Post Observation Happiness | Teacher Evolution Ep 20

[@chelseyzeller6543]

"That makes my Teacher heart happy" ❤ I would definitely buy a t-shirt with that phrase on it!

[@seidimeow]

I'm very attached to the squeaky sound your door makes right before you write the date but I have no idea how you'd put that on a shirt

[@aspiringfawn]

seidimeow i relate to this comment on a deep level

[@seidimeow]

GLAD I'M NOT ALONE 🙌

[@omgbrittanyy]

YES, SAME.

[@evsday]

me too!

[@lewism1847]

im the exact same

[@gooberfergie]

A t-shirt with your usual Dunkin order; iced coffee with the french vanilla swirl and cream.

[@katlynvaldes8639]

Courtney Esarey Or a coffee mug!

[@aliciacotanda9066]

Thanks a lot for all your ideas! I’ve been teaching in Spain for almost 23 years and I’m still learning ... and since I discovered your channel I’m learning a lot from you. You are awesome!

[@michellesherman8947]

I like how transparent you are.

[@janinechansons]

Just to let you know that I recently used your conference reports and they were perfect! The conferences ran smoothly and I was prepared to explain each student's strengths/weaknesses, goals, etc. confidently and quickly. Thx, Michelle!

[@janinechansons]

MB Yeah, you're right, the word "weakness" is not PC. I didn't modify anything on the template. I didn't think to change it. I was so happy to find something so nicely organized and usable. I found it just in time for fall conferences! Funnily enough, I purposely chose not to say the word "weakness" during the conferences. I should have changed it on my form, though. Will definitely do that for next time.

[@Destinylovesvids]

Mai A n

[@annawaite841]

You should make a Pocketful of Primary LANYARD's!!!!!

[@alaynatamura5394]

Anna Waite YEEEAAAHHHH

[@gabriellemcglynn8810]

Yes!! Please

[@argisellek9249]

That would be cool!

[@fridaywithfibber7316]

Can you make a "Good Morning KZbin!" Mug??? Or shirt?

[@laurenh825]

Friday With Fibber or a, "However..." one

[@spaceysno1girl-youtuber]

Definitely a mug, so we can sit down to watch with a cup of tea or coffee, i often start my day with a video xx

[@simplicityyy21]

Or “at the end of the day...”

[@taylornolan2265]

Friday With Fibber or a “Hot mess”

[@kaliraine3844]

omg yess that would be awesome

[@emilychaney4918]

You are such an inspiration! I just got a full time job as a Fourth Grade teacher and watching your vlogs have helped me so much...especially your classroom tour ❤️ I love your tips and organization! Plus, the Amazon clicker is the best purchase I have ever made! So glad your observation went well!

[@PSWEducationLeadership]

I hope all of you hard working teachers are looking forward to the holidays. Merry Christmas!! ...and get some rest...

[@songplaylists6197]

You should make merchandise that says “send help or coffee.”

[@ThatGirlWithTheCoffee]

Or both

[@chloebowers312]

Phrase "medium iced coffee with the French venilla swirl and cream please"

[@carolregister6430]

Trust me, we understand. This past week at my preschool was stressful with a new kid who has behavior issues. On top of stress at home. Prayed for Friday to hurry up and come.

[@ASHLEYx784]

Your videos are amazing. I'm actually about to start student teaching next month, third grade. I'm so excited for this next step in my soon to be career!

[@mckennahoughton6337]

ashley knutsen good luck!! I start 2nd grade student teaching next month too!😄

[@mirandaaffleck9025]

ashley knutsen I’m starting student teaching next month too! Second grade!

[@gillb6366]

I had an observation around the same time as you. I hadn't heard of Classroom Screen before and discovered it through your videos. I used it in my observation and the other teachers loved it! Now they're all using it. Thanks Michelle!

[@taylormm97]

“Holy guacamole!” Or “I’m a hot mess” on t shirts 😂👕

[@laurenbell4877]

I can’t believe Dunkin Donuts hasn’t fixed that sign yet haha

[@dancingdiva90950]

Lauren Bell I was gonna say the same thing!

