Love your videos! I am starting my Masters in Childhood Education and was just accepted into an intense two year student teaching program that ends up paying for my degree. Your videos help give me ideas for my future classroom. I'm excited to be working with my students!
I wait up every week (9pm Australian time) to watch your Saturday and Sunday videos and it is the best part of my week! Can't wait for your three blogs a week over your summer period!
One of teachers I worked for gave away lots of old teaching books she wasn't going to use next year. The kids loved it and kept showing me what they got. They thought it was the coolest and some wanted to play school with them.
I'm now 16 years old and thought about my future a lot the past weeks. I know I'm still very young but I'm an anxious person in general so the future is something that really stresses me out. Anyways, I always loved the idea of being a teacher (even played 'school' with my sister on the weekends and made her worksheets), and your channel really makes me look forward to pursue a career in teaching:) I love how you show your live as a teacher and it makes me excited for my future!(Me, one of the most anxious persons you'll ever find concerning their future...). Long story short: I just wanted to say thank you for inspiring me:) (Also sorry for any mistakes. I'm from Germany and always try to improve my English.)
Thank you for these ideas! I especially love how you have little one-on-one chats with your students during the movie time! I never thought about doing that and I think it's something very special that the students will think about all summer. ❤️ Also, my boyfriend (who isn't a teacher) always watches your videos with me because I put them on the TV while he's playing computer games. I told him today that we were the same age, and he said, "She is?? I always thought she was a really seasoned teacher! She seems so put together!" I thought you'd like that!
I read the book My Teacher's Secret Life with them and then they write stories about what they think my secret life would be. I print them out every year and put them in a binder and add them to my class library. The next class loves reading them!
Yay for shaving cream! In the first grade, We practiced our weekly spelling words in shaving cream on the desk. (And the room smell so fresh and clean. Lol)
Wow. Almost 70 videos! That's amazing. Great ideas. I am pumped up about your summertime videos. I'm planning to email you a compiled list of ideas I've been thinking about! Keep up the good work, Supergirl. We're all very impressed! !!!
Freshman here becoming a sophomore this fall, love your videos too! Unfortunately for us, this time of the year is so darn stressful due to finals, but luckily tomorrow is our last day of finals, then I'm out of that prison (yes, our school actually does look like a prison lmao).
I love your videos! Thank you for sharing all these end of year games. I am looking forward to using them next year in my first year classroom. Thank you agin for making these videos, I have learned so much from you. 😄
Happy end of the year!!!! So happy to see a fellow teacher on UA-cam!!! My bestie/partner teacher and I are starting a teacher channel as well! Can't wait to see all the wonderful things you upload. You have the positive attitude that we love!!! We both watch your videos and think "we would def be teacher friends" LOL Good luck on your job search and move!!! 💗
Great ideas! I can't wait to try some of them! Each year I do a "Game Day" with my students and they absolutely love it! I put together a Jeopardy game with trivia questions from all our favorite read alouds from the year, and my students bring board games and card games from home to teach to their classmates.
For movie day you could play the movie Paper Planes, and then a few days later have them making the planes for P. Would be a great link for the competition part.
My senior year of high school my teacher counted down the end of the year by having balloons then in each balloon had a paper which was a book (it was children Greek books) and each day we either read it together or alone then did a little summary on it or a discussion on what happened it was so cool
I was alot like the little boy you mentioned with the more mature sense of humor. That was one of the things my 1st grade teacher said about me iroincially.
I love love LOVE all these end of the year ideas! I've done a Z-A countdown, and also I've read "Last Day Blues", but I especially appreciate your new ideas, like the shaving cream thing :) Hah! Looks like fun! Keep these awesome videos coming :)
When I was in elementary like 25 years ago..... 😫....... All we did the last week of school was watch movies. It was so much fun! Half the class wouldn't even show up that week and just took an early summer vaca. I miss it. Lol
Amazing ideas thank you so much for sharing these with us. I love the airplane stem idea. I also love the video DVD idea. I will definitely be doing these next year. My students did art and a memory book for our last days of school. Again thank you for your wonderful videos and the amazing content.
I'm 11 and Ive went past a lot of drama... (And no I wasn't abused) I am very smart in every subject except for Irish xD This made me think I might want to become a teacher just wondering how long does it take in college?
Would have loved to see this video a few weeks ago when I was looking for ideas but I am glad I have some fun ideas for next year! I loved using shaving cream so have no idea why I did not do it this year!?
Hearing all of these great and fun ideas makes me a little depressed - the schools i've worked at would never allow most of these things. I don't know if maybe it is an Australian Curriculum thing, but we wouldn't be able to to use anything as a game unless we showed how it directly ties in with learning. We also wouldn't be able to use any food as a prop unless they were approved - students or teachers aren't even allowed to bring things such as cookies or m&ms in most schools. No shaving cream, no fun topics unless they are directly related to the curriculum in an integrated way. These are all great ideas - I wish I could use them! I might try and adapt some of the minute to win it concepts into literacy or integrated ICT to get them approved.
My first graders can only handle one round of shaving cream so I use 2 cans max. I agree that it is an engaging activity and a memorable one, too. I do this every year and they are always shocked that they get to have fun with shaving cream. :)
I know what you mean! Last year my kiddos each got like 5-6 rounds of shaving cream because they got along so well and were very respectful. My group this year... not so much! 😂 It is so worth it though and I know they always enjoy it!
Hi! Michelle, what camara do you use for your videos? I am looking to complete some training videos for the district but, I do not have a camara. Thank you!
I don't know if it is possible but I would love if you did a teacher tag with A Classroom Diva! You guys are so similar and I would love to see a video like that
Can you tell me which video you showed the Avery clear tabbed folder/ page protector things? I've gone through most of them and can't find it!!! Thanks!!!
Another good book is My Teacher's Secret Life by Stephen Krensky. I read the book to my students and they write a story about what they think my secret life is outside of school. They are very entertaining!!! Can you do a video about beginning of the year activities? I am always looking for more of those.
Love you, Michele! Keep up the PHENOMENAL work, be it as a super-duper teacher, UA-cam extraordinaire, or Teacher's Pay Teacher's graphic design and original content creator! You are seriously making me want to switch my Major and go into Kindergarten and Elementary Education instead! :-D P.S. I am an older student of 37-years old, married (19.5 years) w/ two thriving kids (son-18 yrs. old & daughter-12 yrs. old). Do you think the workload for Kindergarten and Elementary Education is "doable" at Uni as a degree choice (they ONLY offer Kindergarten and Elementary Education FULL-TIME at my local Uni)? Currently, I am a 2nd year (part-time) History Major. Also, I work part-time for exactly 20 hours per week. Thanks for your advice, Michele, or to anyone who wishes to respond back! :-D
Bookish Rainbow Hi there! I would speak with someone at your University about the major you are inquiring about switching to as far as coursework and the work load for that major! 😀 You are going to be an amazing teacher someday and you've got this! 😀 Any passion you have won't come easy, but it is worth it at the end! I will finish my Master's degree in Elementary Education in October and I have been greatly blessed throughout the experience! It wasn't easy, but it is well worth it! 😀
can you please do a tip video for people who going to become a teacher. i start college in 2 months. So please can you do it. im going for elementary education.
Love your videos! I am starting my Masters in Childhood Education and was just accepted into an intense two year student teaching program that ends up paying for my degree. Your videos help give me ideas for my future classroom. I'm excited to be working with my students!

