Setting Up More Centers! | Teaching Vlog Ep 12

he just like touches my tooth yeah I never ever ever thought I would say don't touch my teeth guys it is Sunday September 3rd and I'm just here waiting to get picked up because Sunday's are usually the days that I hang out with my boyfriend's so why wait I decided to print some stuff in laminates so I saw this one pin on than watching like teacher vlogs I've been trying to think of things for centers or stations and I found this one pin let me just find it again so I can show you ok so here it is and it's from kinder smarts and it's just a letter matching stations so you have the alphabet from A to Z either in uppercase or all lowercase so I made both and I just printed it off I think it from the pan it looks like she just use like 7 strips and laminated them which makes complete sense but since I want to have them ready for Tuesday I decided to make it on my own and I'm laminating them myself so let me show you okay so this is what it looks like I just made this on PowerPoint if you are interested in this let me know and I'll put it on my teachers pay teacher's store as the free beats so I'm gonna cut through this line right here and then cut off the excess and then just make it into a really long strip so it kind of looks like this and I'm gonna have these clothespins and they're just gonna match the letters I'm thinking I'm just starting off with matching uppercase to uppercase and lowercase to glory Ches just to give them that practice I feel like my kiddos would benefit from that and then I also have the lowercase right here so once my kids have enough practice with that I'm gonna have them just match uppercase to lowercase that way they have more practice with that as well and I've noticed that my kids really enjoy doing activities with clothespin some of the activities I used for early finishers involve post-payment a lot of my students gravitate towards those so I figured I would make more activities that involve clothespins so that is one something that I'm doing in my last vlog I mentioned these boxes but I didn't explain exactly what I wanted to import because that footage was on my camera and I left my camera my classroom so I just wanted to explain a little bit more what I plan to do these so these these are just rectangle clip and lock storage boxes they are from Dollar Tree and they are a decent size and I wanted these because these are so much easier to open from the side then my photo boxes are some of my students have a really hard time opening those boxes so I figured these would be better and they are bigger so they fit more manipulatives inside too so I'm gonna use these four centers in my last vlog I mentioned how I'm going to try to just let my students choose what center they want to do they figure these would be the perfect way to store them however I was only able to get nine of them and I want to get at least six more maybe so I'm gonna try to go to another Dollar Tree right now with my boyfriend he doesn't know that yet but we're gonna go there and we're gonna go to Target as well so I just wanted to let you guys know that these are awesome the only downside is that they don't have a lot of colors they only have green blue and red so I wish I had more colors but it's totally okay I'll stick with blue and green it's much later now and I completely forgot what I was talking about before I stop vlogging my boyfriend came and pick me up so that's why I stopped blogging but I've been working on some like play-doh mats and they are not super fancy or anything it literally took me like five minutes to make this so I'll just show you what it looks like okay so this is what it looks like and I just have all the same words that we've gone over so far so they will just build this with play-doh trace it and then write it in my classroom currently I do have play-doh mats that the last teacher before me left behind all students could do with those was just build or so I just wanted to wait for them to build it trace it and then write it on their own too so this is what I came up with eventually I hope I can make a cuter but for now this will work okay so I am printing off the masters to all my morning work for the week and I think I'm gonna do the same for the week after and the week after that just so I can have it ready for morning work I just use like worksheets like this that come with they'll write the room bundle that I have so link it down below if you are interested so usually I have two pages so for Monday it's gonna be just this one and this one they're just gonna practice writing uppercase letters I think my students are just gonna pack this to writing uppercase G's and then for the next day they'll be making like a a quilt so it optics that's how the letter G and so on and so forth I also finished laminating my alphabet sheets sheets no I also finished laminating my alphabet strips and then I ran out of laminating sheets but then I remembered I had ordered some from Amazon so they are here it's a lot of room so let me show them to you I think I got a really good deal on them they are 5 mil pouches and usually I get three mil pouches because those are cheaper and then um and instead of 200 they come with 300 in this pack and I think it was about 17 dollars so if it's still available I'll link it down below so they are these laminating pouches and I've never used this brand of laminating pouches it says it's best for Apache laminators I don't have one of those so we'll see how it works just