Fitness Routine? Advice for Teachers? | PERSONAL AND TEACHING Q&A

[@jmcdhome]

I hadnt heard of the wedding plans. Congrats to you and Billy. Wishing you many happy years together Mrs. and Mr. Emerson!

[@PocketfulofPrimary]

Thank you so much James! ❤️

[@VirtualTeachingPro]

Loved that you noted "Focusing on relationships and our students mental health is so important." So agree with you here. I've had to pull back a few of my assignments over the past year just to lower the workload for them as well all navigate online/hybrid learning. Thanks for sharing and answering everyone's questions!

[@katycarman2204]

I’m glad you posted this. It occurred to me that I haven’t seen a personal video of you in a while. Thanks for the update.

[@PocketfulofPrimary]

Thank you so much for watching Katy! ❤️

Girl, I almost had a heart attack when you said you got the room for $150 a night! I 'm so happy you got such an amazing deal!

[@adrijana4517]

Just moved from Texas to Washington state. It was our dream for many, many years. I have never been happier, I wish we did it sooner. Wherever you go it will be amazing, because you are an amazing human being. You attract what you are. Good luck !

"If it's not a heck yes, it should be a no" Michelle's out here answering the biggest of life's questions 😍 Love you and your inspiration and excitement so much!! I'm two years from finishing my education degree and I'm so excited!

[@VirtualTeachingPro]

Congrats on about to finish your education degree!!

[@kristinmorris5293]

Thanks for the update! I was a teacher for many years and always loved watching your videos, but now I'm in the engineering world and I still love them regardless!!

[@PocketfulofPrimary]

Aww, thank you for watching regardless Kristin! ❤️

[@stacywhite1280]

It's just like you to prerecord videos for us while you're in the last weeks of planning your wedding and honeymoon. So thoughtful! Thanks for sharing some good news with us when everything is so crazy right now. God bless you!

[@mrsfed.4110]

Thanks for sharing Michelle. I hope you are able to connect with your second grade teacher...wouldn’t it be wonderful for him to know how inspirational he was. I always keep in the back of my mind, my students won’t remember my specific lessons but they will remember how they felt in my class. 💕

[@loomonda18]

Wow, that last question and answer really got to me. I am a new teacher myself, and I've really struggled with learning to love it fully - and it's just funny to me because my "alternative" interest is exactly what you said: graphic design/marketing field. That is so strange that you mentioned it lol

[@alysonserenastone2917]

I don't understand why some want to make differentiation so difficult. I honestly just give different levels of articles and do choice boards. When I taught math, I had different levels of worksheets and would just hand them out just based on where the students were. You are so right about relationships. On Friday, we really didn't teach. It was the day before Halloween and our kids needed something normal. Since trick or treat was up the air, we had Halloween at the school and it completely lifted up their spirits. Not just the kids, but the staff. We needed something normal.

[@kylielewis7543]

Great advice for teachers! Thank you Michelle! ☺️

[@PocketfulofPrimary]

Thank you for watching Kylie! ❤️

[@pinktatergirl27]

I cannot wait to put your tips into action! I’m ready to be healthier and happier this year. We all deserve it. ❤️

[@slbyrd100]

Congratulations on your wedding. I am so happy for you and Billy. Love your videos. I am a Special Education Paraeducator. I love my job. I have thought of going back to school to become a teacher, but iam happy with where I am at for now.

[@TheChroniclesofTeacherTay]

Aaaaand I am NOW reinspired to go to the gym (as I stop making a list of reasons not to go 😂). Hope you had a wonderful trip! Loved seeing the pictures 🤗

[@PocketfulofPrimary]

Aww thank you so much! We all need that reinspiration from time to time! 🥰

[@drurogers7014]

Hello ms ferre its your student from last year before this crazy stuff going around I miss you alot but 5th grade is fun but not fun then talking to you love are stunde

[@uzairkhan1789]

I ve started watching your videos. I am also a teacher and i also workout(still beginner). I realize from your video that there is more to life than teaching. I ve liked teaching because it involves interacting with the kids. Also, i can have good life on my own.

