Great questions! I don’t have much in the month folders - just things I use every year. For example, in August I might have a welcome letter and a first day activity. Then I use the date folders when I’m planning each week or so. I just dump the worksheets for that day in the corresponding numbered folder. Nothing carries over in the number folders since those get reused every month. Hope that answers your question! If not, feel free to reply back and I’ll do my best to clarify. Thanks for watching! 🌻

That’s so kind of you to say! Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment - I really appreciate it. 🌻

Oh great question! Sometimes I skip it if it’s not essential, but often I just shift things forward another day. If it was more of a review type assignment, sometimes I even stick it in my emergency sub folder for the students to do another day. Here’s a video that explains my process for extra materials: ua-cam.com/video/gTwRtSaBAO8/v-deo.htmlsi=-xIN9Ee_limIqPRp. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! 🌻

Oh my goodness your comment made my day! Thank you so much for your kind words and welcome to our community! ☺️🌻

She’s one of my colleagues who sometimes pops into videos and podcasts. And I pretty much copy everything she does at school. 😆

@@TheTimeCrunchedTeacher Love that!

🐹 😆

Thank you! 🌻☺️

That’s awesome to hear! Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment - I really appreciate it!🌻

Thank you so much for your kind words - I definitely learned from the best! And probably should have given you credit for half the ideas I mentioned in this video. Lol. Okay, 80% credit!

Ha! Well we’ve seen our fair share of portfolios back in the day. 😆

Oh thank you so much! I appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment. 🌻🪴

Haha! I mean, how many white shirts does one need? Apparently only one in my case.

That’s awesome! Yeah, out of all my productivity systems this is actually one of the few I use every day. Glad it could be helpful and thanks for watching and commenting! 💕

My pleasure! Thanks for watching and have a great summer! 🌻

Thank you! 💕

Oh that’s so kind of you to say. Thank you. 💕 And good job on the multiple grade levels! That’s awesome. 🙌🏼

That's so kind of you to say! Thank you for watching and commenting. 💕

So glad you found it helpful! Thanks for watching and commenting. 💕

So glad you liked it! 💗

Thank you so much - that’s so kind of you to say! Good luck on the interviews and feel free to update me on your placement/grade. So exciting! 🙌🏼

Thanks for asking! Here's a video I filmed at the beginning of the year when I was setting up the classroom: ua-cam.com/video/Q6lFJdH325Y/v-deo.htmlsi=yldZg60_bXgNgeGf.

My pleasure! Glad you found it useful. 🌻

Good catch! I haven’t made that video yet, but I probably should! Here are the sections I have on my single page resume: Contact Info, Profile (a brief overview of my qualifications), Education (degrees and certifications), Experience (work history with a few bullet points per position), and Professional Skills (a list with things like “Teacher Mentoring” and “Video Tutorial Creation” and “Engaging Lesson Design”). I hope that helps a little. Thanks for watching and commenting. I really appreciate it! 💕

My pleasure! Glad you found it helpful. 💕

Thanks for watching and commenting! I actually looked up the term safeguarding because I wasn’t familiar with it used in this context. If I’m interpreting it correctly, it sounds like it’s similar to our SEL curriculum. Personally, this is more built into my classroom management plan, which I touched on briefly in my portfolio video. But you’re right, it’s fundamental to supporting children and building a positive classroom environment. I’m not sure if I’m interpreting the term correctly though, so feel free to offer some guidance as I’d love to learn more! Thanks again for your comment! 💕

@@TheTimeCrunchedTeacher no safeguarding is the staff standards/practices of keeping the children safe. Like no teacher should ever be alone with a student, no hugging, no secrets, report all behaviours/incidents to the safeguarding lead... like a plan to protect. They are HUGE on that here in the UK. Rightfully so!

Oh that makes sense! I could see that coming up in an interview in the states, but we also have specific laws and policies around that and have to get certified in trainings every year for child protection and reporting. It’s part of the on boarding process for each school and district to confirm that every employee understands and will follow the process and is usually reviewed at the beginning of each school year. But it sounds like that’s part of the actual interview process in the UK. I’d be curious to learn more how other countries and areas conduct their interviews as I’ve only taught in CA. Thanks for sharing your insight!

@@TheTimeCrunchedTeacher yes, we undergo training as well, the questions are to see how safe potential teachers think on their feet, how successfully can they problem solve to safeguarding standards. It is the major focus over here (kid safety).

Thanks! UA-cam recently disabled links in Shorts comments and video descriptions, so you’ll just need to copy and paste the link instead. I posted it as a comment and in the description box. Hope that helps!

Great question! I’d focus on your coursework and any feedback or reviews you’ve had. You can also include lessons you’ve created, even if they have just been for the program and not taught in the classroom yet. And if you can get any letters of rec, that would actually work to your benefit in this case. Hope that answers your question and is helpful. Thanks for watching and commenting! 💕

Absolutely! I only use copies for all of my portfolio documents. They won’t need the originals until you are hired.

That’s a very kind compliment - thank you! ☺️

@@TheTimeCrunchedTeacher a pleasure.

Great question! We start at the end of August and end at the beginning of June, so July is really the only month I don’t teach (unless I’m teaching summer school - which sometimes I do). But you don’t have to have all 12 months if you don’t want to. Thanks for watching and commenting! 💕

Great question! My current 5 grade class I teach all of the subjects (with a few release classes like Art - which is taught by someone else). However, I’ve also taught middle school where the students rotate through the teachers. Personally, I prefer teaching all the subjects to one group of students. The trade off is it means I have to do more lesson planning. When you teach middle school, you can teach the same lesson to different sections. However, the trade off there is that you’re likely to have a lot more students per section and overall - which can make for more grading. I enjoyed both, so it’s really up to personal preference. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! 💕

Oh my goodness your comment made my day! Thank you so much for your kind words. 🥰 We love our speech-language pathologists at our district - they do such amazing work. I’m sure you will do a fantastic job in the classroom with your skill set. I’ve been taking a break from filming to focus on my students, but I plan on getting more videos made soon! Thanks for your support and let me know how the job hunting goes. 💕

Strangely enough I think it was a craft store like Michael’s or something. Sorry, it was a few years ago and I don’t quite remember. But I see them at Target and Costco a lot! Thanks for watching. 💕

Oh absolutely! I don’t know how anyone can carry those teacher bags. Thanks for watching and commenting! 💕

Ha! Thanks for laughing along with this hot mess! 😆

Oh thank you! I’m pretty sure I got it at Michael’s (yes, the craft store) during Pride month. But I bet you could find similar designs out there. Yay for 5th grade! You’re going to love it! 🥰

It usually works better with kids than it does with dogs. 😆

I mean...sometimes they need a lift too. 😜

I sure did... LOL@@TheTimeCrunchedTeacher

You're vey welcome! 💗

My pleasure! Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. 🌻

Yay that’s awesome! Btw I’m totally going to share your resources/channel with the bilingual educators at my school. Thank YOU! 💕

Haha! I’m at the point where I’ll try just about anything to keep from getting sick. Yay! A fellow Californian! 🏖️☀️

Thank you so much! I'm so lucky that it can produce through the entire year. 🌻

Right?! Nothing like having a little creature sneeze directly in your eyeballs to make you want to figure out some preventative measures. 😆😷

Oh good point! ☔️ I usually just throw a garbage bag ontop of my cart which makes it even uglier - as if that’s even possible! 😂
