    I am also moving and working at a new school in the fall. When I packed my classroom, since I knew I was going to buy new stuff anyway, I picked one student to give most of my supplies to. She is the one that has the most need for it, but she also happens to be the most deserving of it. I had never seen her so happy! She left with enough to keep her busy for the summer and extra for the new school year!!! 💜

    I love watching your videos! I just finished up teaching Kindergarten for the year and wanted to share a tip for packing up. I also agree that masking tape tends to get baked on so we started just writing with a sharpie on the table itself so you don't have to buy anything. The permanent marker will come off with a magic eraser. If there is still a little residue you can write over top of the permanent marker with a dry erase marker and it looks brand new. Not sure everyone can do this, but it has saved myself and the other teachers in my building time and money. Hope you have a good end of the year and I look forward to seeing where your new adventure takes you.

    I love your shower cap suggestion. I would never have thought of that, but it makes so much sense and I will definitely be utilizing that in the future. You are so organized and creative.

  • @GlitterandJams
    @GlitterandJams 7 років тому

    I really enjoyed your video. I already do many of the things you mentioned, but there were a few new ones I hadn't thought of. People always think I'm crazy for doing next year's copying at the end of the year, but the line for the copier is INSANE at the beginning of school and I have better things to do. I always prep things during summer school. It makes things SO much easier for the following year. I have painter's tape on my list. Great tip! Thanks for sharing! ❤️ and hugs from Missouri!

    @angieb7733 7 років тому

    When I was in elementary school, the teachers would sometimes give away their extra things to us kids at the end of the year. I remember getting posters and such from some of my teachers and it was so exciting to me as a young teacher wannabe! :)

    I found you channel about 3 weeks ago, and I've watched every single one of them ... not joking here ... I am a college student, not planning on becoming a teacher, planning on becoming a dietitian. But I must say, I really wish I had a teacher like you that I could go back to and visit even today and talk to about life. You seem like such a genuine and caring person and that can't be said about some of the teachers I've been with. Keep up the good work :) Enjoy your summer :P As your getting ready to pack up and leave, I'm prepping for finals. Wish me luck :P

    Thanks so much for all your hard work Michelle, cannot wait for the un-veiling of your room in your new school. You're nearly at the finish line girl, keep going. I'm not finished school with my kiddos until June 30th, very jealous of you guys in the USA xx

  • @amandafowler1165

    This is perfect timing! The last day for kids is June 1st. I just found out I am looping up to fifth grade with my kids. This means I have to move my room on Friday. We also get a check list from our admin and have to turn it in on the last day.

  • @noHannah.askMama
    @noHannah.askMama 7 років тому +5

    Those large and extra large ziplock bags are perfect for storing extra clothes for students. Ask parents to send in a change of clothes. Put the clothes in those Ziploc bags and label with the child's name. When a change is needed, the wet clothes are sealed away and sent home. No smell! I even ask for clothes in 2nd grade because kids jump in puddles or spill food on themselves or get sick. Extra clothes are not just for bathroom accidents.

    those large storage bags are amazing. I use them to store large bulletin board pieces. I slip a hanger through the handle so I can hang the bag up. I reinforce the seams with duct tape from dollar tree.

  • @christinec112
    @christinec112 7 років тому

    Great video! I took notes on the student jobs portion. Another thing i have my kids do is wipe down my small dry erase boards. Hand sanitizer usually does the trick on stubborn marks!

  • @planreadteach5512
    @planreadteach5512 7 років тому

    We are done June 23. I'm changing grade levels, but probably not rooms. I have started to pack away 2nd grade things I won't need for next year- without the kids noticing a change in the room. We have a end-of-year checklist and must make a map for the custodians. I've had an "essentials" box for years. I leave it on the top of all the boxes and mark it clearly so I can get to it as soon as I am able to get back in.

  • @susanclose7557
    @susanclose7557 7 років тому

    Great ideas. Student last day is May 31 and mine is June 1. I am fortunate because I can go in and work all I want all summer long. The janitor knows to clean all the other rooms first because I will be there for a while after school lets out. It just gives me time to quietly work on new ideas for next year. Things are always changing and I try to improve for every year. When will you know where you will be teaching next year?

  • @zelmaa5736
    @zelmaa5736 7 років тому

    Hey Michelle, I'm a middle school teacher in Germany, but I'll probably move to the states in the next few years with my American boyfriend. I was wondering whether I'd be able to teach in the us or what the requirements for a teacher are over there? I'd really appreciate your reply :)

    • @utfan0899
      @utfan0899 7 років тому

      Littlehell7 the requirements are different in every state. if you want to do private school, most only require a degree in what you want to teach. public schools require you to be state certified and that requires you to take tests to assess your content knowledge. You also have to have at least a bachelor's in most states, some require a master's degree. also sorry for the terrible formatting and bad grammar, I'm on mobile. 😀

    • @elvistheblackcat123

    • @utfan0899
      @utfan0899 7 років тому

      Littlehell7 depending on the state you may just have to take some tests to become certified in that state. I recommend doing research online depending on the state(s) you're interested in.
