Starting Virtual Kindergarten | Schedule, Tips, Resources, Watch Me Teach | Teacher Vlog #1

[@MrsCallsCampers]

What is most helpful to see in my teacher vlogs? How long do you like them to be? Let me know what YOU like! :)

[@madisong7936]

I love plan with me’s and you just going through your day like you do!

[@molliehewitt6533]

I love your vlogs, and seeing how you are prepping day to day. Virtual learning is a new experience, and collaborating with you on different things everyone is doing is soooooo helpful!

[@jamiecamilleri5943]

I loved seeing how you used Goodnotes for your ABC readers. How did you set that up to have multiple pages you could swipe through?

[@PrimarilyYours]

@@madisong7936 I agree - I got a ton of ideas from this video!

[@Maya-ft5mx]

I loved how long it was, loved seeing everything your kids are doing, love the snippets of dinner and life outside teaching too. Keep it up!

[@abbystamper6941]

🌟I really appreciate you sharing openly about your struggles. As a teacher of littles I can totally relate. Virtual learning is so hard and no matter how much you prepare, you always feel unprepared. Let’s keep smiling and doing our best because that’s all we can do!! 🧡💚💛💜

[@lesliejacobs5988]

I really appreciate you being honest. I still haven’t started school, so it’s good to know what to expect and try to plan ahead! ⭐️

[@MrsCallsCampers]

Leslie Jacobs I think every situation will be so different but I agree hearing people's experiences is so so helpful. Thank you so much for watching!

[@oOwolfO]

I love how much effort you put into every day at school/kindergarten ! The kids are very lucky to have you as their teacher 😊

[@emilybaker6486]

⭐️ you are making a difference in my life and my children’s. Remember that when you are having hard days. You are teaching so many more kids than you even realize. 💫

[@melissav.1457]

You are SPOT ON with the frustrations!!!

[@ms.coleinfirst2467]

I could not agree more about the frustration of not being able to control their environment while online! It's so hard.

[@BonjourChristie1]

Mayleen this is such a great vlog! Can't believe you have just completed a week of distance learning and have vlogged too! Thank you :) I've had school dreams for about a fortnight now - crazy how much the nerves of going back are getting to me! Have a lovely day! :)

[@SugarSprinkles81]

omg please do more watch me teach!!! ur so amazing and your students are beyond lucky to have you as their teacher. i am a first year kindergarten teacher and we are also starting off virtually. i student taught around older kids (4th and 5th grade) so I'm not really used to being around the tiny humans lol. it's nice to see how you interact with students and the words you use!

[@AnimeAngelAzume]

I'm so happy that you finally found a teaching job!! I've been off of social media, so I don't know how long ago you announced, BUT this is AWESOME!! Your videos were my first experience watching teacher tubers and you got me hooked! I know how badly you wanted to go back to teaching so it's wonderful to see these vids come back to your page!!! ♡♡♡

[@tiffanymcdermott1743]

I love your honesty and love getting the chance to see you teach! I enjoy the longer vlogs similar to this one! Would you be willing to share your schedule outline? I like your layout and how easy & appealing it looks. Also, I looked in your Amazon store for your document camera and didn't see it. Could you give details about that? Keep up the great work & best wishes for a great school year!

[@MrsCallsCampers]

Hey! thank you! I just made my schedule in powerpoint by adding shapes and I don't think I saved the draft haha! But it should be super easy to recreate. Also thanks! Just added the link to the description! :)

[@firstgradecorner5728]

🌟🌟🌟 thank you for being honest because I’m starting virtual learning next week! I’m so nervous about behaviors/participation but just as you said, I can’t control how they are acting at home! I also really appreciate you including videos of you teaching because that gives me HOPE that I CAN do this! 💕

[@britta5922]

⭐️ girl! Preach, that’s has been my biggest struggle!

[@jasminebrown6169]

I love your videos I have a kindergartener and seeing what you do gives me hope and ideas for my little one thank you for everything you do as an educator ⭐️

[@dimpledarling55]

The "I'm talking to you buddy" hit me right in my soul haha fellow Kinder teacher, love your content!

[@MrsCallsCampers]

Gabrielle Moreno haha! I had to leave it in so you would know I have to redirect and it isn't perfect! 😭😂 thanks for watching!!

[@Maya-ft5mx]

I loved your vlog and I hope you keep documenting your days cause now I feel attached to you and your tiny humans lol

[@MrsCallsCampers]

I LOVE THIS!

[@emmagracejoens]

Yesss Heggerty is sooo good!! And you are doing absolutely AMAZING, sweet friend.

[@chattychanny5048]

I use Heggerty as a small group intervention for struggling readers in 4th grade. It has helped so much with phonemic awareness!

[@carolinabock2453]

This was SO helpful! Thank you so much for sharing! ⭐️

[@CourtneysCastle35]

Their little voices while you're teaching is the cutest things. I teach Pre-K but hope to teach K-2 once i graduate. So happy to see you happy and teaching again and YASSS to this long video on my Saturday!

[@PrimarilyYours]

LOVE!!! This was such a fun video to watch. I got a TON of ideas for teaching kinder online. Thank you! ❤️ Loved getting to "hang out" with you :)

[@carolynhaines8048]

⭐️ You are doing such a great job! Thank you for sharing your life with us.

[@sparkinglittlelights4077]

I’d love to hear more about how your PLCs go this year! We started PLCs two years ago and I feel like I really got it, see the purpose and am excited about PLCs! My team members last year were also engaged/interested in the concept and we had AMAZING PLCs! This year, I’m with 2 veteran teachers who don’t engage in PLCs and don’t really see the purpose and our other members is a brand new teacher to our school who hasn’t had PLC experience before (and I’m sure if overwhelmed by a lot of other things with being new to the school!). We had our first PLC yesterday and I felt like I was pulling teeth to get people to engage! I’d love to hear any advice you have for encouraging colleagues to get engaged and participate so I’m not doing all the work myself. Even updates about PLCs throughout the year would be amazing! Thanks and good luck this year!

