So glad I’m not the only one that has done this exact thing with ramen lol
For things like salad I'll pick up the lettuce ect dip it into my dressing or dribble the dressing on the portion. For things like yogert or the like I use the lid folded once as a spoon.
Love it!
Use hands.
Clean your hands and eat with your hands easyyy ❤
Yup, done that and I use the yogurt/pudding lid folded to create a spoon.
Good thing you can't forget your hands
Go to cafateria
Sometimes you just don’t feel like it 🫠
For yogurt I just use the lid I make a u shape with it and just use it like a spoon
It's such a great skill to use chopsticks. You can use anything if you know how to work chopsticks. It's harder to find fork shaped objects around 😅
Just be warned! Those knives can cut deep if you aren’t carful.
uhhhhhhhh. don't mean to be dumb here but you know those are plastic butterknives right? -_- please tell me I'm the dum one here.
@@DUMS_personur not
I asked my friends if they’re gonna use their silverware packets if they’re a buyer if they say no, I’m like can I have it because I forgot my spoon
Put on a glove and use my hand
Use my fingers if I can or use whatever I can near me to fold into a spoon . Anything with a fork tho I gues is now finger food 😂
I’ve done that
You should do an update on this video since you have taught two years in HS.... My wife is working through this deicision.
If you forgot a fork and a spoon, why would you have 2 knives?
I always have extra knives because they come in sets and I never use them.
Can u not borrow it from school cafeteria?
Not if I have 2 knives to eat with 🙃 The cafeteria is a busy, noisy place. I’ll avoid it if I can!
@@teachingwithalexa fair enough, maybe get disposable cutlery to store in your room draw? or to keep in your bag or car? It's good to use the reusable but if u forget it can be a little backup, u can get somewhat eco friendly ones now, but it depends if u wanna spend your money on that or just remember XD <3 - with love, i don't mean to badger you, I'm a little autistic and can get carried away
I've done that! The knives are always the last to go in the pack...🤣
I know right! I never use them unless it’s for moments like this 😝
HAND
Ha! I’ve been there.
Your personality is everything! 🎉
😂Well thanks!
I was tempted to react to this 😂😂😂 I can’t argue, that’s pretty good! Admin approved! (As long as it ties in to your standards and hopefully your current unit!!! 😂😂😂😅) Hope all is well!
Well a principal’s reaction to any teacher hack or trick is priceless! The cards are a great idea, especially if there are tech issues or a plan isn’t going…as planned. When it comes to educational content, I don’t like shorts. You do not get a chance to go into detail.
Good luck with all that!
Lol.
wait so what are the bulbs for?
yeah, this is my exact question
This is why I much prefer long form content. The snowmen (lol) are for random student selection. Usually I would use a post it or something. Just keep it there for the next random moment you want to select students. “Hacks” aren’t aren’t perfect, but this works if delivered well. Students tend to lean into the element of surprise.

@ cool!! thank you for replying 🫶
This is great. I’m going to introduce this semester 2.
Yes, just be consistent with it & time them for EXACTLY what they earn. Not a second more. It’s not to be mean, it just works out best that way in my experience. It makes them want the extra minute(s).
Super helpful for this high school teacher possibly looking to take on two sections of 6th grade English. I teach at American schools outside of the US (currently in The Netherlands) and am so sad that the violence or threat of violence is such a reality for you and teachers in the US. I taught at a charter school in SW Florida from 2004-2017 and didn't feel that, but the country has grown angrier and more divided recently. Keep it up - you seem like an awesome member of our teaching community!
Thank you! Your job sounds like quite an experience. I used to teach English in China where I felt highly respected and was paid well. What a wake up call when I began teaching here! It’s not terrible, just different. I do not feel highly respected by society.
Hi Alexa, thanks so much for your update. I’ll be going for LASIK in a couple weeks and I was just wondering if you know if you had a completely bladeless procedure? And I was just curious how your night driving is?
Mine was bladeless and it did not help with the blurriness of lights at night. I can see signs better since I now see 20/20, so you could say my night vision is slightly better. Good luck!
Best gift ever.
This is a great gift!!
It really is. A block off between semesters will be super helpful. Santa came 🎅
Cool!
😁😁
My teacher hates when I have toys at school
👀Do you let them distract you from learning, let’s be real. Haha, every teacher is different.
Oh, btw, since you have some free time, I was wandering if you'd do me a favor? 😊
Haha I don’t see that happening, but I know what you mean! 😂
Hello, I am 21 and deciding what to do with my life. I don't know whether to be a history teacher or something else in the history field. I am enjoying watching your videos and they are helping me add a lot of pros to my to be a teacher list.
All I can say is that being a teacher is half teaching and half classroom management. You also truly need to enjoy the energy of kids. I would suggest subbing if you are not already. Get your feet wet. Best of luck!
@ thank you so much for replying
Great review!
I am so glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for posting this. I need some ideas. Our classes are too long for kids to just sit.
You look like my mentor teachers doppelgänger
Teachers are not “the problem.” However, of all the factors that affect student outcomes, the quality of the teacher remains the number one factor. Like you, I know that in high school, it is extremely difficult to overcome learning gaps caused by a lack of fundamental literacy skills, but nevertheless we have to try. I think your frustration is common and this is becoming a nationwide problem that some schools are trying to address earlier on in students’ schooling (new science of reading training, etc). I know you are having a positive impact on the skills of your students! 👍
Accurate! 😂
Lol that’s so great! Days like this I miss about teaching 😂
Wow, you are gorgeous. I couldn't focus on the subject at hand 😂
Coming from a student, we love these days too
