I can’t believe how few specials (aka unified arts) some schools have. In my school in Maine we have art, PE, music, foreign language (Spanish for the first trimester & Japanese the second), guidance, library, and a rotating schedule on Fridays between art, PE, music and SEL. Feeling very lucky to have a schedule like this and extra planning time with things like that! Thanks for your content as always, you’re awesome!
Hi I’m a first year teacher , should I start planning how my class should be in August or should I start early? I plan on seeing my classroom in the middle of July
Great first week vlog! Can’t believe our first week was over 7 weeks ago! The first week is always full of excitement and emotions! Awesome content as always! Thanks for sharing!! ❤
What a great 1st week vlog! It was not long at all. 🙂 I loved the building community and teamwork project where they created the longest chain. Being a K-5 Art teacher I always feel like I need to get started with content right away since I only see my students once a week for 40 minutes but I'm starting to realize how important doing these activities are. Thanks for sharing!! P.S. Will you be doing a Plan With Me vlog and sharing the planner/planbook you chose for this school year? I really enjoyed the one you made where you unboxed your Happy Planner. Just thought I'd ask. Have a wonderful year!!! 😊 Your room is so cozy!
Loved this vlog!! I was waiting for you to post your first week! It’s so inspiring to see you vlog and talk about it all!! Keep em coming!!💗 Hope you’re doing great!!!! :))
Hi, I'm Alicia from CT and love your channel. Its great to have an upper elementary UA-cam channel (there aren't many). Anyways I know you are busy with a baby and another on the way could you maybe please do a video on morning meeting? I'm trying to do that but I'm struggling with it. I'd appreciate it if it's not asking too much. Thank you. Alicia
Hi Kathy! Very fun first week, I love Foster the people too but I didn't know the song! I have a question for you or for anyone can give a piece of advise. I work as a private tutor and I have a 5th grader who's struggling with long division. He's getting confused if I ask, for instance, if 3 fits in to 20 - although he knows and he can say that 20 is bigger than 3. I also think that he may have A.D.D. but the parents haven't checked that yet. Any ideas?
@@KathyKellogg First of all, thank you for answering. Manipulatives huh? I was thinking about that for a long time. Since you suggests it, I' ll give it a try!
@@KathyKellogg I have probably had the same ones for 10 years! I never use them. I’ve been doing this going on 31 years. I teach Early Childhood Special Education 4 and 5 year olds. I needed to hear your words of encouragement today! Thank you! What we do is so different yet I live watching your channel. Keep it up!
I have a lil one and pray he has a teacher like you when he starts school. You’re so encouraging and care a lot about your students. Love it!! xx
Omg so sweet! Thank you for your kind words!! ❤❤
I love the way you decorated your classroom 💖
I love this

Yes!!! It is so important and I notice a huge difference in their team work and how they treat eachother ☺️ I can show in another vlog how I plan!
@@KathyKellogg it's never too late for me to do this activity 😉 thanks again!

In one of upcoming vlogs I show a little snippet I can go a little more in depth next time I vlog 🥰 Thanks so much Alicia!
I'm glad things seem to be going well at your new school in 5th grade, We don't have an art teacher, we have to teach it ourselves.
I wonder if that is typical in California! Thanks for sharing!! 🥰
MY FAVORITE PERSON!!!🥰🥰
😍😍😍
@@KathyKellogg 🥰🥰🥹
First week was chaotic!
I hope it has slowed down for you! 🥰❤️
@@KathyKellogg second week definitely has ❤️

Thank you! I love the stereotype remix ❤️ do you use manipulatives with him?

I know my daughter Julia started her first week and the first full week of school
Can you link us to her channel?
@@juliesal1747 I’ll see what I can do on Friday with help from my daughter Julia
Most California school don’t have specials, especially charter schools. You might have a P.E. and music teacher.
I had no idea!! Thanks! ☺️
No hair tie equals school rubber band for me. Lol
Haha I wish! I don't even have rubber bands in my room 😅