[@sunshine713727]

I could see you having a planner or shirt that says something related to productivity. The first thing I thought of was, “ productivity is my superpower.” ☺️ Happy that your observation lesson went well!

[@vero7852]

Yes Michelle you are so right we are all human!!! Take a deep Every now and then and then think of all the positive and great things in your life and hopefully that will make you feel so much better when you’re feeling down. I hope all is well!

[@BlackRoze29]

If you need your anchor chart laminated still, OfficeMax or Office Depot should be able to do it as long as one side is less than 24 inches long. It'd be by the square foot, but lamination is about 50% percent off right now....I think. I took the weekend off because I'm hitting that end of the semester stress and my second job just needed to not be a thing this week. To clarify, sales change on Sundays. This week might be completely different with sales.

[@baleighmarquez5527]

BlackRoze29 they also offer teacher discounts and the discount are large

[@BlackRoze29]

Malissia Frye Not at OfficeMax. Teacher discounts are only during back to school. (I work there on weekends and I teach. I have this conversation a lot.) Teachers can sign up for a teacher rewards card but that's basically the same as anyone else's. Just coupons are a little different. If you want a discount, you need your school district to sign up for contract pricing through Office Depots corporate office.

[@AndreaSnow21]

Love that your observation went well. Sorry that life happened at the end of the week, but thank you for keeping it real because as we all know, LIFE HAPPENS! Chin up, sister, and I hope it gets better!!

[@elizastevens8313]

Hey Michelle, I live in Australia and I am 13. Today I had my first Reese’s and it was amazing. I was like where have you been all my life

[@jessicab3528]

do you ever use your keurig?

[@fun_in_fifth]

It’s an older saying but “suck it up and get it done!”

[@kristinmorris5293]

I love how u keep it REAL! 😊

[@ansleyayers785]

Omg whenever I’m having a hard day I watch you and you make me feel so much better! You are awesome! I wish you were my teacher

[@tatyanarodriguez8448]

your a wonderful and always happy teacher when i grow up i want to be just like you Ms.Ferre

[@rebekahbaker7877]

Your comment about giving quizzes is so accurate! I always feel so good on quiz and tests day until I realize I need to grade everything...so is the teacher life! :)

[@communicationforlife4990]

Glad the observation went well! I think small pins that people could put on their lanyard would be a fun item to sell.

[@SuperClover12]

Post observation happiness is definitely a thing! Especially student teaching observations which I am officially done with!

[@violetoverman]

Last Monday, I was like “Oh Michele had her observation today!” Yeah I watch a lot of KZbin😂😂

[@henryprokop9170]

Maybe something like a teacher bag with "that makes my teacher heart happy". Or any of you catch phrases. You are an amazing teacher and look so forward to your videos. I understand the stress of conferences and the happiness when its over.

[@meaghanam1]

I never get my planning time. Example: last week... Monday: meeting with admin Tuesday: the guidance teacher was not at school (no sub) Wednesday: meeting with instructional coach Thursday: art teacher was not at school (no sub) Friday: I FINALLY GOT MY PLANNING! We have 2-3 meetings every week. I am not in a union state so they are allowed to take our planning for meetings if they want to. We are never able to get subs because it’s such a rough school. If the specials teachers get subs they usually pull them for a classroom teacher who is out. I end up going to my classroom everyday at 6:45 when I don’t have to be there until 7:30. This is one of the many reasons that I am looking for a new job mid year.

[@ginagreen2237]

as a special education teacher , I do not even have a planning period. My planning happens after school and at home.

[@callie4738]

Yeah that was me in NC it was miserable :(

[@meaghanam1]

Callie I currently work in NC. It’s mainly because it is not a union state so the admin can pretty much do whatever they want.

[@txgirl05]

Meaghanm1 that happened to me as well when I was in a “rougher” district. What I hated the most was when they would split classes up and send them to my classroom. It was the worst!

