Stress is kicking in!//Teacher Life S1E2//5th Grade Teacher

[Music] it's not a monday when your thing falls down okay so i'll try to put it back on but i have really no hope since it's really really hot in texas right now especially in houston so it just might be the heat let's try and put it back on so yeah i i guess oh my goodness i'm so glad i didn't put like an affirmation station because that would never would have held up all right so i brought some things but i need to go get some more things in the car let's go okay i'm back so because we don't have school supplies yet i had to buy some myself from walmart luckily because it's like after back to school season they were 50 cents each so i got like i don't know 10 for five bucks then i bought these rectangular there's a little label right here id latch no idea what i'm going to use it for i bought my book bag did i read over the weekend nope some water here's my mini trash can so that way um i don't have to go to the trash can over there sometimes brought my binders back i brought my um a4 on the leg pack and that's pretty much it i'm gonna go ahead and go to the computer lab so i can print a few things but it's nothing major i have all of my copies ready i just need to print one more thing before the kids coming good morning guys today is monday august 30th i'm wearing my longhorn represent i'm just quickly signing into my google slides i brought a couple things i'm going to be working as i talk to you guys right now what i want to do for the morning i have a cup about like 10 minutes i want to go ahead and just um put like my to file away just because i need to i have a lot of stuff packing up like filing up so i want to go ahead and put like this away and these things away so i'm gonna go ahead and do that now and i'm gonna show you guys [Music] do [Music] so my voice is kind of back so what i'm doing is i'm attaching a string to my morning to my book checkout so that way the kids don't um erase their book check out they're supposed to like actually make a new one so i'm just hopefully i'm not the best at tying logs and i really don't know how this is supposed to help but you know what i'm gonna try so we'll see what happens um my pens i'm gonna put in my closet just because we don't really need them right now because i mean there's no parents coming in they are coming in for to like pick up their kid but like it's not like they're not staying so they don't they just need to sign out their kid and that's it and i went ahead and just made that a little bit easier for them so that's what it looks like will it hold who knows maybe maybe not maybe let's see okay so everything's good i put their half sheet of paper for their morning journals i'm gonna go ahead and give the rest of the journals to my other home room or my other room or my other class and that'll be it and then we can officially start so my homeroom kind of already started but i kind of like been holding off on them just because i wanted both of the classes to be on the same page and right now they're not because my second home room doesn't even have their notebooks or their journals because again school supplies not here yet i'm gonna ask the nurse like if there's an update on that because like we can't go on for much longer like we're about to start content like we need school supplies we need scissors we need like this stuff so we'll see what happens all right i will talk to you guys later it is currently 7 34 which means kids are about to come inside and i will see you guys probably at the end of the day bye-bye [Music] all right guys so i'm in the computer lab not the computer lab the printer area but i want to go ahead and show you again this is my electronic uh hole punch three hole punch and this is the parent communication form i don't think like i did this is super simple i made this on google slides but basically it's the mom's number dad's number language like what they speak whether english or spanish and this is the info so phone text email no conference initiated by uh maybe it could be the principal oh what is that oh he's a dust on me ill oh no i know what that is that's ink from the pen that i was using to make sure it still had ink i'm telling you guys my hands are just like all over the place but yes so this is what i wanted to use and then notes for no area so i'm going to go ahead and do this and then we get out of here all right guys i'll see you guys in a minute [Music] okay guys so i'm about to leave but this is how i'm leaving it i mean pretty good so far i'm taking that stuff home to work on it but tomorrow my goal is i want to try and get this done i already started putting up three i just need to like measure how much i want each and having here the rest right here so tomorrow during dismissal i'm gonna try and get a couple students to help me with this to like make sure i'm even so i can start putting my academic vocabulary up but i'm thinking about doing like one two three four five six um and then six down here six down here and then maybe six down here so overall i can feel like i don't know what six times four twenty four so 24 i should have 36 so i think that should be good maybe i can even do more but i might have to scoot that one down maybe fit five we'll find out all right so i'm gonna go ahead and leave before they kick