The Most Productive Week Ever | Pocketful of Primary Teacher Vlog

[@renascencern]

Yes at the being shy in public but a silly goose with your students. That’s exactly me and why I love my grade level (preschool). It allows me to be silly and goofy and make mistakes without judgement and they love it. I love that sooo much!

[@mel_on06]

Am the only that is like 12 years old and watching teacher videos? Am I the only one? But I love you so much because you inspire me to be a teacher. So may be I am the only one! 🤣

[@rheakeyzer3507]

I’m 12 and I’m obsessed!

[@heyitsabbie1616]

I’m 12 and I love her videos x

[@parkerparsneau5900]

I’m 12 too don’t worry 😂

[@NoNo-mv2my]

I’m 12 And I sooo wanna be a teacher I love these videos!!!

[@hannahalyssa2596]

Weird Squad i’m 12😋

[@luiscolon9449]

Love the brows!!!!!!! Makes a huge difference. You’re pretty either way though:-)

[@faithcote9331]

I just finished student teaching and have my first interview this week!! Prayers and well wishes appreciated :) love your videos!!

[@dm-audioswaps9945]

Faith Cote it is now a year later, how was your first year teaching?

[@faithcote9331]

I teach Kindergarten at my top choice school! It’s been so so hard but so so sweet. The kids are amazing!

[@hhurst21]

Hi Michelle! I am a senior studying early childhood education, and I have been watching your channel since the beginning! I thoroughly enjoy seeing your honest classroom experience, and it is so nice to know all of the sides of teaching instead of the best or the absolute worst. Although I will be teaching younger students, your videos have given me many ideas and inspiration for the classroom I will have in just over a year. Thank you so much for being who you are and sharing all that you do! I smile every weekend when you upload! 😊

[@emanuellearismendez2270]

I am officially caught up. Found your channel in March and went back and watched all of your videos. :) Your such an inspiration to this Alternative Certification soon-to-be teacher from Texas. Your resume product and interview prep, along with ideas I've gotten from your channel helped me land my 1st tecahing job! I'll be a 3rd grade ELA and SS teacher in the FAll. Thank You.

[@curzettaaustin71]

Hello Michelle, I just got hired for my first teaching job! I will be teaching 4th grade ELA and I am so excited! I watch your videos every week and you are such an inspiration to me. I appreciate you so much and keep doing what you are doing. :)

[@CRASSHx]

Curzetta Austin congratulations!

[@theemoflife6232]

Congratulations on getting hired, I wish you the best of luck.

[@deetee8100]

I ❤️ 4th grade!

[@Everythingandmore101]

Curzetta Austin Congratulations on your new job!

[@fromericaa]

Your eyebrows look amazing! If it makes you feel better and more confident - you do you girl! Would love to hear your honest opinion about the entire process and what to expect. :)

[@TheHannahJ1994]

Your microblading looks fabulous! I'm thinking about getting it myself!

[@mckenzieshawcroft1470]

The shape is so flattering!

[@So_Harufied]

I like the real sense of community that they foster at your school. It's refreshing to see.

[@PencilsandMagicWands]

Hi Michelle! I really loved the Hands-on Equation Activity. Such a great way to have students work on and manipulate equations and you’re right, we can easily do it with our own materials. Really neat! I can imagine your interpretive dancing while reading the science textbook. You are so right, the spontaneous things we do while teaching are the most engaging. Students will remember that. I keep being reminder that we teachers are also performers. It’s also a lot of fun! Your eyebrows looks great! They really frame your face nicely. I hope you have a great day!

[@mirandalyle3897]

Love the videos, I have PowerSchool at work too! When you create a new assignment you can click on the classes button (at the top) and select multiple classes and it automatically creates the assignment in all of the classes you selected.

[@reneecoops]

I enjoyed this video. I love when you show your prep work! Thanks for being so positive!