love that it came with 300 so hopefully if they work okay so it's almost 2:00 in the morning and I'm gonna go to sleep now I printed a lot of things I laminating a lot of things and I cut a bunch of things so I'm gonna go to bed now good morning guys it is Monday and if Labor Day so I didn't work today but I am gonna go to my classroom right now just to set up a few things I do want to finish setting up my calendar area I printed out some time frames to count how many dates have been in school so I went to put those I also printed out and laminated a bunch of new sensors so I'm gonna go set those up as well and also I have to finish my lesson plans for the week so I'm gonna do that there as well okay so just got to my classroom and I was hoping that the ACE you would be on but it doesn't seem like it is which makes sense because there's no school today but luckily I still have my fan here so I'll turn that one on and then get to work I did stop at Dollar Tree while my hair looks crazy I did stop at Dollar Tree real quick too initially I went in to buy clothes pants and I came up and I came out with everything but close pants like Target all over again hey I just finished eating my breakfast but these are my new sketchbook cards I'm gonna show you what they look like compared to my old ones right now so you can see how much smaller they are right there my old ones and these are my new ones they're not that much smaller but they will definitely make a difference I'm almost done setting up my calendar and I ran out of the washi tape that I was using to section off every part so I'll show you what it looks like right now I have this all above the letter we're learning I have a hundreds chart and then there's hundreds tens in the ones place pocket chart I also put 10 frames for how many days we've been in school and I filled out the ones that we've already been in school then over here we just have our calendar we have yesterday was today is tomorrow will be and then this is where I run out of washi tape as well as here because you can see I have washi tape in between each Tim frame but then I ran out so I also have my weather and then my classroom jobs I plan on taking pictures of my students and putting them right here I added two more classroom jobs which is sweeper and table washer so I'll have one sweeper two table washers and a half two messengers at all times then I just put my schedule cards right here with velcro dots and I think this looks a lot better than it did before right now I want to put like a line on my beams like these beams to display our all-star stickers or whatever only my students can see how many we have and they are on display I'm not really sure if I want to put them there or like by the window I think I'll put him by the window actually I decided to put them right there instead and I just has a line going across the room so it's super hot in here so excuse my appearance but I feel like it got a lot done today so I have my September journals ready my aid was awesome and she put them together I just glued on the cover so just has like students September journal so I'm gonna go ahead and put them away I also set up a few centers so I'll show you what I have so here are just some literacy centers here's just that alphabet strip that I showed you that I was making once is so foggy there we go here is the alphabet strip that I showed you that I was making here is gonna be right there room and then here is gonna be just like rolling trace ABCs and they had these giant inflatable cubes that I bought at Target a while ago so I'm finally finding some use for them I have another one right here that it's just like sorting so it has all the numbers one through ten and they just has different cards like this is a one so it go here this is another one so it comes here this is just for them to count and sort and then right here I have some map centers so here are some more row and match so they'll roll it and then count and they match it so I got two of those are laminated and I'm gonna cut with dry erase markers for those this is another one so you roll it and you see what number you landed on to be one that on for you put for hero comes after four or five six and four these centers I'm gonna allow kids to play with a partner I have my cookie sheet one so he's not cookies with different amount of chocolate spatulas and then and then they just put them where they belong right here I have some math ones so these are the box that I was looking at at Dollar Tree and I looked online and they do have pink so I'm gonna go ahead and order one case which comes with 24 so copy eight of each but these are just play-doh maps so they'll build some bones this is a sensor that they will be able to do with a buddy and then these are the same so if you look at look like and for these I have a spinner and also though this is another one that's all be able to do with a buddy so they'll spin it and they'll land on whatever numbers they'll put that amount of beats on their pipe cleaner and they'll sometimes they really like this one here I have a few more literacy centers so what a man do to make sure students know which ones which I find out the labels that I have for my schedule cards just smaller and then tape them on here so they can know which one's literacy and which ones now this is another literacy one that I made last night so this is just where they're gonna practice sight words they're gonna build the word with play-doh they're gonna trace it with a dry erase