I hope you were able to relax at least a little this weekend and are feeling better. Self care seems to be the watchword(s) lately for teachers. Your weekly schedule is rather mind blowing at times. Have a fun and healthy week.

[@PocketfulofPrimary]

I'm trying to but I have a ton on my to-do list before my trip this week! It's definitely hard to balance it all but I will have plenty of self-care during my trip :)

You are amazing for doing something out of your comfort zone!! I cannot dance either. I would have thought that I as a runner would be coordinated and able to dance. Nope, not a chance. I have two left feet. Love the moments you have with your kiddos. It brings me back to when I was their age. Enjoy your trip to Amsterdam; it’s on my bucket list to visit as well as a few other European cities!!

[@PocketfulofPrimary]

Hahaha, I always said I was a runner because I lacked coordination for other sports. Thank you so much! It has been on my bucket list for a while too and I can't wait to go!

[@DianeGenge]

Watching your videos is reigniting my desire to be a teacher. I am almost done with my baking and pastry certificate (yeah, I know it's a completely different field, but it's one of my passions), so once I finish it, I may start going for my teaching degree.

[@JayLuhx]

Do you have any English language learners or students with disabilities in your classroom? If so you should totally do a video on how you help them! I teach English as a new language and I would love to hear it from an elementary school perspective since I teach high school!

[@jaxxhadesdaughter779]

I student teach 5th grade. I have a student with autism, one with a hearing impairment, a few have learning disabilities, and all most all are EOS (English as a second language). The best thing that I've seen is to have them up front, allowing modifications as needed, to talk through all assignments, and if they do poorly on multiple assignments from the same subject, to pull them and do a one-on-one teaching and see where they need help.

[@myfashionpoint]

@Luke Beckman wow that's an inspiring and life changing thing right there

[@thatdogkid2333]

@@jaxxhadesdaughter779 I have autism with a high IQ aka asburgersyndrome, but they don't use that name. Sorry but just saying I'm mad about that since I'm smarter than high functioning autism people, my IQ is 128. I, also hope your student has a good day next time you see him, tell him have a nice day, it's weird to say that a random 11 year old on YT said that but tell him to have a nice day for me!!

[@JayLuhx]

Scotti PlayZ I am a special education teacher as well and I really have no idea what you were talking about. The broad term is students with disabilities. That is what is proper and correct to say here in New York. Not my fault you don’t like that. Take it up with the state. A disability isn’t just autism. Do some research before you get mad.

I love your teacher vlogs! I miss last year when they were like an hour long of your entire year and they were really personal and “raw” (for a lack of a better word lol). Love you!

[@utfan0899]

Regan Marie same

[@PocketfulofPrimary]

I totally understand. However, with now balancing grad school, I don't have the time to produce an hour long video every single week. I would argue that they are still just as personal and raw... I'm growing as a teacher and don't experience the exact same struggles anymore. I also am choosing to keep certain things personal for confidentially purposes.

[@melanieholland129]

Hi! Not going to lie - When I saw the title of your vlog, my first thought was, “Woohoo! A chance to work with Michelle Ferre? Where do I enter this contest?” Lol! I love teaching Math in rotations! With all the pull-outs I have in the mornings, it’s the only way to go for my class. Amsterdam! How exciting! I hope you have a great time! Thanks for sharing the cute pens! That’s an awesome Valentine idea!

[@PocketfulofPrimary]

Hahaha, I wish that was a contest I could run but unfortunately that's not an option. Thank you so much... I can't wait for the trip!

[@laraemily9096]

I’m a pre-service teacher (halfway through my degree in Australia) and I’ve been binge watching your blogs for a week now. I’m in love! I’ve gotten such a different and real insight into teaching because you’re so honest. Thank you! (also definitely a nerd and have a list on my phone of different ideas I’ve gotten from your videos for my future placements and classroom in a few years!)

[@jasperinooo]

Sunday mornings are my favorite! I wake up early, since, you know, my timezone is three hours later, so I want to get to the video as soon as humanly possibly after it's posted; but as soon as I do get up, drag myself out of bed and tend to 678 needs of my hungry cat, I can finally sit down and watch the new video that you have posted, and that is truly the highlight of my weekend. On a side note: Do you normally just have normal Wednesdays let out? Just asking because where I live we have Wednesdays let out of school 1.5 hours early every week…

[@PocketfulofPrimary]

Thank you so much for watching Shea! No, we don't have an early dismissal every Wednesday. Only 1-2 times a marking period!

I love teacher vlogs even more now that their spaced out!❤️❤️

[@PocketfulofPrimary]

Thank you so much! I feel the same way... they are less repetitive!

[@thespicycatisons7892]

Ms. Feries (sorry if I spelled that wrong). Throughout the video you expressed the goal of trying to get home earlier. My mom is a teacher too and she goes to work extra early before you have to come in and she plans then. This way she can get home right when that day ends and the students are gone/on the bus. She does this so she can come home early and also because when all of the other teachers come and she is in the hallways she gets stopped a lot to talk and she gets nothing done. It’s just an idea but also I just wanna tell you how inspiring you are. You seem like that awesome teacher that every student hopes to get. Someday I wanna be an awesome teacher just like you❤️

[@emmareed1765]

[@chloe_3787]

I absolutely love your videos. Since I can remember I have wanted to be a teacher up until last year really. I'm 16 now, and the idea of spending all day teaching kids is still in the back of my mind. It's what I truly want to do. However, with recent occurrences, I don't even feel safe in school anymore as a student. I have two years left, and that might be all I can take. I cannot imagine living with that fear every. single. day for the rest of my life. Not to mention the responsibility of so many little, fragile lives in such a dangerous era. I don't know. I graduate in 2021 which means if it really comes down to the wire on a career choice, I could wait to see how things go in 2020. How do you do it? I would love to know if these are real things you worry about and how you keep going to work everyday.

[@sandrajohnson4233]

Those drawer labels are like my absolute favorite thing! I use them all the time! Another idea for storing extra papers is to use a file folder system. I label mine 1-31 (days in the month) and then papers just get placed in the day of the week that it was passed out.

[@djthereplay]

+Pocketful of Primary Michelle , I always like to put it like this . It's like a loaded suitcase . You have to unpack something out of it in order to make space to put something else in . Otherwise the suitcase will not close all the way and everything that is in it will eventually fly out . It's kind of the same thing when students are carrying other things in their heads that block them from receiving a lesson and they have to let out whatever is blocking them to make space in their head to receive whatever you are trying to teach them . It is what it is sometimes . Don't feel too frustrated . I hope that you enjoy your trip and that you are doing well . - Dwight

[@PocketfulofPrimary]

I totally agree! It is necessary at times! Thank you so much!

@@PocketfulofPrimary You're welcome Michelle . I exhibited that or the equivalent of that back when I was an autistic student in school . And really in any event when you allow your students to " unpack " what is in their heads that is blocking them from focusing you are in your own way de escalating by avoiding something worse from happening .

Just a little note: Get a keepy cup and save the environment! You are always getting a coffee or some drink in plastic cups! If you do it then some of your viewers might switch too! Every little action can make a change!

Getting coffee is usually a spontaneous decision in the morning so I am not always prepared with a refillable cup. However, I have plenty of other ways I am saving plastic (reusable containers/bags in my lunch, refillable water bottle that I carry daily, etc.)
