Hi! New here! I just found your videos yesterday. I am currently finishing school, doing a major career change from healthcare to elementary education in my mid thirties. I am NERVOUS and excited. Your videos are such a blessing for people like me. I appreciate how real and honest you are and I love your organization. Thank you for sharing your life with us!

Ooooooop

[@RaeleenxMarie]

Don’t feel bad, I broke down and cried after school one day a few weeks ago. We are human and we can only handle so much! ❤

[@daianaechevarria6058]

Love the chatting. Honestly I think its a way for you to talk out your issues and its always nice to share. Keep it going :)

[@kristen.guarino]

True! It was nice to just get it all out!!

[@AJYisrael]

Teaching IS hard girl!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 I’m only in my 2nd year of being a music teacher & I teach across across grade levels… STRESSFUL. I always say that teaching is a literal SKILLSET, damn near an art form in itself 🤷🏾‍♀️ We as teachers can only do so much to get through to a student & if the discipline is low at home, then that is also brought to school.

[@SophM-r6c]

Music Teacher here too!! Third year teaching now!🎉❤🎶

[@JD-zv3nz]

I had the same experience in 2019... taught 3rd grade, my class had 11 boys and 6 girls. Small class but the boys had extremely challenging behaviors all year long. I too broke down after a difficult day and ended up going home early. Teaching is hard but you're doing an incredible job. Kudos to you for pushing through!

[@jocelyngeorge9331]

Just found your videos. Love it. I'm also a 3rd grade teacher, with 19 years under my belt in this grade. Oh, I'm in South Africa. Our education system differs, but I love the ideas you supply.

[@Jasminekkay]

Hi Kristen 😊I recently found your channel and absolutely love it! Love the long vlogs!! Also, your classroom is decorated so beautifully. I will be starting college for my ECE bachelors soon and your videos give such a genuine outlook on teaching. Thank you for making content 💕 I know it takes a lot of work and courage.

[@MsAlison]

thank you for keeping it real with us!

[@kristen.guarino]

of course 🥺🫶🏻

[@phague85]

Love the chatting while you work…I also love the idea to have a mystery reader!

[@susurrosenpapelgt]

I love your videos and your seems like you are very nice and kind to kids .🎉❤

[@TeamCarey-u1q]

Hi you are such a fun teacher your so good at your job i love your videos and i have watched your videos multiple times and you are awesome thank you so much for making these videos!

[@harneetvirk9607]

I have had a difficult year as well. The kids don’t listen and run around like a zoo. I have cried in front of them as well.

[@PastNoobGamer90]

Have you tried better disipline tactics?

[@harneetvirk9607]

@@PastNoobGamer90what are some examples?

[@TAYLOR_SWIFT_WHO]

Don’t worry you are strong for doing that!😊 good luck❤

[@jengiolando4159]

I love the chatting while ur working.

[@chaylaouting7596]

Hi, I love watching your videos!!! 🙂 I taught kindergarten for 7 years and this is my first year teaching 3rd. I wasn’t sure I would be able to do centers/stations with my students at first because they were older but we found a way that worked best for us. 🙂 I start off by introducing the center and model how I want them to do it from start to finish. I gradually add more centers as needed. While I was in k one of my teammates told me about an extra center she had called the timeout zone. That center was reserved for students who needed a moment to remember the expectations. I hope this helps. Again I love your videos. They show how passionate you are about teaching. 🤍✨

[@letyperez2068]

Loved your video. You are so real!

[@callyson1666]

Hi! I sure hope things look up. I teach first grade this year. Teaching is definitely a difficult career, even after teaching 20 years, but I can see you are putting your heart and soul into it. Thank you for being there for your students. On a side note, do you happen to have the accordion file linked in your storefront?

[@imaineesfih1848]

I just now suscribed to your Channel. Thank you for sharing. ❤

[@beckyg3645]

I can't wait to become an elementary school teacher! Did you get a bachelor's degree in education? What college did you go too? We're the classes manageable? What are some tips and tricks? What should I start on for preparing myself? I am going to start my career after i finish in active-duty navy.

[@kristen.guarino]

Yes! Bachelor's in Education and the classes weren't bad! Didn't fully prepare you for the classroom necessarily but nothing really can until you're actually in it!

[@ForemanTeaches]

I like the chatting while you are working. Will you please share the link for the number cards that you used for centers?

[@Caliteachertribe]

Super cute outfits! Where did you get your smiley teacher shirt & your floral dress?

[@chrisoulalakkas8968]

Remember, every day is a chance to do better.

[@Sarahrollinger]

I was thinking this today. Kids listened to their teachers when I was in school. There were behaviors here and there, but nothing like what I’m seeing. It’s hard and I wonder if it’s going to get better or if I might end up leaving the field.

[@kellitravis]

How much planning time do you get each day? How do you keep teammates from visiting while you work?

[@MrYoTeach]

I’m also a 3rd grade teacher in Oregon!

[@mrsshelton226]

Hi. Can you share the math game where the students match the pairs to add or subtract?

[@1tzharld984]

Hi I’ve only watched 2 of your videos and I’m 8 and I really want to be a teacher when I am older but I want to have my classroom set out just like yours I love you what country do you live in.😊

[@kaitlinstucki2087]

Where are the cute colored cube organizers from that are behind your teacher desk?

[@kristen.guarino]

[@koverbaugh91]

Where did you get the pants that you were wearing on Friday??

[@teachersedit]

I love the student name plates on their desk! Did you create those?

[@kristen.guarino]

Yes! They’re on my tpt!

[@beckyg3645]