marker and they're gonna write it by themselves with a dry erase marker so I have nine sight words right now I have to make one for this week so this one you can only do it by themselves but this one I have to make copies of a recording sheet to put into practice and it can even be like sour classes as well and this one is from princess printables by the way our printable princess yeah so then the spinet is this highlighter so look at the highlighter and write their name so they have all those options the skinny smelly markers and they also have smelly create a really cool these are the smelly crayons that I have but there are gel crayons so they have like a really odd consistency see but it's not good and they missing a popular one my classroom is a little bit of a disaster so I'm gonna clean up and then just leave oh I forgot to show you I found these men's a dollar I only found pink and blue and I kind of wanted to get all pink but the but they only have seven nine eight sign they're getting for blue and for Pink's so I'm just gonna put supplies in some of them because sometimes you can't find dry erase markers or glue stick so this is just an easier spot to have them at so I haven't home for a while now and I'm just about done planning for the week so I have everything written down I just have to print out some things that I want to have for the week I don't have to have them but I want them so I'll show you what my week is gonna look like this week okay so this is what I send my principal and my assistant principal um so yeah so we start with morning work and everything is just going down so Monday there is nothing cuz it was Labor Day Tuesday we are saying hello to G and uppercase G I am also going to start question of the day tomorrow because we are focusing on a pain writing so this is gonna be a good way to introduce it I think so those are my questions of the day so what is the best pet in the world what is the best superpower to have best color and then best day of the week and then then I just have my standards on the side just morning calendar after that phonics I just realized right now as I was planning this I have been doing my my schedule is wrong the way I'm doing it I do have it correct on my plans but I have literacy centers and sight-word switched so I have to make sure that that's the other way around cuz reading lab is about to start so I can't be teaching phonics or sight words when kids are being pulled out so for finding some news doing sex and phonics literally I just type up the objective so like I just typed up this and then I just go all the way down sight words we're just gonna continue we're just gonna continue reviewing quickly sight words through movement and songs then we are going to do literacy centers so for this it looks a little bit different than it did last week because I added choice so these are all my choice stations that they can choose from so these are all my choice of stations that students can choose from but I also have required two stations for the week so I have letter G sorting and then G sound sorting and again my Santa needs are on the side then we have lunch and then the whole class read aloud so R and R does sense for breast and read so that's just kind of our cooldown and I do have standards on the side for it then I just have journals so we are going to revisit the question of the day and they are gonna draw their opinion so I showed you the journals earlier in the vlog and I also printed the tops off so they can glue them to their journals so we can look back and kind of see what they were answering then we have map so for meth I mentioned that I am using Kinder math hermit airwest so this is what it looks like kind of showed it on my last blog already so we are doing less than 1.3 tomorrow so this is it and we are just introducing the number 4 this is just one of the worksheets are we gonna do I am gonna have my students complete this worksheet before they can start of math stations tomorrow Thursday and Friday we're doing science we are now focusing we are now moving away from the five senses I know it will come back later in the year I think multiple times so now we're focusing so now we're focusing on the difference between living and non-living see last vlog I mentioned how I have a hundred and fifty dollars to spend on instructional aids so I just finished filling out the PIO and I went over by one dollar and 26 cents but I know that I don't know like the school gets like a 10% discount from Lakeshore's so I think I should be climbs good morning it is Tuesday and then just up to school I'm about to go and sneeze for a little bit a second so I'm about to go and make copies for this week's morning work and today's math I'll make the other copies later after school so I have you we don't have specials today so we are gonna be doing science when we would usually do scut so we don't have specials today so we're gonna be doing science during the time we would usually have schedules schedules specials and we're going to be talking about what it means to be living and not living so wait doesn't make like a quick little anchor chart and that's gonna be the introduction okay so it's the another day on Monday it's actually well after the end of the day it's severe o'clock and I haven't done much to be honest this missile is a little bit hectic because one of my little girls was really upset she was trying to put on her backpack and she was trying to do that her earring got stuck on her backpack strap and a