Hey everyone! In this video I take you through how I plan the first day of school. Everyone plans differently and I encourage you to always do what is best for you and your students. This is what has always worked for me and I hope you enjoy it!

[@applejuicyjuice]

Lmfao “I will look at the standard...” x5

[@702Alicia]

I thought I was tripping out😭

[@thekamixcx]

I thought I was TRIPPIN

[@mistyisntded91]

I'm not a teacher, nor do I aspire to be one. But I absolutely love your personality. It brightens my day, sooo I watch anyways. Plus I can tell that you really adore your job as much as you do your students. I would've been greatful for a teacher like you and I pray my kids have at least one like you. Keep up the good work.

[@carliclifton4063]

Once school starts you should do a great ready with me video!

[@tiamarina9770]

Could you do a night in my life after school video? Showing how you find the time to revive and relax before then next day/ prep to be prepared for the morning :)

[@Danielle-ef6ed]

i studied english at university and never wanted to go into teaching. but seeing you so optimistic makes me rethink it completely.

[@shikhavats9455]

Hello ma'am I am a student teacher . Please upload a video for time management. I'm so exhausted between my classes and my internship in an school.

[@ydye100]

Shikha Vats yes please this is going to be me this semester

[@tiffanym6071]

Would you be able to do a video on teacher outfits ideas for different seasons ^.^ Or a video on what clothing items you can’t live without

[@abbywalters7236]

I wish I would’ve had you in highschool you seem amazing!

[@woodlandcreatureteacher152]

9 seconds in....you burst into Wicked...I have to hit like!

[@fivefootoneteacher]

LOL!!! I love it so much

[@byaliciabrooke]

This is my first year teaching high school so I’ve been binge watching your HS videos. Thank you for this video going over how you plan!!!

[@2020girlygirl]

I'm not a teacher. However, I am a huge planner, so watching planning videos calms me, lol. Thanks for being a nice, bubbly person, you remind me so much of myself. Have a wonderful day :)

[@gabrielladwyer6246]

Yes yes yes! Building relationships and learning about your students is so important in ANY grade! I teach 5th grade and really enjoy this time of the year. I also really want to try the one word project with them! You are doing an amazing job, sweet girl! Your students are so lucky to have you! ❤️

[@fivefootoneteacher]

YES! You can definitely do it with your 5th graders... I would love to see that.

[@enchanted2meetyou]

Not gonna lie, I would loooove a drama inspired lessons video - sincerely a first year theatre teacher!

[@sistascientist237]

Use drama teacher academy. It's a monthly subscription but they have soooo many resources that I have used. It goes on sale to $1 every now and then. But totally worth the $39ish I think.

[@dianemgentile]

Your positivity, passion, and humor inspire me. Thank you for making the teaching community a little brighter. I hope this year exceeds every word you and your students choose.

[@fivefootoneteacher]

Thank you so, so much. Means so much to me!

[@terryomalley2089]

Started year 28 today - building relationships is #1! Good for you!!!!

[@frenkelfilms]

Absolutely love you and your videos! Your channel popped up in my recommended and you are so inspiring, funny, and you can really see your passion for teaching. ❤️

[@alexandriarussom3961]

Elphaba vibes! Love it. Thanks for posting this video! As a student teacher, I am constantly looking at works best for other teachers and I appreciate all of the good ideas!

[@kailyndunn253]

I am obsessed with you! Your passion, your love for your kids.....your Wicked references... Can’t wait to follow your year!!

[@princessdori]

You are so engaging and I see why you are a teacher. Your students are lucky to have you.

[@emilyallison4209]

You are SUCH an inspiration to me in so many ways! I'm in my third year of college studying to be a teacher and your videos and Instagram are more helpful than you can even imagine. I'm so grateful to be able to look up to other teachers like you and follow along with your journey! Thank you for everything 💕 Also your strength is soooo incredible. I love how you and your students are each other's support system!

[@angelinabonilla8318]

Love you & your Videos! Your are such an inspiration. I am currently going back to school wanting to be become a high school history teacher, and you definitely make me feel so confident about my decision. Keep being amazing!!!!

[@rebeccaince9060]

your heart seems so kind and awesome!! you’re such an incredible gal! i’m sure you’re students love you!!

[@kananiriddle8170]

I can’t tell you how helpful this video is. I’m a first year 6th grade teacher, as well as finishing my credential program so overwhelmed is an understatement. Thank you for all the helpful tips!!