[@brittneydavad3323]

This video was SO helpful. Thank you!! You are great!

[@MissHuntGoesFourth]

My teacher bestie and I had this exact same vent session yesterday!!! Teaching virtually is SO hard. :( Praying for everyone that it gets better!!!

[@sharontesi4273]

⭐ Hang in there! Loved watching you teach-- your energy was awesome! I still have vivid school dreams and I'm retired! 🤣

[@MrsCallsCampers]

Sharon Tesi AH! That made me laugh out loud :) Thank you for watching!

[@aliciaherpick642]

🌟🌟I am so glad you are vlogging, thank you. I really enjoy them, Keep the smile, your kids will settle in soon. Wishing we could HUG all these children.

[@molliehewitt6533]

Heggerty was created two years ago, and my school purchased them as well. I think it’s such a great resource!!!!! I work with Pre-K, and my kids really love doing it!

[@MrsCallsCampers]

I had no idea they were that new! I'm even more impressed now

[@lisseths21]

Im so happy for you!! I love heggerty!! It’s amazing.

[@teresaweddell8003]

⭐ I watched it all and can TOTALLY relate to everything you are going through. It is so difficult to not be able to control the environment. I had a student' s brother riding a motorized mini bike thing behind my student in their backyard, then he got off of it and was messing with him. UGH!!!! And oh, the parents who are answering for their kids!! LOL...this is not kindergarten for you mom! Hang in there, WE GOT THIS!!!

[@MrsCallsCampers]

Teresa Weddell The moms are so sweet! 😂😂😂

[@carolinebaranczyk1131]

⭐🌟🌠 I am glad my kids are young adults. I don't think we would do well in the virtual learning only environment. It takes great patience to teach the littles!!! You are an awesome teacher. 😘 I feel for everyone....Some of my favorite memories are the school year and all the excitement about every day!💟🏡

[@NissaWILL]

⭐️I loved this video. Thank you for being honest with us💜

So excited that your classroom vlogs are back!!! ⭐

[@MrsCallsCampers]

Yay! Thank you!

So excited you are teaching K now! I watch your videos all of the time.... i teach K, also. We love the “blue book”/ heggerty! It is so good!

[@upbeatcreativeteacher4850]

I missed your teaching vlogs so much! I'm glad you are back in the classroom. I will be teaching Pre-k this year and I taught 1st last year(my 1st year).

[@crystalriches]

I LOVE Heggerty!

[@RachaelLyn]

Jack Hartmann was life when I taught Kindergarten. I still use his videos from time to time in 2nd grade! ✨⭐️

[@MrsCallsCampers]

I just feel like....why WOULDN'T you 😂💛💛💛

[@simplykalimba]

I simply loved the alphabet picture cards! Where can I get a copy please ?

[@MrsCallsCampers]

[@yaricastillo9209]

Not a teacher, but when my children do remote learning it’s frustrating when other children are just playing or screaming and no one can hear 🤦🏻‍♀️⭐️💫🌟

[@katieklein7450]

I would suggest Loft for teacher clothes.❤️

[@aaronlanier]

YAAY! Happy FRI-YAY, Mayleen!! HUGS! 🥰Aaron

[@MrsCallsCampers]

Happy Friday!!!!

[@Looberbear17]

I really love your vlogs! I teach k as well and we are remote. I am sorry If you mentioned it, but where did you get the books you discussed at the beginning for shared reading? I think those would be great to use with my students. Thanks for sharing!

[@briannant]

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This is my first year teaching and I am also a kindergarten teacher. This video was so helpful for me. I am really struggling with the content so if you could go into more depth about what you use to prep or something similar to that it would be helpful. I have been feeling like I'm drowning in work.

[@jullianacosta103]

Everything is hard right now. We all get through it. If helps to know you are not alone 🌟

Where did you get that online planner!? 🤩 (you’ve got a new subscriber!) first year K teacher here. ☺️

[@rosariomartinez2328]

Hi!!! So I was wondering - the schedule you displayed, could you share that? Also, is that your whole day schedule? I noticed it went to 12:55. With the asynchronous learning, does that make a full day?

[@vanessagonzalez5834]

Where did you get your glasses from?...I am in 😍

[@MrsCallsCampers]

These are from Stanton Optical and can't be found online but my old ones are Chelsea Morgan 5004s so try those!

[@VloggingBookWorm]

Where did you get your mystery letters cards!

New subscriber! I love your vlogs and totally addicted to them! Thank you so much for sharing such lovely ideas and tips. I would love to implement the shared reading alphabet books in my class. I think they are perfect for my EY2's ! Could you please let me know from where do I get them ? Hearts from Mumbai, India, Ms Arati Shenoy

Did you have to get certified again to teach in CA?

[@missyc9385]

I believe the problem is the way public schools are attempting to do virtual learning. I would be frustrated too. Y’all were just thrown into virtual. I’ve had experience with this method and it’s just as effective. I recommend, if your schools policy allows, you pre-record yourself teaching a concept, pausing with expectations of participation. Schedule small groups live to re-enforce the most difficult concepts. Then have them work independently on a worksheet at home as a review.

[@MrsCallsCampers]

Missy C I don't want to pre-record lessons so I will continue to teach live with my kids :)

[@missyc9385]

I didn’t mean to offend you. Sorry if you took it that way. I just for sorry for teachers being thrown into virtual teaching without proper training

[@MrsCallsCampers]

Missy C you didn't offend me at all :)
