TEACHER VLOG | MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR | A Classroom Diva

|| EXPAND TO SEE MORE ||
Hi Teachers I know it is January already, but I have been working on this teacher vlog and I wanted to share it because it's better late than never, right!? :) Grab a cup of coffee and snuggle up on a cold, snowy day. I hope you ENJOY this LONG vlog! I will share with you a few weeks in the life of a second grade teacher! I am in my classroom for the majority of the video, but you will also get to meet a few of our family members that were in town for Christmas, as well! Enjoy a vlog full of school before the holidays, ice skating, skiing, games, and MORE! :)

You are such a good example of respect and compassion toward your kiddos. You inspire me to be the best teacher I can be.

[@sunshineshazma]

Omg!! A long vlog! I cannot wait to watch it! Please do a classroom tour when you have time :)

[@AClassroomDiva]

Will do!!! :)

[@thomashouk5434]

You are much more the dedicated maverick than the petulant diva. I have a first grade teacher I will never forget. We even shared the same birthday. Keep up the great work and please know there are some with you who will never forget your kindness, efforts, and yes ..beauty.

[@Shemsta013]

I love how you are so positive and take things as they come to you. It is so refreshing to see a teacher like that. You’re a great teacher. God bless you and be with you

[@Lts825]

I really love your videos! They inspire and excite me for what’s to come in the future! I can’t wait for more this year. Best of luck! 😊

[@katiekirby3713]

Watched the whole thing and LOVED it! I’m in my first block of the Teacher Ed Program at my college, and watching your videos makes me so excited to have my own kiddos!!!

[@2020girlygirl]

So excited that you have a new video up, and that it's a long one! I was just thinking of you the other day, and immediately clicked on your video when I saw you uploaded! 🤗

[@hifromthestudio]

You are such an inspiration to watch. I love to see the grind, hardwork, and determination you have as a teacher! Hope winter break was restful, at least spring break will be here soon!

[@CHill99603]

I love your room...so much amazing storage space!❤

[@AClassroomDiva]

Thanks, Cathy! I love it, too, but it was surprisingly challenging to set up at the beginning of the year! :)

[@witchy_swiftie]

Oh! I LOOOVE Spearfish Canyon in the winter ❄️ I live in the Rapid City area and it gets suuuper pretty when it snows. Also love ice skating in the Square 💜 love your videos!!

[@tristawilliams8393]

I love your videos and i look forward to watching them!!!! I’m wanting to become a second grade teacher and i love seeing the vlogs you put out

[@hannahcurtis9919]

Love how you included the audio of the performances! So sweet.

[@carolbaez8315]

i missed your vlogs so much !! almost finished with undergrad, you've motivated me so much :)

[@taylormm97]

I missed your videos so much! I’m a junior in college studying to be an elementary school teacher 😊📚🍎

[@roderickwoodard1415]

Hey there! 😀 I hope the new year is going well for you! 😀 I love your classroom setup, and how you have created a safe space for your students. I officially completed my Master's degree in Elementary Education in October 2017! 😀 I am hoping to start teaching in August of next year! 😀 Your videos give me much inspiration for my future classroom! 😀 Communication is very important. Documentation is so key when talking with parents. Behavior phone calls are hard to make, but they are important as it is important that all students have a safe, comfortable, and motivating environment to learn and grow in academically, socially, and emotionally.

[@caitlynnwhitley7730]

You are such a good teacher to your kids!!!Love you❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@homeschoolwithnanay6839]

Yaay! I have been waiting for your vlog and it's finally here. This made my day!❤

[@donnameadows4583]

I was so glad to see vlogs from you again!!! Can you tell me where you got the Elf Journals from? I really love them!!!!

[@malissac7966]

Great video... looking forward to more!

[@zoeliz2862]

Yea I am sooo excited every time you post!!!

[@AClassroomDiva]

Thanks, Zoe!