[@callie4738]

It’s the worst!! I feel ya :( I left & went back to FL! 30 mins of planning during the day and then 1 hour after school. It’s great.

[@cheyennemockobee6854]

I would love to see a pocketful of primary paperweight

[@blackberry44100]

My observation is on Tuesday and this really helped calm my nerves and I’m looking forward to that post-observation happiness and TREATING MYSELF!

[@marinagonzalez5578]

You are just human and things in life are not perfect, I wish they were. Life just happens and there’s no control over that. I love your positive attitude, continue being you and improving yourself god bless.

[@rhondat5921]

I was feeling guilty about my current McDonalds Carmel Macchiato obsession each morning before work!!! Seeing you stop at Dunkin Donuts everyday makes me feel better. 😊

[@bxdarkangel1]

I would love to see you have water bottles with your logo!

[@OliviaR619]

I’m glad your observation went well! I was honestly so anxious waiting for this video to see how it went hahaha

[@AlliRinna]

I am so glad I stumbled across your channel! I just found out I was accepted into a masters in teaching program, so I’ve been binge watching all of your weekly vlogs!

[@bpteacher5593]

If you take your anchor chart and fold it in half you can run it through the laminator. Then unfold it, half will be laminated, you could do the same to the other side. However, I'm not big on laminating them, because sometimes the light hits it and it can be hard to see.

[@nicholasknowles7036]

I am so glad I watched your video today. I use powerpoints too. I have been fighting with my smart board for the last two years. I had never thought about the presentation clicker as my computer is connected from the back of the room. I can not believe how cheap they where. I just ordered on. So glad I watched your video.

[@Shawna_Bonana]

I would love a “discombobulations!” Coffee mug! I have my BS in English ed, but I decided to take another route career-wise (insurance, funny enough!) but I love watching your videos! High school classrooms never seemed quite as fun as elementary and primary! I don’t know if the teachers I had weren’t feeling it, couldn’t, or what, but I miss the fun and excitement of an elementary classroom! If I could do college over again, I would get my degree in elementary ed.

[@micheleherbert4231]

❤️ So glad your observation went well. I knew it would. Michelle, whatever's going on in your personal life, I hope things get better. We luv you!!😘

[@fauxbrit]

You can do it Michelle! Keep on keeping on! PS I can't tell you how much I love your channel.

[@Tejadajessenia]

U are a super star teacher🤗😙🤗😙🤗😙🤗😙

[@gcavazos1000]

ok...couple of pfp tshirt ideas..."WELCOME TO MY LIIFE" and "HOWEVER" :) love you!

[@pamsteckman698]

Awwww so sorry you have stress going on but I totally get it.... when I have that kind of stress, I find it sooo hard to shut it off in my brain while at work but I am definitely getting better at it! Sending hugs!!! Enjoy this cold Sunday (at least it is cold in FL!).

[@Nolfavrel18]

It´s so fun to see how different school is in your country! As I was in school we always had notebooks for practice questions and just copied the exercises into it :)

[@ceciliamurphy5695]

Just an idea! A shirt that is a baseball t-shirt that has a white middle and red sleeves, then have a pocket (maybe?) that has your logo on it!

[@penguinpc]

I love Stranger Things! It's totally the time period I grew up in, just minus the Mad Doctor and the Demogorgons. :)

[@bhopeful8275]

I noticed the same person takes your coffee order each morning

[@riggamorris9182]

Congrats on 50k and a successful observation!

[@AlyssaReneeLIVE]

My favorite part of the week is when Michelle uploads! So glad to hear about how well you did on your observation and congratulations on 50K on Instagram! 😄 Also for merchandise ideas, I personally love sweaters/t-shirts! I think they'd be awesome with your logo or with quotes from you like you mentioned! Such a great idea! Love you Michelle and hope you have an awesome upcoming week!

[@MollyJacobs]

Could you make a bag with your Dunkin’ Donuts order or your logo?