Kim Haiser doesn't matter anyway, tomorrow's the queens birthday! A day off of school!
One of teachers I worked for gave away lots of old teaching books she wasn't going to use next year. The kids loved it and kept showing me what they got. They thought it was the coolest and some wanted to play school with them.
You are the sweetest teacher ever!!!

I love the way that you can relate to your students, even though they are a lot younger than you!

When I was in second grade my teacher put shaving cream on our desk once a week and we had to write our spelling words in it. It was awesome
Happy end of the year!!!! So happy to see a fellow teacher on UA-cam!!! My bestie/partner teacher and I are starting a teacher channel as well! Can't wait to see all the wonderful things you upload. You have the positive attitude that we love!!! We both watch your videos and think "we would def be teacher friends" LOL Good luck on your job search and move!!! 💗
Thank you for sharing these wonderful ideas with us! I will definitely try these ideas when I begin teaching in 2018! 😀
Great ideas! I can't wait to try some of them! Each year I do a "Game Day" with my students and they absolutely love it! I put together a Jeopardy game with trivia questions from all our favorite read alouds from the year, and my students bring board games and card games from home to teach to their classmates.
My students are a bit older, but some of these activities sound great! I'll have to try them this next school year!
I love watching your videos! I will miss the school day ones during the summer. I love your ideas and will definitely will try them out.
For movie day you could play the movie Paper Planes, and then a few days later have them making the planes for P. Would be a great link for the competition part.
Yea for early dismissals! You can do it! ❤️ and hugs from Missouri!

Your appearance looks great. No need to apologize.
I'd love to see a video on how to make an end of year dvd for the kids. Happy summer!
Awesome ideas! Can't wait to use some of these for the last 3 days
ITS MY B-DAY!!
Thanks for these awesome ideas!!! Love your videos!
Yes! Please an E book for your DVD would be awesome! Thank you!
I love your videos! They are great!
My 4th grade teacher did shaving cream on the desks. I think its amazing, and the rest of my classmates loved it!
These are great ideas! I can't wait to implement them!!

I would love to learn how to use iMovie to make a class DVD! Those stickers you put on the DVD are so cute! 😍
The shaving cream activity was my favorite as a kid! Probably won't be able to do this if I teach middle school :(
You'd be surprised! LOL
Christopher & Michelle Johnson Lol I'll keep it in my back pocket for ideas then!
