I so understand the exhaustion. I also teach second grade and it has been SO HARD. they’re so needy, not independent, and I feel like I’m teaching September skills and routines still in March. They don’t remember how to be in school or make good choices. It’s so tough!! I’m feeling the burn out. You are so inspiring, and have some fabulous ideas! Thanks for posting these videos!

[@jaquessialawson8853]

This is me! I work with special needs second graders! I have an inclusion classroom and two paras! it's very tiresome!

[@nubiacardenas9698]

I teach high school 10th graders, and the feeling of exhaustion is overwhelming.

[@adawnhowell9256]

Second graders were in Kindergarten when the pandemic started, so they haven't had a full day/week routine in 2 yrs, and never had a full school year EVER, compared to all grades above them. If schools continue to do remote learning and different cohort schedules, many more kids will be unfamiliar to the routine of going to school '5 days a week, for 6.5 hrs a day'.

[@imunderurbedrn4350]

What if ur kids see this The kids if they see this:wow miss i thought u loved us👁👄👁

[@aprilstella5727]

I love watching your videos because you’re such a ray of sunshine!! As a fellow teacher, we’re surrounded by so much negative. It’s refreshing to see some positivity!💜

[@Stephanie-qj5dz]

I was literally just thinking today, I miss Shelley, I can’t wait till she vlogs again and then bam you were in my sub box. This made my day...I’m so excited to watch... I love your vlogs! And yes I would love to see a conference vlog 😃

[@dmctgrlly]

My kiddos absolutely adore Happy Numbers!!! I love that it is meeting my kids where they are at to help them fill gaps from the last two years. I teach 3rd grade this year and when my kiddos came into my room this year, all but 4 kiddos came in at a 1st Grade level. They are all now 2nd Grade and higher because of this program and small group instruction. I can't say enough about Happy Numbers either. I am going to keep using this program as long as possible with my kiddos.

[@walterbenner2077]

Absolutely love your videos, please post more weeklong videos. Specifically what has worked for you this year, what you plan to change. You're Awesome! Thanks so much!

[@eyobanion]

I have really missed your videos and am so glad your back!! I love the week-in-my-teaching- life videos. You are going SO fast though, I struggle to keep up, lol! I love your organization and ideas because I have a similar teaching style! You rock!

[@5Tallulah]

This was so great! Thank you for being so real!!!! I really needed this 💜

[@lesleydiaz2115]

Was so excited to see a new vlog! I'm a former 2nd and K teacher and you're my favorite KZbinr, whether it be teaching content or family stuff! 🤗

[@Natalie-ll6bg]

I love you!I love you! I love you! Thank you so much for being real and honest and showing that any teacher, even if you are experienced or organized my walk into a classroom one day and not have your plan on the paper. Does it happen all the time, sure it doesn't, is it best practice? No. But it's real and it happens.Thank you.

[@michelled.3849]

OMG…I can totally relate to what you said after lunch on your Monday! You took the words right out of my mouth.

[@Laura_aa123]

I loved this vlog! So yeah, I'm really excited to see more "schoolday/schoolweek" vlogs 🙂

[@hopecrump8738]

I haven't heard anything from you since classroom setup and after having the baby WELCOME BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@nubiacardenas9698]

I missed your videos! Had to see you back.

[@apriltoro5328]

Thank you for your honesty. This info is so helpful and your honesty is appreciated!

[@AlisonChin]

ahh, yay, i’ve missed your vlogs!

[@mariahhh3381]

Please do more of these vlogs!! The longer, the better!

[@lainiedavis2521]

Thank god your back!!! Please vlog the conferences prep

[@katyr7513]

Yes! I can relate! We have so much to do, it is hard trying to fit and balance everything in the schedule.

[@joyfulliving1161]

Great video! Thank you! It seems like you have very good time management to get work done,(report cards, conferences, planning, prep) and still leave work on time (or within a reasonable time). I am always at work late...I'm not sure if I'm a perfectionist, or poor time management...probably the latter. My class is beautiful, but im there WAY after the late bell. A video of tips would be great!

[@jengiolando4159]

Plz do more of these kind of vlogs! Very insightful!

[@malissac7966]

Love week long vlogs!

[@GVSU15]

Love these week long vlogs. I should really do more prep work during the week instead of the weekend.

[@michelled.3849]

Oh my gosh! Lucky you…you can come in in Monday with an empty plan book! Lol…we have to have our done online by Sunday evening.

[@111484mt]

I definitely like these types of vlogs! 26min is not that long 😊. Keep doing them ❤️

[@cavent1490]

Love this, I know you went into some detail about your math flop, but more info on this would be great!

[@rayew.6212]

The exhaustion is real! I teach middle school. It is not better in middle school. Their ability to focus is so tiny. It's like we went back 4-5 YEARS worth of skills for so many of them. It's crazy. I am really curious to see how next year goes because I think this year was just destined to be really hard because it was just thrown back on us that we would be "back to normal" no matter what. It has been anything but normal.