little bead which was of my little pony little bead fell off and she couldn't find it and she was so so so upset I had never ever seen her this upset how do I calm her down and as I dropped her off where she was supposed to go she she seemed to be okay but not like completely happy like she usually is so I figured I would drop off my West kids bursting them and then I would go check on her when I was heading to go check on her I could hear that someone was crying a lot like a lot someone was very upset um I peeked in and I didn't see her and I was about to walk away with like no let me ask again and they went in I asked for her and sure enough it was her she was crying so much poor little thing she's crying in a corner and there was no one consoling her and I felt so bad so I went in and I try to calm her down and she was so upset over her earring I told her I would look for it and I found it I would put her in a cubby I've looked through it and I can't find it I'm gonna try to look for it one more time and hopefully I find it but she was very very upset so I'm gonna look for her earring but I just felt so bad it broke my heart after that I just talked to one of my team teachers for a while my classroom is like at the very end of the school and the busses are like on the back end so oftentimes when I have to go that way instead of going all the way were on the building to get into my classroom I kind of cut through one of the classrooms right here so I was just talking to one of my team teachers we first started talking about centers and stuff like that and eventually it just the conversation got a little bit deeper and more personal so I don't know it's just a nice conversation and like these teachers are genuinely nice people so I am so happy I am in this school to be honest like I can't imagine myself being anywhere else but here on a lighter note I saw something today that I never thought I would say so it was a great choice time so when the kids get to play with whatever they want and I was just sitting down with a few kids that they were just talking to me and this woman a boy has been talking and smiling he just like touches my tooth like right here and I was like wait a minute what just happened and yep he touched my tooth and I'm like please don't do that and like he was still trying to touch my teeth so yeah I never ever ever thought I would say don't touch my teeth like who touches other people's teeth I didn't understand it was just very funny something does it happened and that I thought was hilarious we were we finished cleaning up so they were waiting at the tables and I thought this one little boy was upset because he was just like and I'm like there's something happen so as I was convinced he has a said something happened I'm like oh she's like something happened I missed it and I don't know what's going on so yes I'm like hey little Johnny are you okay and then he didn't answer so I'm like hey Johnny are you not that's not his real name by the way hey Johnny are you okay and then he looks up smiling and everything's like oh yeah everything's fine I was trying to show other little Johnny that I have an eyebrow and I'm like yes you do have an eyebrow we're trying to do something else but I would think of it and I was out laughing a little bit and yeah and then after that one of my little boys gave me a napkin from Little Caesars because we are doing environmental print and you just kept saying Pizza Pizza all the time it was just hilarious today was a good day so we're going to show you what I ended up doing for a question of the day I don't know if I talked about this already but I want to have a question of the day now that we are done with a friend of the day so and then we are focusing on a pain writing so mostly opinions drawing at this point but I wanted to have a question of things so what I ended up doing was I introduced a question at the beginning of the morning so my kids come in pressing in the morning and they put their stuff away they come to the rug and I greet them and I tell him what they're gonna do for morning work so after I told him that I told him like hey after you're done with morning work you are gonna answer our question of the day in our question of the day today is what is the best pet to have so then I just put it up in the Promethean Board they did good morning they did their morning work and as they were finishing they would come and answer it this is what it looks like oh so I have choices up here and all the things were down here so I showed my students have answer it so they would just find her name and drag it to the answer that they wanted to say after lunch when we did journal is that's when I came back to the question and we talked about what is the best pet to have and we talked about why that pet is the best one to have okay so just finished filming a video that's gonna go up tomorrow which is Wednesday which means that it should be up by now and it's just basically a reflection of my first month of teaching I don't know if you guys are gonna enjoy that kind of video but I kind of wanted to do it more for me so I can look back on it some other time so right now I'm just gonna clean up a little bit and then just head out good morning I just got to my classroom and my eyes have been watering for whatever reason this one in particular that's why concealer just came off but it's weird because it's not like I like water up like very very slowly and I can feel like the tear build up like I'm here but I don't know