me out my library look good i mean i think these came really proud of my kids look at these like i haven't had a chance to like look at this and right now first impressions very impressed they're keeping up with the challenge books i'm very very impressed guys i mean so far my classroom looks clean i'm about to do this but i do need one more set of these i just haven't had a chance to buy them yet this fell down this morning probably will not stay up but we'll find out yeah so i'm gonna go ahead and leave and get out of here bye guys well hello good morning guys it is tuesday don't mind my huge pimple right here i have really bad hormonal acne so and then mask they're not really helping so i'm just trying to live through that life but i want to show you guys a couple things before i want to go ahead and try to fix some things around the room uh from my amazon wishlist i did get more screen protectors for not screen protectors sheet protectors for the students uh this was from emmy and emmy also did she also did find me some more of the paper made pencil erasers like the pencil toppers so thank you so much emmy uh you didn't leave a last name and you didn't really you didn't leave an instagram so uh if you follow me through youtube thank you so so much leave a comment down below so you know i can personally wish um thank you again thank you guys and for any gifts that you guys supply me and my students um i mean it just feels wonderful so i want to go ahead and show you what else i brought okay so i went ahead and i made some labels for my supplies so i made academic labels these this one is for my um my units like the labels i have pencils i have erasers um one of the comments on my i think classroom setup maybe like day six or seven or maybe it was my classroom tour she said that i had spelled velcro wrong i put vel ko instead of velcro so i fixed it um for my sterilite bins like my flip tops i have cleaning items i have expo and downey just i guess i couldn't really think about it i have very erase markers and then i noticed decor posters when i was like look when i was trying to do this one i realized that it was off center so i'm gonna see if it's off centered then i looked back at my classroom tour and i was like okay is it off centered and it was so i fixed it and i'm gonna show you that what i mean in just a second so i can put this up as well all right let's go to the closet we're in the closet all right do you guys see what i mean look it's like this is smaller than this side and i didn't notice that until it it like i noticed it so i want to see i kind of just penciled it in like a kind of i don't know if i'll feel let me see i think it's the same measurement hey look at that i love when things fit guys all right so i'm gonna go ahead and uh fix all this all right give me a second [Music] okay so update so these are just the i just have one more cleaning items but the ones over by my desk so i have dry erase markers i've put my academic labels this one is empty but this one's our pencils perfect fit like so this one and this one are the same size perfect the core posters there nothing here this is where printer paper is supposed to go but um i have none put my construction paper back what else i put erasers up here i fixed the velcro i put all of the other eraser toppers in here so perfect fit i guess i need to make another one for glue but i already have like a ton of glue i don't need any more glue kids i need scissors i don't have any scissors look you can tell like scissors nothing um i put expo at downy so in here again i have like my expo extra i like like um felt pads in here and then i have my xbow planner cleaner i don't know why i keep mispronouncing that and my downy and oh guys quick update this is still on hasn't fallen quick update on the whiteboard i think maybe it just had to get used to [Music] being written on because now when i write on it it does seem to erase pretty well it's still not the best but it's better so i need to find more markers because i only have one that is not dried out so i need to find some more right there let me go let me go fix them out [Music] all right guys so i'm pretty much done with that i'm going to put back my tape okay so i have finished putting all of these student information into the bins the only thing i need to work on is i'm gonna see if i can show you without showing you okay so here is my data this has a student name on it okay this is the data form that i'm going to be using i made this by myself now the only thing is i hope punched it on the wrong side so i want to hold punch it on this side and on this side that way i can like flip it when the time comes i originally was just gonna do this side this side but i messed it up and i was like you know what i'm not printing all of these again i'm not doing that so i'm just gonna do it on both sides and that'll be it so i'm gonna go ahead and do that now before the kids come about 15 minutes and then i'll just teach and then i'll catch you guys probably at the end of the day bye [Music] so [Music] all right guys so quick update so i decided to do five and then four i could fit a lot more but i don't want it to look overwhelming to the kids now that i think about it i should have shifted everything down no i think it's fine what do you guys think that's a really big