[@mcnabsn]

Dang it! Making me crave Chick-fil-A on a Sunday! 😩😂

[@positiveminds8139]

Manda_MWM Chic Fil A is not open on Sunday!,

[@mcnabsn]

Positive Minds Hence the reason I was whining. Lol.

[@positiveminds8139]

Manda_MWM Laugh Out Loud 😂

[@katelynlacroix2092]

I'm in 4th grade And your the best teacher. You inspire me for teaching

[@BrysonSouthard]

I always look forward to your videos. I’m currently studying to become a special education teacher and watching videos like yours makes me so excited to get into my own classroom!

[@neilh184]

8:26 Laminating pouches!! That parent gets it.

[@LarkinSummerlin]

We use power teacher gradebook, as well. When you create a new assignment it will say "select classes" and then you can check multiple classes. So now you don't even have to copy and paste! I use this all the time because my gifted kids are in their own class on power teacher for each subject! :)

[@kristenpratt89]

My district has science kits that all teachers can request and use (so awesome!) and we have a similar activity -- but for ours it is sand and clay and you form the sand and clay as a plateau at one end of the tub, slant the tub so the mixture end is higher than the empty end, and then have a small hole to let the water drain out of the empty end. As water enters the tub, it will carry the mixture down and form streams, alluvial fans, and deltas. Instead of using a spray bottle, the students position cups above the plateau end (our rested on a paint stick that was balanced and taped above) and pour water into the cups. The cups have a hole or holes in the bottom to simulate rain. Small holes simulate drizzle and big holes simulate heavier rain. When we did it the students were able to see the outcome of what alluvial fans and deltas looked like. After describing them, the teacher then explains that those features have names -- and that's when you get into the vocabulary aspect of the lesson.

[@emmariley4214]

You are the biggest inspiration to everybody! You are so helpful for me and every other teacher. Your my favorite youtuber and you make amazing videos. Thank you!😃

[@mr.kylecohen]

Last week did not feel right without watching your video!! I also need to say that you have been such an inspiration.. I'm about to embark on my first year of teaching and your videos have inspired me to start my own channel to document my experiences in the year to come. I cannot wait to have an outlet and a way to look back on my experiences! Thanks for the inspiration -- keep doing you!!!

[@lizzthebandfreak]

Hi! I teach in another MD county that also uses PowerSchool. Instead of copying and pasting the assignment, you can grade it by group. (If you have a lighter blue bar at the very top of the page that displays the class, click it and then click group and all of your subjects should pop up.) I’m a departmentalized teacher, too, and I find it so much easier to put in all 30 grades in the same screen, as opposed to doing it separately. I am a first year teacher who learns new things every single day, so I thought I would pass this along. We are so close to June! ☀️

[@carolynmiles2067]

I am in awe of the physical classroom facilities you are provided with. So much storage. If you saw what I have you might cry.

[@katsabo1161]

The hands on equations look so cute!! I'm currently at the end of my geometry course in my high school and I'm going into algebra 2 next year and I can't believe how much math has 'changed'(how complicated it has become)! It's so weird to look back and see how much you've learned. It's teachers like you that help us grow and mature. I'm so thankful for teachers like you!

[@oliviatherese7063]

I find your videos so therapeutic! As a teacher I love organisation. Some people can be really cruel... if you click on their accounts you’ll see they have worse issues than a few stray eyebrow hairs. Xx 💕 keep being a gorg, positive person!

[@pre-kdivertido3198]

I teach Pre-k thank you for sharing your ideas! Love your channel, I work with the little ones

[@sabrinadagostino1066]

Your brows ! They look amazing !!!!

[@jessicahooks1733]

I remember using those hands on equations when I was in 4th grade, and that was almost 12 years ago! Shows that old techniques are still awesome. 😊

[@teakat9188]

Your eyebrows look awesome!

[@miriamlaing]

Teakat I agree with you

[@amandawilkins8403]

I will have to look into Hands On Equations for my third graders. This looks like a nice concrete way to start algebraic learning!