[@lunaeliza4332]

On your merch you could have have a sloth eating the apple on top of the books of your logo also you could put a sloth mug wearing a t-shirt saying Story of My Life

[@spaceysno1girl-youtuber]

Another great vlog, I know this is none of my business but being with a partner myself who has had to put work first as he was a business owner, and being the person on the outside, we got to spend more time together despite this by him including me in some of his work, so maybe have Billy help you with making resources or in filming in some way. By my now husband including me and getting me to do stuff for him and with him we got to spend more time together and I had a better understanding of what he did. It wasnt the complete solution, but I know that when you have a super busy partner it can be quite frustrating to feel scheduled. I also found ways to insert myself into his time and creating a routine of certain things we had to do daily - such as a text when you have a spare moment, a phone call at a certain time (as he worked very late). I am not telling you in any way what to do but just hoping a little advice might help you out as I know being in a new job with a new grade is a lot, but come next year things will be so much better for you and its hard for your other half, but you just have to learn how to enjoy the snatched moments you have when you can. My husband no longer has his own business and now its me training to be a teacher who is so busy, but he helps me make resources so is involved and its lovely working together like that, he gets an understanding for what i do that way just like i did with him. Anyway, super waffly comment, so me, but loved the vlog and loved your christmas lights xx

[@Socute4u]

I always enjoy your vlogs, even when life gives you ups and downs, love that you still try to stay positive and smile even through rough times, sending good thoughts and prayers to you and Billy.

[@joyreno8655]

Could you do a vlog about your grade book? Glad your observation went well! Love your vlog!!

[@xtineg780]

Hang in there Michelle! We love you!

[@miaraissa468]

Can you make a “however “ sweatshirt with the pocketful of primary logo

[@taylorannh24]

Hey Michelle! You are such an inspiration to me. I graduate in May and actually just passed my Praxis II test! One thing I super struggle with is differentiating in a whole-group lesson setting. Do you have any ideas or suggestions? Anyone welcome to answer!

[@thesouthernschoolbelle607]

Miss Taylor you can use your questioning to differentiate in a whole group. I’m a new teacher, but have a wide range of learners in my class this year. You can also give students different tasks for example if you are teaching characters, setting, plot.. give a student who struggles the option to give you a character while you may ask someone else to give you 3. Whole group is hard, but most of my days I use small groups and only do whole groups to give our instruction or start my lessons. You can also pair kids based on ability during a large group lesson. That will help your lower babies feel successful and become exposed to different ways a thinking. I don’t know if this makes any sense lol, but good luck with student teaching!

[@ninadonnelly9703]

Bags for teachers to bring to school with logo

[@joebagiackas7198]

Thank you for these fantastic videos! so helpful to watch as a new teacher.

[@melissasimons34]

Work life balance is SO important!

[@rebeccadurden4281]

I seriously can’t watch your videos anymore! Every time you treat yourself, I’m like, “...Go to Target, treat yoself” 😆 love your videos so much!

[@utfan0899]

We got tons of snow in GA. We had early release on Friday and no school Monday bc of it. Also I agree with lanyards!!

[@rashidapatel9940]

Your handwriting is amazing!!

[@mackenzieb2218]

mugs!! i would looooveee to gift my teacher friends one of your mugs!

[@twinlee7614]

My mom died but you make me strong

[@taylorkittycatmeow9812]

i am in the original 451 chorus so i suggest having chorus and other music practices in the morning

[@amandatownsend8830]

Cracks me up how your window is frosted over, yet you're wearing a jean jacket and not at all shivering!!! Lol! Us Texans can't handle that cold weather life 😉 Love your vlogs!!!

[@Misscoolfinds]

Glad your observation went well. Take some time for you now. Hopefully you can find away to let not let he stress get to you. I know when i am stressed that i will either go read a book or listen to some relaxing music, which most of the time helps me.

[@rosecarden1800]

"This is what teaching is all about!"

[@phenakeil902]

Stickers with your favorite sayings.