[@mrenay15]

My kiddos LOVE knockout! It’s really good for math reviews too.

[@ddchomeschool]

Great vlog, loved it!!

[@erinacatherina8657]

Thanks so much for the info. And you look GREAT in red!

[@alainafrechette8925]

Teacher tip: I have an alexa ( the echo 8) and it the best thing ever my kids love it we have her tell us joke, play music, and tell us the weather! She can even present your morning slides! Of course its really small so i wouldn't do it every day but for something fun you can use it! You can also make it into a class job like clean off alexa or set up alexa or even ask alexa!

[@jaquessialawson8853]

This was me in February after having Covid in January! No lesson planning at all but, my students learned about different historical black figures that they were never introduced too! That’s all I had the strength for! But now I’m back I’ve planned for all of March and some of April!

[@millisagable1318]

I have been missing your school vlogs xD

[@jasminejoseph8307]

That laugh! Hahah! Girl I've definitely been there before too! 🤣

[@marissakeepstheheat2]

As a student teacher, I feel the same way about my planner lol. I just take it day by day 😂

[@katyr7513]

I love your Fix it sentence kit! How did you organize it?

[@jenniferstafford125]

Thanks for vlogging! Grabbing some great ideas!! Rando question: How big are the cricut letters for your reading and math boards-I love them!

[@avianaendress4705]

What time does your school start? And you should do a Q&A video.

[@dhines3804]

My 3rd graders love playing knockout game!

[@rebeccamcmillin9300]

There is a math version of the knockout game that my students LOVED!!!

[@kristyguest8443]

so during your small group time you do writing conferences as a group? would love to hear more about that! Do you find time for small group guided reading?

[@sarahlantto8913]

Thanks for being real! 😊

[@rahmamohamed1336]

What an awesome teaching skills 😅

[@ejo4squared01]

I definitely agree with students attention spans trying to do whole group writing even for ten minutes has been nearly impossible lately. Definitely need to change the structure to save my sanity! Lol

[@gabsbv]

Please keep doing these long vlogs!!

[@tashnik]

can you talk more about your writing curriculum and how you are using it..

[@stephaniesexton9555]

More Please!!!! 👍🏽👍🏽

[@christysnellings507]

It's hard for people out of education to understand the different ways schools are run for each state. Like where you begin around 8:55, in my state most schools begin around 7:30 - 7:45. In my school, teachers have to sign in by 7:10 and students begin coming in from 7:15 - 7:45 and my 1st period begins at 7:50. The differences are crazy.

[@AWINningCombination]

So glad to see your name pop up in my subscriptions! Hope you’ve been well. Hate that you’re headed towards burnout…I hope you find a way to address that phenomenon, as I love seeing your teacher content. You’re the best!

[@mzzzzzzday]

My planner has looked like that all year. I still teach! lmao

[@heidyperez5616]

What are some good morning meeting activities that incorporate SEL for 2nd graders?

[@miaroman9320]

Happy Numbers sounds a lot like I-Ready math! Targeted intervention. I love it!

[@EarlyEDventures]

Yes, but way more fun!! I’ve used both and prefer Happy Numbers SO much more!

[@miaroman9320]

@@EarlyEDventures Wow, that is great to know! I will definitely check it out. :)

[@calimiller5671]

I see in your video your grammar time area. Where did you get those posters from?

[@meggenloveton9909]

do you have a video for conference prep??

[@tinadecker7947]

Last year my son Happy Numbers.

[@crystalcortez1648]

Do u have the class jobs list on ur TPT? Also the grammar posters for quotation marks, question marks, etc???

[@rosainostrosa1838]

We love Happy Numbers in Spanish!

[@kaylayoungblood9577]

Are you doing new labels for all your supplies bins and organize all supplies and mail box and Amazon wish list and lakeshore extra supplies storage cubes and bookshelf storage center

[@mariaanguloruiz7202]

Do you get a prep every day?

[@danceteam33]

Can you explain how the screen works in your classroom? I’m a social worker & I asked for a smart TV vs a smart board to save the district money. What do you use to connect your computer to your TV?

[@EarlyEDventures]

Bluetooth. It connects via air play

[@alinaali8746]

What planner is that?

[@sparrow845]

"is it healthy? no. But is it Friday? ...??" LOL

[@janettejoanne1426]

Where do you get your planner?

[@alexisburns9499]

Anyone know where her planner is from??

[@emilyelmore2482]

[@erinacatherina8657]

Do you try to not take ANYTHING home?

[@Piickkle]

[@edwardsinedu978]

Hahahahahahahaha I just saw that you hate the color red.. and I literally have a video going up next week where I say the EXACT same thing. I hate it and it's our school color. I'm dead...

[@pamelashivers5234]

I need advice for a new 2nd grade teacher!!!

[@connieb5839]

It’s Oct. 10, 2023 in the life of a 2nd grader. How would you EXPLAIN this math problem to a student? (I’m the g’parent.) 7?-?8= ?4

[@annaaccount1655]
