Shopping Haul & Substitute Teacher Prep

[@laurengrey599]

I LOVE that you call your kids Learners! So cute!

[@deenaandbeena]

You left an awesome Sub plan! As a substitute teacher myself I appreciate it when teachers leave detailed sub plans for me and everything is in one place rather than having me scramble around to find things.

[@kristycurl]

Your room is so cozy!

[@BridgingLiteracy]

Thank you so much!

[@roderickwoodard1415]

I love this activity!! I incorporated a similar activity with geometric shapes in a math lesson plan for school!! 😀

[@chloek3570]

So cute! I've been watching you since the beginning and am in love with your videos you truly do inspire

i have the tiny ikea containers with snap on lids and use them for dice, bingo chips, and a class set of sharpies. i've been teaching for 18 years and have had them since my first year of teaching. your vlogs always inspire me to try new things and get me excited about the work day. i teach in canada and it is so interesting to see both the differences and the similarities. have a great day. thanks for sharing your life with us. xo

Love your sub plans! I re did my book clubs using your resource and my students loved it! One said during our planning session, "Ms. C this is really fun! I can't wait to read!" Thanks for the great video and wonderful resource! I get so inspired watching!

[@BridgingLiteracy]

+Vanessa Cobarruvias yay! So glad that your kiddos like the activity! Keep me up to date on how it's working in your classroom!!! 🙌🏼

[@amandafowler1165]

So jealous about your IKEA trip! Love being able to watch your videos as I wind down for the day!

[@kaylahoggard8035]

I love all of your videos!! You are seriously my inspiration for when I become a teacher! Can you do a video on how you became a teacher? What degree you got, how your college/state testing experiences were? It would help me so much!!! Thank you!!! ❤️

[@createteachthrive5106]

I'm at home with the flu catching up on your videos and wishing I could be back at work. I love your reaction to the snow! I've dealt with it all my life and I can never get used to it.

Its A Teachers Life By Sara O Awwww.... are you feeling better? That is a bummer. Get some rest and feel better soon 😘

[@crystalxhoney]

I love love the format of your sub plans on the PowerPoint. Can you show us how you created that table? I'm having difficulty because my table is too big for one slide and I don't know how to continue the table onto a new slide. I would really appreciate it if you can help me with this. :)

[@MichelleGayscienceteacher]

Great vlog! Do you spend personal money on the things you purchased for your classroom? You are an awesome teacher that cares for the students. Bravo👏🏽

[@asiyahvanessa5914]

Inspiring. Absolutely love you. I teach ESL and I remember in one of your other videos you mentioned that you have ELL in your class. Could you do a video on how you approach teaching those types of students? Also do you have an instagram channel?

[@MyMariesol]

I teach high school students but I love your videos.

[@laurasiniski8271]

I'm sorry you had that experience with day care and your son. It breaks your heart when you feel your child is treated unfairly. Mom to mom advice on age three (been through it 3 times) spend as much time with him as you can and make sure he gets enough sleep. Sounds simple but when I'm away a lot and my kids don't get enough rest, their behavior declines. Good luck. Love your videos, ideas and energy.

[@SoyTuPrincesita92]

I'm about to commence my final semester of studies to become a teacher - your vlogs are always inspiring and reassure me that this is what I want to do

[@BridgingLiteracy]

SoyTuPrincesita92 yay 😘 that is great! Best of luck to you!!!

[@pattersonteach]

I enjoyed this video. The way you create sub plans is very complete. Nothing left out. I am thinking of doing learning plans for my students. I am just trying to see how to work it.

[@BridgingLiteracy]

J Patterson that is amazing! Love that you want to incorporate student choice while also teaching students to be independent and learning time management! It will definitely not be easy😉

[@lizzytenison8232]

this is kinda weird but your bell sounds like when you are on an airplane and you need make sure your seat belt is on.

[@adrixo9274]

how do you set boundaries between work and personal life. you seem to spend over 12hrs at work a day! wow you definitely go above and beyond. our teachers are so underappreciated.

[@BridgingLiteracy]

adri xo I work a ton. Yes. This is my passion and where I feel like I truly belong. I have days where I stretch and spend a ton of time working but I also recognize to give myself a break when needed and step back. Honestly it all depends with what is happening at school.

[@wickedsecret]

Can you put up the similes and metaphors activity on your tpt store? Love it!

[@kcm7134]

Ugh, sub plans. I avoid being absent like the plague! That's probably because I was a substitute for 2 1/2 years in two states. So, I am a little OCD about making sure I have included every minute detail. Many of my kids tend to finish assignments quickly, too, just because they pick up concepts easily. Therefore, it can be challenging to make sure I leave enough work.

[@kristiannicole2851]

Just found your teacher vlogs and I love them! I desperately need to redo my small group area as well. Where'd you purchase the white board easel?!

[@BridgingLiteracy]

Welcome! Thanks for the kind comment. Unfortunately, I have no idea where my school found the easel. I found it in the hallway, headed to storage and snatched it up!

[@kristiannicole2851]

The Lettered Classroom that's awesome! I wish I could snatch up some cool things at my school

[@shanedawsonslefteyebrow2485]

do you have any book recommended

[@lj4466]

Omg IKEA is amazing. Do teachers ever get reimbursed for classroom expenses?

[@amyraeapples]

Do you happen to remember where you purchased your easel from?

[@HelloNatalieK]

If the cups move around too much in that basket you could hot glue gun it put.

[@sarahfinn8576]

Hi Bridget! Random question. Were you in a sorority in college?

[@julianmorera4638]

Hello my dear!I´m from Argentina... I would like to know how does Small Group table work... because, what is the rest of the class doing meanwhile you're working with the SG ?? Kisses

[@BridgingLiteracy]

+Romina Romi - The other students are working individually or in partners on the skills we have covered. Expectations are set at the beginning of the year and their progress is check through individual conferences.

[@julianmorera4638]

Beautyyyy, thanks so much for the answer
