A Day In My Life Teaching Remotely

guys i froze and i lost everything that i did for tomorrow i can see if it's going to work out hopefully it does because i have no backup plan i don't want to drink it so not going to work but this is probably the best like zoom meeting that i've had [Music] good morning it is monday welcome back to my channel if you are new here my name is fernanda and i'm a first grade teacher in arizona and this is my fourth year teaching i've also been documenting my entire teaching journey so if you're interested um yeah subscribe to my channel i guess okay so today's video is gonna be another day in my life and we're starting off things a little bit different been in a little bit of a rut i'm not gonna lie working from home is hard working from home is definitely tough so this week i'm trying to make it as normal as possible and by that i mean like dressing up actually getting ready and then i'll show you what i did yesterday to prep for today to make it a little more normal for me and hopefully better for the kids i don't know we'll see so let's go over to the loft is where my work area is and we'll get started with our day i have about an hour before our first zoo meeting so let's go you can definitely hear alex in the background so when i wait until he's off the phone [Music] you can probably hear alex but i'll try to cover or i don't know talk over him but here's my new setup i have this standing desk which makes it a lot more comfortable to work because i don't have to be sitting down the whole time and because i can stand now i'm going to try to teach with my easel i know i showed it in the last vlog but i haven't but ever since i haven't really found a way to make it work i think i only tried it once and then got overwhelmed and then i didn't try it again so i'm going to try it again today i also made anchor charts that we're going to go over today i remade this one from last year i wish i would have kept them would have saved me so much time but i didn't so we're starting fables this unit visualizing and of course you all fell down let me try that again so let's change skiers for a second and let's talk about what i think it's the perfect teacher gift so back to school season is upon us actually it's already happening and it's i think it's and i think it's safe to say that it's and i think it's safe to say that it looks so much different than it ever has at least for me i know i've only been teaching for four years but this is definitely not the same as other three years i can see that teachers are working harder than ever are teaching completely online some are doing hybrid i'm not even doing in person it's literally not the same across the board what's that saying it's like we're building the plane as we're flying it i think that's what the saying is but i feel like that's fitting to situation anyway i think the perfect gift could bring some light and positivity into someone's life especially a teacher right now i know there's been so many times where i felt overwhelmed anyway i think the perfect gift can bring some light and also show appreciation for a teacher and i think that is by giving a vanilla gift card i know it's a teacher myself that teachers spend so much money out of their own pockets to basically fund their classroom at least i do so the reason why i think a vanilla gift card is such a good gift is because it provides the recipients flexibility of where to spend if you were to give it to a teacher they wouldn't be limited as to where they could shop they could shop online or in store or even both so if you're looking to show some appreciation for a teacher this back-to-school season definitely consider giving them a vanilla gift card to brighten up their day and one more thing about vanilla gift cards they are actually hosting some giveaways the largest one being on facebook and these awesome giveaways you can nominate a teacher to enter them for a chance to win a 500 vanilla gift card i'm going to try to staple them all together because we're going to flip through them anyway so yeah let's see i mean i can show you what i'm talking about so this is the last thing we're going to do we're going to go ahead and blend some words and all i did was printed rectangles cut them out no i printed rectangles and laminated them laminated them put a magnet on the back and they were blank so that way i can just that way i could just write whatever layers i needed hopefully you can hear me so i can write whatever letter i need um so maybe i can do voiceover i'm gonna go ahead and act it out and i'm gonna do a voiceover because this is not working [Music] writing reading retelling visualizing and tables so i'm going to try to do something kind of staple them that way if they fall they all fall down together and then the cool thing about this i should probably buy somewhat erase markers so this doesn't erase and this doesn't erase that's probably next to my to buy list even though i think i already have some but they're just in my classroom somewhere in the box so i don't know where they are um but anyway the cool thing about this easel is that it's like a clip [Applause] shark oh that's what that's for oh that makes sense it has two little clips here here let me show you right there and that's where you put the paper that's what that's for now i get it so you put them here so that they don't fall like they were and you don't have to staple them but that's okay just found this out right now close it and we're good to go so i'm gonna go ahead and move this to this side so i can see if it's going to work out hopefully it does because i have no backup plan [Music] just realize i don't have a pointer so i think i'm gonna put some markers together and use it as my pointer for today in the meantime i do have to export my powerpoint presentation onto my ipad i'm still using that a little bit um so i'm gonna do that right now i was editing the powerpoint for today and usually what i do is i have the entire unit under one powerpoint and then um probably the smartest thing to do but when it's time to export that lesson i i don't delete all the slides that are not pertaining to that date and then i export it as a pdf and then i undo that and i save it so everything's still saved so i had deleted all the slides except for the ones from monday and then i edited something and i pressed saved and i lost everything that i did for tomorrow i don't know if that makes sense but that sucks rise and shine and welcome to school today so let me move it to this side so i can see it can you guys see my my screen yeah awesome so you did that so our morning message is happy monday now some people are happy about that it's a short week yeah so the reason that this week is short is because we're having parent-teacher conferences parent-teacher conferences are when i sit down with your mom or dad or you're grown-up on zoom and i just tell them how you are doing in our class all right so the question of the day is can you whistle all right i'm going to go ahead and put the poll up i want to know can you whistle i can't whistle very well let me try now we were going to say them so we could say i'm really excited we could say them kind of like if we're bored or if we're sad or if we're happy or angry okay so i'm we're gonna do a few of them and then i'm gonna pick someone to tell me how we're gonna do them so let's do them normal first ready so we'll do z zebra how are we gonna say it sad like really really sad or a little bit sad a little bit dead all right ready aye aye [Music] we're gonna do it really [Music] [Applause] [Music] they're really slow [Music] do any of you have okay thank you oh really this one all right i need to drink a little water something got stuck in my throat i think it was from like saying super speed all right we only have two more left what's that did he play you peeing what does that mean up yeah that's your p is up were you oh you were spelling a word for me all right so before we read our story i want us to be able to know this okay our story is going to be a fable can you say fable oh a fable is a kind of story and this is how we're gonna know if a story is a fable and on fables we can find that the setting which means where the story is taking place is outside so do this with me the setting is outside one more time the setting is outside [Music] all right guys i froze for this part we're also going to use our body to remember these sounds when we use our body to remember it helps our brain remember for longer for so for e and sound we're gonna do e this is a asl for e so everybody do e thank you we're gonna post like ed and we're going to do add and you're going to jump for f ready let's do it all together e let's go ahead and do some high frequency words high frequency words are the ones we're going to focus on a lot this week all right so for this one we're also going to use our bodies to remember what this word is all right so that's done and i think this is probably the best i don't wanna drink side so i'm not gonna work but this is probably the best like zoom meeting that i've had and i think this definitely helped a lot we did a lot more movement stuff as you saw we did not get to the narrative writing anchor chart and that's okay because technically two days are pre-assessment pre-assessments so all they're gonna so all they're gonna do is write about something that they did this weekend and then tomorrow we can start on the narrative writing structure so yeah i'm gonna go ahead and put things away and answer emails and stuff like that i am so bummed that i deleted my powerpoint lesson for tomorrow i was already ahead and now i'm behind make sure that i have my math ready for today and then work on the ones for tomorrow hi it's after lunchtime so we're gonna log back in in 10 minutes [Music] 20 [Music] which means six plus four equals ten [Music] oh all right that meeting was not the best compared to the morning but it's okay i think they got the concept [Music] so that is it for today's video thank you so much for watching and thank you so much for ella gift card for sponsoring today's video if you're interested in buying a vanilla gift card for a teacher in your life have all the links in the description box below okay so that is it i