what this so I'm just gonna see if I need to make any copies today fourth for the day since yesterday I was planning to making copies but I save talking to another teacher and then by his house I'm talking with her the work group was closed so let's see I think you need something from Matt yes I do okay so it's the end of the day on Wednesday and I've been just kind of trying to get a little bit of had some so I just got done requesting copies for it the next week so I have my morning work and run our copies to be submitted for requests so these should be done by either tomorrow or tomorrow Thursday or Friday so this is great I am also going to go ahead and go make copies I need for the rest of the week and yeah I feel like it's been a very productive afternoon I mean one of my team teacher sat down and we talked about what site words we wanted to do for the first quarter like recently we had only kind of been choosing them as the weeks came but but I asked her we could sit down and talk about it because I would feel so much better and from you outside words we were gonna teach each week so we have all those sight words set up for the first quarter actually so that's Julie its 3:30 p.m. and I'm about to head out I am really really really really tired today so I'm just gonna do some more I don't want to print and laminate some things so I figured I could do that but yeah I got really ahead on my copies so instead of fulfilling since it of submitting those requests I just ended up making the copies myself because no one was in the copy room so I made all my copies for this week for both math and literacy and I also made my copies for next week for both math and literacy I did a submit a request for my literacy copies for not next week but the week after that so I feel pretty good about that so I don't have to worry about that have morning duty tomorrow so that's why I wanted to get some copies on today since I usually make my copies in the morning when I get here so I won't be able to do that tomorrow I'm really really really tired I hope I'm not getting sick I did have one kiddo that was sick like yesterday he was coughing so much so I'm hoping that I'm not catching whatever he had one thing I did do though is this I'm gonna have like my anchor tights like bear tie just how good the clothes pins onto the wall since it is like brick NASA took down this bulletin board since that was from the very beginning of the school year I am gonna have that being my what is it gonna be my environmental print board so I'm gonna go ahead and send the reminder to parents again I'm gonna send a reminder to parents again just saying hey can you bring something and yeah so I've been home for a while and as soon as I got home I just crashed so my hair is all crazy right now but now I feel better so I'm gonna be awake for probably another two maybe three hours and then go back to sleep so right now I'm working on my class newsletter does I do have all my parents but one sign up on dojo I do post my class newsletter on dojo so that way I can see who's seen it and who hasn't but I am gonna send home a physical copy of this newsletter with the little girl whose parents are not signed up for dojo I don't know that we don't know because thanks I've sent home toughen up and read I guess so I I can do is try write the morning was a little bit Rocky somebody want centers that's making me think so centers was a little bit crazy Saxon was a little bit crazy it was having my kids like blend sounds and my kids are not ready for that so they it was just going over their head completely so and I was also telling them about it is telling them about the vowel followed by a consonant rule and which I get my kids know that they are confident in bowels if and they know that vowels are AEIOU but they don't really understand what consonants are yet so having this rule and with all the having this rule with all the decoding stuff on it really just went over their heads and we're supposed to have this up on the classroom for them to refer back to but they're they're just not ready for this yet so although the morning was kind of rocky the afternoon was pretty good and usually it's the other way around so I'm glad that it was my kids got more of those purple papers that they get and now we have nine so we just need one more to have some kind of celebration so I'm super excited about the bat in the afternoon we did a story time we read frog on a log because now we because now we know that L sound the O sound the G sounds so frog on log it just made sense and they loved it too then we went over question of the day again for our journals and then they did math and math what is really really well for it to be the whole group thing for like 30 minutes knows in 30 minutes like 20 minutes it went really really well after math we did a little bit of science just like a tiny bit so I was showing just like a video of fish in water we were talking about whether or not that kind of fish is a living thing or a nonliving thing so I just have this little anchor chart and I'll show you we made it made this and we're focusing on the blue part a so fish are living because tomorrow is when we're going to talk about whether goldfish crackers are living or nonliving because the morning was so rocky I I know I kind of want to take a step back from joy centers because it was so rocky I can't think of her name Elizabeth like no her name's Elizabeth but I forgot her channel name kinder hearted classroom you think our kinder target