[@kb9847]

Your advice about needing to have passion about what you teach so your students will too is smart!!! I've really been enjoying your channel. I think I've now watched all your videos. Have a great rest of your week!!

[@FlowerThePot]

Thank you so much for sharing your lesson planning process! I have been a little anxious about learning the ropes and your video really broke it down for me. Plus your style is beautiful! 💕

[@leahpollock8158]

You are just so adorable!! I can tell you are an awesome teacher just by these videos ! Much love 💜

[@savbryant3239]

currently a senior in high school and aspiring teacher. i'm taking a shakespeare's plays class right now and my teacher reminds me so much of you! i've only been in the class fora few weeks but its by far my favorite class i've ever taken and the class i feel like i'm learning the most in. i feel like we really know each other and i trust her with a lot of stuff about myself that i've never felt comfortable telling another adult besides my own mom. i just wanted to leave this comment to let you know that teachers like you guys really leave a lasting impression on us forever

[@destineeslaughter6419]

it’s been 4 years haha! how is it going ?

[@meybelllandaeztrujillo3923]

I’m a senior in high school, almost ready to start college, and thanks to you I’m more motivated to start my career as a Spanish Teacher. You’re not my teacher, and I already love you! Your voice is completely sweet and I feel so much better watching your videos

[@annareeves8313]

Would you be able to share what makeup you're wearing in this video? Or maybe even a makeup tutorial/a get ready with me vlog? I'm loving your makeup and outfits so much!!

[@stacydavidson4853]

Living for your eyeshadow! Palette PLEASE.

[@christinachesser5672]

I somehow stumbled across your channel and I'm literally obsessed with all of your videos!! Your bubbly personality is so contagious :) I'm actually a pediatric nurse but here I am watching all your teacher videos because I find them interesting LOL! Please don't stop making videos! Much love from Texas

[@Britt1586]

You're seriously making me want to change my major to teaching! I used to want to be a teacher, but then thought I couldn't handle it. But now, I'm homeschooling my 5 year old son and I love it! ❤️❤️❤️ I also love your energy, positivity, and love for your students! They are very blessed to have you ❤️👏

[@shannonreno6895]

You're seriously goalssss!!! Start student teaching on Tuesday! So excited!

[@LieutenantSheep]

"We love?" Adorable. What a ray of sunshine.

[@Mawizaa]

You’re great! Thank you for what you do 💕

[@kirahartbear]

i wish you were my teacher oh my goodness!!

[@longvieweccentric]

I’m a first year 9th grade English teacher and I’ve been loving your videos! Thanks for making these. I can’t wait to have everything so figured out so I can get to that next level of rapport

[@brit331]

What I would have done for a teacher like you in high school 😭 this almost brought me to tears because of how much you genuinely care about your students. It’s such a beautiful and unfortunately rare thing

[@Ali.V249]

I have just found your channel and I'm in love with your energy and positivity!!

[@ihatelotsofthings]

Thanks for the advice! I’m going to start prosem and student teaching this year so I can start practicing these strategies! Also I love your hair!

[@abbstermachine]

I would love to see a video where you start with the lesson planning then seeing it to the classroom. I know that sometimes isnt completely possible, but it would be cool to see it all come together❤️

[@woofworthit]

Your energy is infectious 😁❤️

[@glendasworld4125]

I was in school to become a pharmacist. But after taking a microbiology class in my undergrad, I realized that I didn't want that anymore and wanted to become a teacher instead. There was a TON of memorization in that class and that's how pharmacy school is going to be like. I can memorize stuff but I'm not that kind of person. I'm better off with understanding concepts than memorizing. I decided to become a teacher instead because I LOVED high school so much and what a teacher does seems fun: Lesson planning, grading papers, teaching, talking to parents. I think i would love that job. Plus, you get summer off and many other breaks. I'm going to be honest. I get nervous when I speak in front of a group of people and I'm bad at explaining. Even though I have those obstacles, I still want to become a teacher. I don't want to give up because that's such an awesome and fun job. I feel like I woudn't be nervous about me speaking to a group of people because I would be so focused on teaching the material and making sure my students understand it. And if I did feel nervous, I feel like it would go away little by little and get used to it. With explaning, I'm just hoping that I don't have self confidence and that in reality I am good at explaning. And if not, I hope I get to learn to explain well maybe...hopefully because I do really want to become a teacher for high school.

[@bab1292]

This is great! I’m going to have to try the one word assignment for myself (no students of my own yet). Please share more of your lesson plans!