[@sherichazdon2573]

Yes a t-shirt with a sloth that says "welcome to my life!" Hang in there Michelle...we. ❤️ you!

[@missshelby1147]

Phone case and pop socket

[@avholland]

Please please could you tell me where you got the clip art for you’re daily schedule from? The circle ones ?

[@terridavenport5243]

Hi Michelle! I'm sure that you did awesome with your observation...that is you "awesome!" Do you have any teacher tips on passing the math portion of Praxis I?

[@lindsaycannon6855]

I love your lanyard! Where did you get it from?

[@lizabrown8478]

What is the font you used for the words "conference report?" It is a great font!

[@chompchomp94]

Can you please show what each of your storage containers have.

[@melissakerr9568]

thanks god you uploaded

[@lannahh2076]

post observation feelings: euphoria, exhaustion, emotional wreck, easily tired. Free until the next time! I always feel like a ton of monkeys are off my back. then i am totally exhausted and sleep very well that first night afterwards. i want to buy myself something for not falling apart and/or eating something that i normally don't allow myself to have!

[@harrypotterlover5728]

The lights are flickering………Aahhhh. Its the demagorgan!

[@janet03]

Cases, shirts, like long socks, pens/pencils, stickers, notebooks, pop sockets, teacher bags, backpacks, jackets/hoodies, small blankets, bracelets, necklaces, hope thats enough suggestions😂😂😂

[@PencilsandMagicWands]

Really happy your observation went well and not surprised. You are amazing. Sending positive thoughts your way. I know how stressful life can be in general without adding to the fact that we are teachers. My stress now has me grinding my teeth at night to the point that I fractured a tooth. Ouch! But we are resilient and push through it anyway. Have a beautiful day!

[@nenya2010]

Hi Michelle. I always look forward to your up-loads. I have to confess I almost stopped watching when I first discovered your channel because you were just so intense and eager. Thankfully I have persevered and now am really looking forward to your videos every week. About the merch - I would love lanyards with your logo, clipboards with dots and your logo and even a planner, you would know exactly what a teacher needs to have in them. I can also picture a hoodie and/or t-shirts with ' my desk is a hot mess' message on them. Keep up you excelent work, I hope you and Billy are OK again and I'm looking forward to all the extra videos.

[@courtneyc142]

You are amazing!

[@mschneid721]

I like your teacher bag. Can you send a link to where your purchased it

[@janetdawson9392]

Happy holidays! I am so excited about the 12 days of Christmas. I am a year away from my teaching career and would love that printer. Nice sweater

[@theresaolszewski5951]

Hoodies 😍😍🙌🏼 Michigan weather is always cold!!!

[@lynnettebosman8384]

Good thinking with the batteries! #properpriorplanningpreventspoorperformance

[@brendaramirez8073]

You should've placed the Xmas lights above your alphabet cards!! ❤Stranger Things❤

[@ajo52]

You should invest in a Frost Guard for your windshield. Works amazing!

[@mlmj1994]

Common denominator can be tricky at first, but with practice they’ll get better. They’ll do it a lot in 5th grade anyways.

[@theteacherreader]

Congrats on your observation! I hope all is well, or gets better. Tomorrow is a new day!

[@mercedeshuerta8666]

I teach bilingual 4th grade, tomorrow is my preconference and, starting Wednesday, I have a one week window for my formal. I can be anytime during that week. That week is our 3rd six weeks testing week and of course if right before Christmas break which means that students are not precisely on their best behavior. Let's see how it goes. BTW this is my 11th year teaching and never had a bad evaluation, but still stressful.

[@EverydayDeanda]

I also rip off the chart paper and press on the front or back of the pad. 💗 the tip about using pencil first to make sure it’s just right. I don’t know how many times I’ve had to start all over after making a mistake.

[@katiegeisz3743]

Make notebooks/binders, or lanyards. Also, for a mug or t-shirt: "Sooooo... I'm gonna go get some coffee..."