classroom does she has like specific areas in your classroom and she'll put names on like okay so this group can only choose centers that are in this area so there's no choice but it's still like structured so I think I'm gonna do that and find specific areas and then assign kids to those areas and then they can choose from that I hope that makes sense if it doesn't go watch Elizabeth's video and where she talks all about how she does centers so I think I want to do that because I think I'll be better on Instagram I showed that I have this light box and I put a story before me so I turn it on when I'm doing small groups and if it's on they don't ask me questions ask three people open for me they ask three people their question and if they don't know the answer or they were actually hurt and it's an emergency then they can ask me and it was just hilarious because a little boy came to try to ask me a question and they didn't acknowledge him very much I just pointed to this line and she just backed away so he's like okay okay I get it and it was very funny but the sign is definitely helping I also did this to my keyboard because I do have a center where they spell sight words and every time I press up a letter like a silly sound comes on so it's a PowerPoint presentation that I thought awful every time the presentation would end they would always have to ask me to like reset it so I just told them like okay when that happens you press the yellow button and then press the green button and it's helped it's and I'm so glad I did this because now they don't bother me during small groups okay so our inquiry wall is almost ready I want to put like arrows like plenty to the paper but other than that I like how it looks okay so I'm gonna gather up a bunch of things and just go home I didn't get to be in the classroom into a lot of things like I wanted to for the afternoon but that's okay so what I'm gonna do instead is I'm gonna pick up I am going to the gym I'm actually gonna go to the gym today I think I need it so hopefully it'll be a really good workout and then I'm gonna go get things on at home I just have to fill out some things I are going home tomorrow and that is pretty much it my classroom doesn't look too bad um it's pretty much so it's pretty much functional and organized so yeah I'm just gonna kind of go to the gym then go home I do have to finish that bulletin board for environmental print but I'll do that tomorrow and step tomorrow I'll say a little bit later and I'll finish that tomorrow also I forgot to mention yesterday one of my little girls picked out this flower and gave it to me and I was a cutest thing ever and it definitely made my day I regret this later but I'm gonna use glitter in my classroom if I want to use blue okay so I just got home and as you saw from the last clips I went to Target I learned about you but I love retail therapies so after a long long day I figured I would go to Target I didn't need some things so I those makes use so the thing that I did go in for was granola bars this week our letter of the week was G so I totally forgot to get snacks last week for like what of the week but I did do snacks poor L week so I figured I would do it this time and G granola bars I got some chewy granola bars these were two dollars and chemists with eight so I got two of those because I have 16 students that worked out perfectly I also bought some passion ice tea because I love these I absolutely love these I absolutely love them but getting them from Starbucks is expensive so I figured I would give these a try I do like their chai tea so hopefully it's good I also got ExoMars I totally didn't need these but these are cute colors and they're a clearance because pretty much everything back to school is something these were originally 349 and I got him from 174 I also got starburst so I introduced the Caddy theory to my students the reason I did this is because their caddies were an absolute mess so so I have like for every section what they should have in that section so crayons go in this little section glue six and sisters go here and so on and so forth so I told them that the caddy care you might visit them if their caddies are clean so they've been trying so hard to have their caddies organized so I saw some things on Pinterest that people do car moving yes I saw some things I'm interested to see I saw some things on Pinterest that people do for desk fairies we don't have desks so we have caddies so I figured I would do something similar so people were doing like a little note attached with a starburst so I bought Stoppers to go along with that and I think fairies I think litter and I know I'm probably gonna regret this but I love glitter so I bought glitter that I'm gonna sprinkle like around just just tiny bit so makes it a little bit more special and more and more believable as well yeah that's pretty much all I got well let's try get just like aimlessly wandering the aisles I found that this like iron-on thing that said you're a vibe attacks your tribe and I absolutely love that I had never heard that before and it was such a cute decal - it was like ombre with like yellow and pink it was just really bright and really like the font was really cute as well so I didn't get it but now I kind of want to okay so I set up the starburst and I am about to sprinkle the glitter Friday is over and it was a good day but it was also very busy day so this morning I went pretty well we did our Saxon I went fine we did centers we still did toy centers