[@kadijandiaye7403]

I didn’t know where to start in lesson planning. Now I do... thanks

[@carolynsheets835]

I seriously get so excited for every video! I am about to start my Elementary Education degree and it gets me SO EXCITED to see other teachers dedicating so much time and energy to really get to know and engage with their students!!!! You are such an Inspiration to me!!! Keep thriving girlie ❤️

[@fivefootoneteacher]

YAY!!! I'm so excited for you. You are going to be amazing, I can ALREADY TELL!!

[@lizzettegoyne6555]

You are so awesome, that was great!So true to get to know your students first, really sets the tone for the year. Great idea to store the questionnaire in a binder, to have to refer to the whole year. 😃 Love the sound effects!😂 Have a great school year!

[@fivefootoneteacher]

Hahahah yes!!! Thank you!

[@zdelacruz0126]

I’m not a teacher but I do homeschool my son and he’s in 3rd grade but this was super helpful! And your energy ❤️❤️ LOVE IT!

[@tiffanypacheco_]

Your planning is on point!!

[@alyssal2357]

Hi you’re so funny and energetic, we should we be friends?! Sincerely a 23 year old teacher in Miami 🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️

[@lashya697]

Alyssa Labadie I am a 23 year old teacher in CALIFORNIA :) lol

[@jolili98]

23 year old teacher in Texas!

[@aliciah9027]

Hi! I loved this video! Planning can be such a daunting task! I love that you use MLK’s I Have a Dream speech! I remember reading and analyzing it in AP English Language in high school because it uses so many rhetorical strategies! He was an amazing writer and of course an amazing man in general. I’m an Elementary teacher but love the calendar idea! I used a planning calendar during teaching but somehow forgot about it in the hubbub of my first few years of teaching.

[@lv2955]

Oh Britt, you are the most beautiful soul 💓 thank you for everything you do. Truly a gem.

[@fivefootoneteacher]

You are so so so kind. Thank YOU!!!

[@BG-ek4op]

I used your lesson plan template and tweaked it for my elementary life skills class 🤗 thank you!

[@Emily-of6lf]

Okay but like where have you been my entire life?? Yaaaas girl, you’re amazing! Thanks for sharing.

[@fivefootoneteacher]

I am here! ! !

[@allisonlahet5857]

Just found your channel and I really like your videos! I like how you said the analogy of puzzle pieces for lesson planning. That is so accurate. What do they know already? What do you want them to know next? How can you connect it to their life? How does it fit with the standard? Excellent advice and example! You seem like a great teacher

[@kellyl5349]

You're the best! Thank you!

[@hannahwilde178]

I need more videos like this!! 💕

[@jennifersidlauskas8265]

I was about to go to sleep but that changed when I saw you uploaded! I’m a first year teacher & your channel/Instagram gets me SO excited to get in the classroom! I’m going to put this video to use tomorrow while I’m lesson planning!

[@fivefootoneteacher]

Yay, Jennifer!!! I'm so excited for you. Let me know if you need anything!

[@jennifersidlauskas8265]

😻 thank you so much!

[@ChristoMoua]

You are the cutest teacher ever!!!

[@nataliemanriquez9380]

Loved it! I already purchased your about me sheets! I cannot wait to get those printed and ready to go. :)

[@fivefootoneteacher]

Yay! SO excited!

[@srividyabharadwaj8703]

Thank you this was helpful hope you will upload more on lesson plan

[@madisonhatherill6656]

Stayed up to watch this!!! Love your videos but more importantly love your positive attitude! You are the reason I am so excited to be a teacher (I have two years left in college) Love you!!!! Keep making awesome videos!

[@fivefootoneteacher]

Hi Madison!!! I am going to cry!!! I am so glad that you found a profession that is exciting you, it truly is amazing. Let me know if you ever need anything and SLEEP WELL!!!

[@madisonhatherill6656]

fivefootoneteacher oh my gosh thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️

[@emmymccarthy3618]

Hi from Guatemala! I'm a teacher too and I completely admire you ♡

[@fivefootoneteacher]

You're amazing!

[@murielortiz86]

Ummm hair tutorial, please!!

[@fivefootoneteacher]

Hahahaha OK!!!

[@annareeves8313]

Please! And a makeup tutorial! Maybe a get ready with me? Will you please share what eyeshadow you're wearing? It's beautiful!