[@heatherdunn9685]

You are such a rockstar teacher! I hope I am as great as you when I graduate next year and start teaching myself.

[@soannetv4902]

I used hand motions to teach my students about the water cycle! It was great to see those students who were originally having a hard time with it finally understand it. :)

[@ashleydiane7412]

I absolutely love you! I am not a teacher but just the way you do your videos I am hooked! I love your eye brows. I just think your an amazing person inside and out! Can’t wait for next week video ❤️💞

[@MelMercado]

The clipboards with your logo is soooo cool!! ❤

[@nataliagastaldo4423]

I loved them too, super cute!

[@elizabethmurphy9666]

Art Bin at Michaels makes a embroidery floss container that would work perfectly for all those book labels👍🏽👌🏼😊

[@CaelTheGoat827]

Hello, I just want to say you are my biggest inspiration. I want to be a teacher when i grow up. I want to be just like you. Teach in Maryland, Get coffee every am (haha), and inspire students. I want to make students lives better just like you do! I just want to say I love you! I look forward to your videos every Sunday! Have a good week xoxo

[@melissabruemmer6748]

We use PowerSchool too. When I have the same assignment for multiple classes I don't have to copy and paste the assignment, I just have to select all the classes I want to assign it to in the "classes" drop down box.

[@bmitchell4224]

I would like to suggest using Google Keep to make to-do lists on since you can access it on any device that you can log into your email.

[@aoife316]

Teacher vlogs get me so excited for when I'm a teacher

[@benjenkins2066]

Instead of using the tinfoil pan my school uses the paint pan that all ready has the slope

[@hannahintihar400]

I am teaching weathering and erosion to my second graders right now and it is so fun! We do hand motions and have a song we sing about it! Great video!

[@janemargot158]

The school I go to uses powerschool and I get more and more grateful as time goes on

[@shosh_153]

I love your videos they are the highlight of my week

[@cerebralcortes]

Your eyebrows look amazing!

[@jamesgingo3528]

thanks so much for your videos

[@mrs_danie_boo]

Schools over here finish on Tuesday for some of us and the rest is Friday. But I love your channel.

[@beckyrunyan7127]

I remember when I did hands-on equations! We had the same kit and everything as you! I did them in 5th grade though.

[@BlackRoze29]

We have 3 days left (used to be 2.5, but no school days made the last day a full day). I was ahead and then got pulled to teach the remediation class before students retook state tests. So for about a week, my kids had subs and my plans didn't happen and my kids went on vacation basically. Then we had no school on Tuesday and Friday last week because of weather (no power, flooding, roads washed out, etc.) So...any hope I had of getting and staying ahead went out the window. We're watching a movie tomorrow for the book we now have no time to finish and Tuesday and Wednesday will be cleaning days. I wish I could have been as productive as you!

[@JCaesthetic]

So encouraging to be productive. Thank you!

[@matthewluck9077]

This is incredible! I never learned algebra until I was in eighth grade math.

[@jokevercammer5892]

Noooo, binch-watched all your video's. So sad... Anyway, I love them, you make me feel better about working till 11pm for school. Keep it up, and I can't wait until the next vlog comes up! Greetings from Belgium

[@raeofsunshine._._]

Hey girl!! So excited for the end of the year! Your eyebrows look great. Maybe share some information about getting that done- I never have and would be a little nervous. Anyway, have a great week! My last full week of the year. 😎

[@loriwinslow5953]

I used the hands on equations in my student teaching! I loved it for the students - such a nice way to teach the beginning level algebra concepts. I was going to tell you there's an app! It's really cool too. Haha to the interpretive dance - I'm working on my masters and it's in curriculum and instruction. My last course was on movement and you are absolutely right - movement is so much more engaging! I enjoy your vlog!

[@StacyTLopez-rw3km]

You look fabulous, Michelle!

[@ItsKatieB]

Love the math activity to foster algebraic thinking!

