hope your school year has bee going well for you and I hope your students have been doing well in school. What dose your schedule look like this school year? I live in Vermont and I am staying for a transitional year and my school has been doing highbred - in person learning or virtual / remote learning. I am doing completely virtual / remote learning for my fall semester. I really enjoy watching all your videos, you inspire me very much. It is definitely a very different / challenging school year for everyone. Do you mind if I follow you on instagram? Thank you for sharing.