[@ep301]

Love your vlogs. I teach 2nd grade too so its nice to hear another 2nd grade teacher talk about their experiences. This is my first full time year in 2nd, but I subbed for 2nd since 2016...and I have had an issue with stealing EVERY year. Either stealing prizes from a prize box, or stealing from my desk (like my fun paper clips and stuff), or stealing from other kids. It's so frustrating! Every year I like to think I get a little more savvy though :D

[@walkingthroughashes8982]

Love the idea of Tattle Turtle. I work with kids during the summers in a womens bible study program that offers child care. Last year we had a tattle, he kept tattling when kids wouldn't play with him.

[@maddylight8982]

I look up to you so much! Two more years of college, and I will get to be a teacher just like you:)

[@jennarink]

Loved this long vlog! It was a perfect sunday treat :) can you pleeeeease do a winter-teaching-outfit video? I love your style and would like some winter ideas :) Lots of love from Austria, Tiziana

[@erlyne0]

Cabela's is always an adventure...and a great place to escape from the cold. :o) What a wonderful holiday you had with your family! :o)

[@kaylowe3740]

Love your Vlogs So much!!!!! 💕💕💕💕💕💕

[@kaceeclaybon9686]

I see your schedule behind you. Do you guys dismiss at 2:40? My school doesn’t dismiss until 4! 😂

[@AClassroomDiva]

We dismiss at 2:55. Wow, 4! Sometimes I am home by then. What time do you start?

[@kaceeclaybon9686]

A Classroom Diva we start at 8:45! I’m so jelly! Thanks for responding!!

[@PinkOwlLover18]

So glad you posted💓💓

[@misslotje101]

I am from The Netherlands and we don’t put woorden shoes outside. We put our normal shoes with carrots by de fireplace.

[@emilyayton3213]

You are such an inspiration as a teacher! I live in New Zealand and about to start my first year as a teacher in a year one and two class (5 and 6 year olds). I hope my class will be as fun and organised as yours!!! So colourful and creative!!! #teachergoals

[@amyfeatonby4335]

Emily Ayton Hi Emily- I'm a teacher in New Zealand too- high school. Good luck for your first year!

[@emilyayton3213]

Thank you Amy!!!

[@karliesheabelieber]

You’re such an inspiration 😍 I’m majoring in elementary ed right now! What grade do you teach/what’s the favorite grade you have taught??!

[@AClassroomDiva]

Hi Karlie! Thank you for your kind words! I have taught K, 3rd, and I am currently in 2nd. My favorite is probably 2nd because they are at the perfect age - they are still "babies" and have a yearning for learning, they love their teachers, and want to do well. However, they are also starting to become more independent, which is a huge plus! :) I am so excited for you! Good luck!!!

[@LubnaAwan86]

obsessed !

[@kayleegoff141]

I am majoring in early childhood education.

[@kittyquick9325]

Great vlog! Thanks for sharing so much!

[@kindkindergarten5845]

[@breannadavis6813]

Hey do you guys have JA Biztown ?

[@jbkelley2961]

Great Post!! :)

[@iloloformaria]

Are you guys still foster parents to your student?

[@abigailryan9381]

i love your videos

[@sagehana3055]

Hi

[@someone3566]

Something i do in my class is when something is missing you take the candy so they can not do that

[@amelialeach3325]

I have a question! Did you address the group of students involved in the candy cane kidnapping or the whole class??

[@AClassroomDiva]

I addressed the group as a whole at first just to talk about honesty and integrity, but once I found out who it was for this specific issue, I addressed those students privately and individually. The last thing I want to do is embarrass a child. :) No one else had to know.

[@amelialeach3325]

A Classroom Diva okay perfect! Thank you!!

[@megslynnandrade]

Hi Jessica, if you wanting any ideas on how to help the little guy with autism, let me know, my mom works with children with autism in your grade level.

[@anicaaninon7028]

Your daughter should do violin. The more you do it the more you would like it. A benefit is ,is that classical music makes you smarter!

[@AClassroomDiva]

Anica Aninon She plays the violin! 🤗 She loves it!

[@rachelgibson7242]