but I think I'm so going to like take a step back on that and kind of had more structure to it because I don't think my kids can handle it right now which is perfectly understandable it's only been a month like completely free toy centers will be able will be a thing later on throughout the year but I said now I don't think it's a good idea but I am glad I gave it a shot I don't regret doing it this week but you learn as we go all right today my students got another whole class all-star sticker so that means we have ten and that means there's celebration they got ten they earn ten so fast so I think for the next one we're gonna have to earn twenty and not just ten so on Monday we are gonna vote on what they want to have as a celebration and it will be a smaller celebration will have a bigger one at the end of the quarter but I'm just glad they're happy I'm super proud of them so I I am proud of myself because I got my newsletter sent out and I usually do it on Sunday but it's already out to front of week today so I did that it wasn't honestly wasn't even that hard I think I might start next week's newsletter my classroom is a little bit of a hot mess right now so I'm gonna get up just a little bit okay so I've spent the past like 45 minutes just kind of cleaning the classroom putting things back where they belong and I'm pretty happy with how things look so I plan doing a lot of work over the weekend we do have Kindles so I think I've mentioned that before so I want to introduce them next week so we'll have to make sure that all the apps are there and they are all charged so they are ready for Monday let me just don't cuz my feet hurt okay so I plan on doing the Kindles thing I also plan on making my small group so I can start playing them on a regular basis especially now that I am gonna officially be allowing volunteers into my classrooms so next week I am going to set up a meeting so if they wanna volunteer they can come to a meeting and just kind of get more information about it I don't have to make any copies because they are all done for the next two weeks two or three weeks that makes me really really happy today we did craft for the letter G and it was a giraffe so I'll show you what it looks like it's really cute so that I also have to make sub plans and I put that on my to-do list I have to make sub plans because I have day five of new teacher orientation or new teacher induction on Tuesdays so my first time ever making sub plans I did make some plans one time when I was student teaching but they weren't I don't know I didn't find it to be that hard but now that it's my classroom I feel like there's a lot to say I don't know who myself is gonna be I just know that the people that are in charge of new teacher induction kind of just I don't know made arranged made arrangements so do I have that I made to-do list I don't have that in my to-do list okay let's put that overall this week was a really good week I am pretty happy I hope you can tell but I tried to see the positive and everything because I truly truly truly love teaching like I can't picture myself doing anything else so every day I try to leave the classroom happy you're like if something went wrong I don't try to not focus so much than that and focus a lot more on the things I won right so I'm happy I feel like this week's vlog is gonna be just so like random just because I feel like a having gone a lot of footage of my week and if I have awesome if I didn't I'm so sorry I'll try harder next week since I don't know what else to talk about let's move on to shoutouts cuz I don't know if I did that last week okay so what I think I'm gonna do for shoutouts from now on is I'm gonna pick someone from Instagram and someone from YouTube but just because I also do get a lot of positive comments on YouTube so I want to acknowledge those as well okay so the first shoutout goes to emerald and she was super sweet and she sent me this photo on Instagram and it was her and her friend they were like having coffee or whatever and she's saying how like they're talking about my vlogs over coffee so that was really really cool that totally made my day so first shout-out goes to her thank you so much for your kind word next chata is also from Instagram and it goes to simply Lucero and she is also from Arizona she sent me this really really really sweet message that also made my day all these things really made my day it doesn't take much to make my day but I really really appreciate your messages so thank you for your kind words as well going back through my DMS on instagrams so and I do want to give a shout out to bright and bilingual she sent me a really sweet message on my first day of teaching so that was awesome sorry if I didn't acknowledge that before so the last video I posted was on Wednesday and it was my reflection on my first month of teaching and I actually got a lot of positive feedback on it so thank you so much to everybody for those positive comments but I do want to shout out she this person is not a teacher I actually kind of started talking to her back when I was a makeup Channel her name is Jenny and her channel is pretty girl Jenny - oh and she's just the sweetest girl ever she's super supportive she follow me even through the transition of makeup to like a teaching channel I guess so if you are interested in like makeup tutorials and stuff like that go check her out another shoutout goes to happily primary on YouTube she also left me a really sweet and encouraging comments on my reflection