[@VirtualTeachingPro]

Yes indeed! Often we teachers get so caught up in our work and student success that we forget about taking care of ourselves and living life to the fullest. Wishing you the best!

[@Factsforkids]

Totally agree with purchasing a document camera. I actually used it before the pandemic happened in class and I loved it but using it while remote learning is a game changer. So even when we go to back teaching in class it will still be something you will use so it will be worth the investment.

[@amandawilkins8403]

Michelle, thank you for a fantastic video, as usual! I hope you and Billy had a wonderful wedding and I wish you a lifetime of joy! Also, I want to thank you for sharing your realistic opinions and ideas for virtual learning. My district is doing virtual learning with a phased-in hybrid model starting in second quarter. As a third grade teacher, I will be returning in-person with half my class with me and half on Zoom starting in January. I appreciate your videos on this channel and the Teaching to the TOP podcast from you and Bridget. You both have encouraged me and helped me consider new options to improve my teaching craft. Furthermore, you have reminded us all that the relationships we forge with our students are paramount, especially at this time. Please know how much you are appreciated! 😊

[@raymundofantastico]

Congrats to you and Billy on the marriage! May Almighty God continue to bless you both.

[@kelseybreesmith3761]

Thank you for your content! I love waking up on Sunday and seeing you. I am in Oregon and currently 100% virtual for my 4th graders. Have a great week!

[@roderickwoodard1415]

Congratulations to you and Billy! May God bless your marriage in a mighty way!!! 😀😀😀. Thank you for your consistent inspiration!! By the way, I have binge listened (if that’s a thing lol) EVERY episode of Teaching to the T.O.P. and I have learned so much for yours and Bridget’s advice! 😀. I love y’alls “Tough Love” moments. It gives me so much more confidence to be productive, organized, and use time management! 😀

[@frenchwithmadameg1116]

I love your videos so much. They are what keep me going through this crazy time! Can you make a health and fitness vlog? I loved your vlogs when you were training for the marathon.

[@AnaEstherTeacher]

You are a source of inspiration for all teachers! Thanks!

[@ivetteaparicio-velasquez3321]

Come to Dallas, Texas!! I'm a teacher and a realtor. I will be more than happy to help you find your dream home!!

Savannah, Tennessee is a great place to live. I moved here from Sacramento, California 20 years ago.

[@jacquelynnjones1372]

I just moved to Elk Grove! Tennessee is a sweet place. I am sure the people are very different. We moved from Oklahoma to California which is a huge change. 🙂

[@russellpalatiere8852]

Love this Q and A. Your fitness ideas are going to help me out. I need to be better about tracking my macros. I already meal plan, but I’m going to take a deeper look into what I eat! I’m already planning my 2021 running race calendar and right now I am periodically running but focusing on full body workouts without safe access to a gym! Your teaching ideas especially about SEL and mental health will help me in my tutoring as well!,

I agree with building relationships with your students as the most important aspect in teaching in 2020. I stan you for that. ❤️ Thanks for this video. I would like go know how you group students during Google Meet conferences. I am having trouble with that but still want to see my students collaborate and communicate with each other. Note: Our school's using a free Google Meet so we don't have the breakout feature.

Do you use a specific app/program to track your macros? What protein powder do you use?

Be careful which state you move to (assuming you're still going to teach) since you are currently in a union-friendly state. Some of the states are not teacher friendly (no protections such as collective bargaining.)

[@laurencelussierlocas]

I’m sorry you have fallen into the eating disorder path. Limiting your calories and counting macros is not the way life should be. I hope you will realize soon that this is not sustainable in the long term and you probably are hungry all day long because you are restricting carbs. Please don’t do that to your body.

[@PocketfulofPrimary]

Creating a calorie deficit in order to reduce body fat is in no way an eating disorder. Plus, counting macros is a great way to ensure your diet is balanced. Trust me, I’m not hungry on a daily basis 😂