space but if i put another one like if i do this one i mean i could i guess yeah i could but for right now that's what okay i can't do this one-handed but i'm going to show you again yeah i like it yeah again i don't want to look too overwhelming i am going to put one more here one more there and two more right there but i ran out of the little push pins like the clip-ons so i need to buy some more from amazon that should be here in two days and then i'll finish the rest i am going to take the cards down because these are actually not the cards that i want to put on um they're more like these right here like these cards i want to put these cards but like these we can't get to it until we like um get to like literacy like that we don't learn until like december or something like that like this we're learning right now so this is a good one but so stuff i can't really put on but like this one we don't until like october so i want to wait till we actually learn it to put it on here so that way we um it looks good already okay so let's do a check around the room library um oh my goodness what seriously my big what i have this book this is even my book i don't remember no yeah that's mine huh i don't remember this book let me put it here okay i need to remind the kids to like keep this a little bit more organized so that it doesn't oh lord i'm going to work oh not many words okay sorry guys okay um that's looking good i changed the date on the board it is now officially september um i think that's pretty much it this looks good i did these labels today and i did a couple labels up there so i want to go ahead okay yeah i really like that i think that looks super good guys let me know if i should put one more down there or if i should just keep it five and four i think that looks pretty good so far so i'm gonna go ahead i'm gonna organize a couple things here and then i'm going to leave out the door bye guys [Music] all right guys quick update isn't that so cute i just got that today and that was from like i think the last week this was from one of my former students she's in sixth grade now and then i have this cute little one that i got last week it's now time to change my baby yoda all righty baby yoda is all good to go september all right oh gotta change that real quick this is actually a great system guys like i don't know why i didn't think about this yesterday or i meant last year this is absolutely fantastic and i like that and not the push lights because i don't want the batteries to die and this will never die so i really like this system um i love the way the the students are grouped in twos and i have one three right there because i do have 25 students uh in one homeroom and the other is 22. that looks great i just need to i think i've decided to add another one down there but i need to buy more of those clips all right let me go ahead let me work on my student information binder because i just got one more student information sheet and then i'll be it now i'm gonna go [Music] good morning guys sorry you're gonna hear some noise all right so today they're taking their science baseline i only have a couple minutes i came in a little bit late because since i stay late i don't want to come in early so i don't come in late i come in on time like at 7 20 my reporting time is 7 30 so i have like i'm here um it is currently 7 40 the principal's having like a meeting right now so she's not opening the doors until she's done with that meeting but because she loves to greet the students but we're about to open them in like three minutes so today they're taking their signs benchmark we're answering a couple of the questions on the um of the first video game passage we they've been doing pretty good on that it's just that because they're testing i don't want to like teach them like reading strategies just because i know they're not going to listen because they're so tired from testing basically all week so i already know that it's science which is super hard for them so i know they're not gonna really listen um to me as i teach so i to make sure that i'm giving them stuff that's educational so i've been doing lots of puzzles so like word searches crosswords um like an unscramble game and it's actually been like really good but today i actually do want to go ahead and work with them on the reading comprehension i know they're not going to like it but we have to get started for their warm-up today last year i discovered that they don't know their alphabet some do some do they do know they know the alphabet they know a b c d e f g but they don't know the order of the alphabet because i would put their spelling homework i would say okay put this put these 20 words in alphabet order really i was very shocked last year guys do not ever assume because you will be very disappointed like i said on my last vlog um so today i'm going to teach them all this purpose again cake i'm going to teach them the alphabet just the review and then that should be pretty good and then today i'm going to give them um the homework of what was the homework oh it was the homework of putting these words into alphabet into like you know what i mean like alphabet order so i went ahead and i bought uh on the tpt uh sale yesterday i bought like these cool little uh daily what's it called like daily review so it's like a