LESSONS LEARNED IN 2022 | time to get real with y’all!!

[@alysonstokes1295]

So happy that you’re sharing about the importance of your personal time being YOURS! I believe the best thing all teachers can learn is to give teaching your all during your contract hours, then let it go! You will be a much happier person and a better teacher for it! Thank you for speaking about this! So many teachers need to hear it! ❤

Thanks Alyson! It is so true and yet so so difficult!!

Well Katie, Without saying everything I want to say let me put it like this. If you are ever teaching at a school that does not support your injection of fun into education or empathy and sympathy for your students then it's really your school's problem, not yours and I am proud of you for leaving your school that doesn't support you with their problem and you are teaching at a school that does support you. Also, as long as you use your beliefs to be kind to people and do what you know is right for your life you will be ok. Keep being that pretty looking resourceful teacher who is trying to add fun into education. - Dwight

My principal unexpectedly bumped me up to fourth grade this year (I escaped an old toxic school six years ago and spent the previous five years in third grade). After the switch to a much better, kinder, more supportive, less judgmental team of teachers, my spirit has been so renewed and I’m enjoying school again. I was scared of the change at first, but now wish I had done it sooner! The change has been the best thing ❤

[@mrs_katie_in_elementary]

It's crazy how change can be so difficult yet so rewarding all at once!!

[@terrywright4112]

OMG! That's a great quote to have for the year!! Can I steal it from you?😂

[@breannawisneski3078]

My mom and I made the soup this weekend! It’s so good and I have plenty for lunches this week!!

[@mrs_katie_in_elementary]

It’s so good! Glad you tried it!!

[@GoldenStateEducate]

Such a heartwarming and cozy video Katie! Loved hearing all your highlights 💛 Definitely will be making that soup recipe!

[@mrs_katie_in_elementary]

Glad you said that cause I totally forgot to link it! It’s in the description now! 😂😋

I just love this video! I love how opened you are becoming. I know in your first year of vlogging you said how much you enjoy editing footage, and you were just so happy and loving your life and it reflected as I watched. I can’t imagine, even though you enjoy vlogging, that its east being open about your rough times but it’s so nice to hear as someone who is watching you and struggling with some of the same things, it makes me feel like I’m not so crazy 🤪😂 I think you were always meant to be a teacher, but I don’t think we are all meant to blossom in the same soil or 365 days a year. I saw on another moms IG page that said even flowers weren’t created to blossom every day. God gave us rest for a reason as well as seasons and plants us in certain places at certain times for reasons as well and His timing is ALWAYS perfect! I also love the quote you shared about having a relationship with Jesus first and working your way down. You inspire me so much as a homeschool mama and when you’re in your element, your like a breath of fresh air to watch and learn from. I also love how your opening up more about your faith as that isn’t easy. I was wondering though, would you be able to share how you organize your house as well as your day. I find how organized, motivated and colorful you are very fascinating. 😊Something I love about your videos is your morning routine. I used to be so productive before I became a mom. I had so much energy in the morning and now I just lack it and I’m trying to get back into managing my time and day better. I’m trying so hard to drink a big cup of water before my morning coffee and I’m failing daily😆 but I watch you and it’s helping motivate me.

[@sheenabruce450]

Love your quotes!!!!

[@mrs_katie_in_elementary]

Thanks Sheena! I am so glad I stumbled upon them hahaha

The Fierce Marriage Podcast/KZbin page is my favorite marriage one! Christian based.

[@mrs_katie_in_elementary]

I will have to check that one out! Thanks for the recommendation!

[@nuviamar1]

Am so happy fpr ypu. The biggest lesson I learn 💯 😌 in 2022 is to accept that is FINE not to be as productive as I were and concentrate on my health first, GOD will help me with everything else. For 2023 , I didn't make goals . Am not sure what they are yet, that is okay!

[@mrs_katie_in_elementary]

That's so great Nuvia!! ❤️

[@lifewithmrsleet3708]

I am here for the claw clips 👏 Also I totally agree with your school takeaway that sometimes a change is necessary. My first year of teaching was TOUGH and not just because all first years are. I changed schools after my first year and have been at that same school since and so much happier! Do you have any tips with staying in touch with friends? I am THE worst at keeping in touch with friends 😅

[@mrs_katie_in_elementary]

Claw Clip Club 4 Life!! Love hearing your perspective and thank a change was helpful for you too!! I've been trying to keep in touch by FaceTiming a friend who doesn't live close once a week! Also my husband and I have enjoyed hosting friends and cooking dinners for people lately!