[@carlypirko9429]

What's your Starbucks order? 😊

[@sweetsummerlovn]

Look into Whole Brain Teaching! It's all about teaching with engagement, and a big piece of it is gestures! Really easy read, you definitely could read it in a week

[@joyjoyq77]

I also watched the blog after this one first and noticed your nice eyebrows and thought hey! Did she microblade? Looks good! Maybe I should try.... And lo-&-behold in this blog she talks about it! Looks good Michelle👍🏼

[@millbob7428]

YAY I'VE BEEN WAITING ALL WEEKEND FOR THIS!!

[@SamBurgessmusic]

Can you record you actually teaching lessons, I would love that!

[@emmablemma834]

Sam Burgess that would be great but I don’t know if she is allowed to because of privacy reasons but it would be great if she could!!

[@mlmj1994]

I love Power School! The school I'm at this year, we've had to do grades by hand.

[@RamsMom]

Eyebrows on point!!!

[@maricarmen3212]

You are amazing 😍 Love to watch your videos 💞

[@erinjones4571]

You should check out Whole Brain Teaching. I think you'll find similarities between your interpretive dancing lesson and this learning technique. It's incredibly engaging and you might find fun ways to incorporate it into some of your other lessons that may not be as engaging.

[@designgirl96]

Kindergarten teacher here. We have our last day tomorrow and a half day Tuesday!!!! Yay!!!! Michelle, your brows look amazing!! Good luck with the last but if the year! I enjoyed watching you throughout this year and last! Planning any travels this summer?

[@tracifryhoff6293]

Loved the video! Eyebrows are perfect!

[@chelsyealyssa]

Your brows look amazing Michelle!! Loved this video 😁💗 I hope you’re doing well! I’m so glad you’re feeling productive. It’s a great feeling. Have you ever heard of the get your teach on conference? I’m going to the one in San Diego this summer!

[@seasonalliving2881]

The post it’s on the bins reminded me of the idea to maybe put those plastic stick on label thingies 😂 on the front of each bin then you could slip in your numbers into the pocket. Hope that makes sense! 🤪

[@Obliviatedd]

Love PowerSchool! I thought it was so simple to use!

[@carlosdearaujo9644]

Where do you got. Amazon

[@rachel2959]

Love your new eyebrows! Amazing!

[@VTtink]

[@bigbird5758]

Happy Friday morning

[@djthereplay]

Welcome back Michelle !!! - Dwight

[@emilylauren9376]

PowerSchool is great - but it's definitely something they need to do training on for teachers who are new to it! My only complaint is it HATES my MacBook, so I can only do grading at school.

[@organisewithdeborah2109]

You are so lucky to have those clipboards with your logo printed on them, also lucky to have free sent to you.

[@user-ei7fe4jx6o]

You inspire me to be a teacher , tbh I might (co/2019) & those eyebrows look nice 😍

[@yenyp.3508]

Hi Michelle :), I love your videos too. Please, where did you buy your microphone for teachers? Can you send me a link? I can't find it on internet. I really need one of those.

[@jillianmcentee5152]

I am 8 I watch your videos because I love to play school. I only have a week left of school

[@teachwithroeske9863]

Hey girl! Fancy eyebrows!!!!!! ❤️ I was wondering if you had black and white washi tape labels like you Bin 1-8 labels?? I'd love to use them for my classroom! I have the colored washi tape labels😊 but the white and black ones would be PERFECTION!

[@margaretjane6775]

Yay!

[@luke7992]

Great Video! Have a great Tuesday!

[@kimdobiasidaho]

Your eyebrows look fabulous :).

[@breannathompson227]

you could try putting concealer under you eye brows so you dont see the hairs growing in! :)

[@jenniemoreno1389]

Your eyebrows look fantastic! I love your vlogs! High school teacher here :)

[@treasure1765]

before the bbmas i will have a marathon with your vlogs!

[@sierrabingham4460]

Your eyebrows are microbladed right? I really want to get mine done too

[@ansleylowe7256]

Algebraic equations are so much fun

[@Erin_C1010]