[@lalalaura1809]

Hey, I‘m an aspiring teacher from Germany ! I know school is completely different here, so could you please do a video about American teacher-life in general ? What did you have to do to become a teacher ? Did you have to settle for a certain subject ? etc. Even though that might sound not very interesting for Americans, I think it would be fun to kinda do a teacher comparison between different countries. :)

[@hopemalpass2596]

I love seeing u on you tube

[@ihatelotsofthings]

We love!

[@fivefootoneteacher]

We l o v e ! ! !

[@chayarose4004]

i love ur channel so much

[@jennar6368]

I'm a visual learner too. I need to write things out to get them!

[@brookemarie4686]

On the first few days of school I would always get annoyed when teachers gave me “All about me” kinda stuff and didn’t really know why they did it😂 But after I started watching some of your videos I understand what being a teacher is like so much more and why you do those haha😂 I thinks it’s great how you’re trying to create a relationship with all of your students and get to know them. We need more teachers like you😫😂💞💞

[@carorocks44]

am i in school? no. but do i want to watch every school video of yours and learn how to be a good organized kid in the classroom? yes.

[@TheNicoleSapphire]

Hello!! I just recently discovered your Instagram and related to you instantly, plus you are the cutest thing ever! It’s funny because I am 5 feet tall (shorties!!) and I’m going into my senior year as an education major! You are already such an inspiration to me and I’m looking forward to continue following your journey! I really just wanted to say hey! Keep being awesome!!

[@fivefootoneteacher]

You are the sweetest ever!!! Yay for senior year!!!

[@MOSEART85]

Great video!! ☺

[@emilymccallister1644]

You are my favorite teacher on the internet! I love your passion for this profession. I have 2 more semesters until it is my turn. What year will this be for you? (P.S. Wicked is the best musical ever)

[@Hannah-kr1un]

this video is so helpful! im in 7th grade this year, but I have two options for highschool: my local highschool or a career academy where I can get a teaching degree early and for free. the application process will take all of my eighth grade year so I'm doing some research now and this is quite informative 💕

[@eleanaevans2345]

This was such an interesting and helpful video! I am hopefully going to teach second grade, so a little different than 9th grade English 😂

[@queendelaclassroom6450]

Great tips 👍🏽

[@fivefootoneteacher]

Thank you!!

[@macim.newman3067]

You should do a makeup tutorial for a school day!!

[@overajump1029]

Britt, The link for the Pinterest calendar leads to a "could not be found" page. :(

I wish I had you as a teacher in high school

[@kaitlyncochrane8526]

Where is your desk from? I can't see much of it but I love it!!

[@Bethhnicole]

Can you please do a make up tutorial because I am beyond obsessed with your eye make up!

[@shutuplorena]

GIRL. can I just say that you are my EVERYTHING goals. 😍 I’m an English ed major at UCF and I am definitely going to be a more hands-on teacher who creates interactive and engaging lesson plans, and I was wondering if you could share a little more about how you go out about getting inspiration for your lesson plans?

[@fivefootoneteacher]

Wow, you are so close!!! I will have to come visit! I can definitely do a video all about that, but it all starts with my students. I had a class that loved sports so I created a tournament based on what we were learning--just an example.

[@shutuplorena]

fivefootoneteacher I LOVE how student-centered you are!!! And yes definitely think about a video diving deeper into that. You have been such a hero to me and my ed-major gal pals, and I hope that you have an incredible school year with your kids and in your new classroom! I would actually fan girl so hard if I ever met you um BYE!!! Keep in touch gurlfrannnnn!! My email is [e-mail] :)

[@kimhallowell5406]

I haven’t even watched yet but wanted to say hi and I love you

[@fivefootoneteacher]

LOL HELLO!!! Xoxo

[@kimhallowell5406]

Now that I’ve watched.. I want to say that I love the get to know your student questionnaire! I’m starting student teaching in a couple weeks 😱 and I’m wondering if you think it would be an appropriate activity to do with my kiddos (kinder or 1st)

[@TheGoldenRiolu123]

i'm in high school right now and i want to be an art teacher in the future, but this video makes me want to lesson plan for no reason?? like i want to adapt this into a semi-serious art class

[@MissSunshineDia]

How do you build your knowledge so you’re ready to answer things ex. like what figurative language is and how to identify it? I feel so unprepared to actually teach and I just wonder how do you build your pedagogy.

[@brittanymasonescobedoms9362]

Have you done a video on your one word project? I own it- but I would love to hear more about your experience with it. Thanks for being you

[@fivefootoneteacher]

I talk about it a lot on Instagram!