daily warm-up like a bell ringer or a morning work this is from the creator teaching with a mountain view i'm going to show you guys oh i don't know if you guys can see that can you see that teaching with a mountain view so i bought two of her bundles i bought the the daily teeks no the daily like reading skills and then the other one was a daily review so this one is going to be for your bell ringers and the other one is more like reading comprehension and like focusing on this but a lot more like intense so i went ahead you saw me just pass out these all right so there's a lot of people talking so i'm gonna go ahead and talk to you guys at four when everyone is gone dismissal is gonna be a little bit of hassle because the parents are not coming in anymore we're actually doing pick my kids and it's actually really annoying pick my kids like i hate it i hate dismissal but the kids have been doing good during dismissal i let them talk but they have to be a level one and they have to sit they can't be up they can't talk very loudly so they've been they've been doing they've been doing good on that but you know i gotta keep it up and then today we'll see what happens with dismissal all right let's see if i survive i'll see you guys at four bye-bye okay guys so i know you can't see my face but i went ahead and brought another of the blue bins right here so i can put the rest of the non-curved blending here and i am going to go through them again just to make sure there is nothing in here that i want to put up here but mostly this is just repeat stuff but i'm going to go ahead and put this in here okay so let me go ahead and show you guys what i mean by repeats i mean look at this i can't give these to the kids we don't have a class set i have seven of these but they're all the same thing look but i i have one right here like right there that one's that one is this one so i have only eight of these and this one is really good like i really like this sorry that's the lunch lady i really like this but i'm not gonna give it to a small group because i can't like these are for the teachers these aren't for the students so you know this is what i mean by repeats and you know just you know what do i do with all these repeats hi guys okay it is my planning time uh if you hear noise that's the other classroom so this is kind of like what it sounds like on a normal day including my class talking right now it's not that bad but like sometimes it gets really bad but i'm gonna go ahead i have my uh answer sheet right here and i have all of the kids their answer documents so i'm gonna go ahead and grade them and hopefully you guys can't see the names if not i'll just blur them out but i try to position you guys in a way that you can see but you cannot see the names alright let's go [Music] okay so i don't know if you can hear me i am continuing to check their voi their baseline test oh my god [Music] i am exhausted so dismissal it was a crap show oh my god like so many things went wrong like the kids finally grew into routine of dismissal because i let them talk as long as they're not too loud but this oh my god like then the principal tried to implement dear time it did not work and i try to implement it but no so we're just gonna go back to what i was doing where they just were quiet and bye okay so i'm back so i'm gonna go ahead and just continue doing this and then i'll yo i don't need any more noises okay like i said i'm going to continue and then i'll show you guys around the room show you guys what i'm doing and things like that all right i'll see you on a minute [Music] [Applause] all right y'all i'm frustrated like no wonder people would say it's acne that makes people leave because i try to make confidence of this thing that i found on tpt i already told you guys about it but the printer does not have any toner and that's our only printer we don't have any more we have another printer in the in the front office but we cannot use it because that is the front office there we only have two printers from the school like yo what do i do so i can't make any copies oh my god and all this noise i'm frustrated and today i had to like not yell at the kids but i was just disappointed in one student because like he knows better and the fact that he's not doing like like he was a kicker last year he was a hitter he used to say really bad words and this year i told him my expectations i told him all the rules and i keep consisting like telling him and i showed him what the behavior and he's doing good but like there are moments where he has those urges to kick and punch and fight and i saw him hit a girl but the girl hit him first so and i talked to the girl too and i talked to him too so it's like like like oh but i did talk to him and he seems to understand what's going on so i'm gonna go ahead and clean up here because my room my desk is a hot mess i'm gonna show you guys i'm gonna get out of here because i'm a little upset that i can't make copies like what how what like okay like i'm not gonna do it virtually how do you want me to do this okay let me show you okay this is my room let me go ahead and turn this off [Music] oh gosh come on y'all y'all look okay an apple from god knows what y'all y'all see i don't drink water i need to all right let me tell you something guys all right so try not to
