It's good to hear you are not carrying work back and forth! Leave your work at work as much as possible! A great way to balance Teaching with an actual Life! :)
I just got hired as a Kinder teacher! I’m a little intimidated coming in mid year but I’m so glad I found your channel so I can get all the advice I can!
When I need pockets in a binder; I put clear sheet protectors in the binder and then put my papers in these. I use clear sheet protectors in everything at school ... Keep up the great content.
I have a lot of odd stuff in my teacher bag😂 I use the epic reading website for a listening center. It’s free and the books that say read to me have audio and an ebook. I just made a collection of those books and the kids listen to them there on their chrome books. It’s great because there’s no cds or cassettes to mess with.
+steph108 I love epic But we don’t have chromebooks. Just kindles, and the app isn’t compatible with kindles, and our WiFi is so unreliable, that it wouldn’t work to use the browser for epic
I just excepted a position to be a teachers assistant in a deaf resource room at an elementary school. I wasn’t sure if I need a teachers bag or what do you even put in it. So my mom thought it was a good idea if I go ahead and get a teachers bag. So she found a tote bag we both liked on Pinterest. So she is going to have my grandma make it for me and I found a really cute pencil pouch on Pinterest too that says teach on it and the letters of the word teach are made out of different office supplies and my grandma is going to try to make that too for me. So far I plan to put in mine: My iPad Pencil pouch Wallet Folder Notebook Planner Not sure what else.
I've tried that. The internet is so unreliable though. I couldn't get it to work on the kindles 3 out of 5 days this week. Last week, I couldn't get the kindles to connect at all
+That One Happy Classroom Awesome! I teach pre-k. Can you give me any suggestions that you think my kids need to know before they get to kindergarten? I've been teaching for about 20 years but I just need a fresh perspective.

There are several websites you can use for audiobooks. Epic is great and free for teachers. Justbooksreadaloud.com is also a great way for students to listen to and see books on a device. Storyline.com has actors and actresses reading books aloud.
+Emily Hawkins unfortunately, most of those websites’s app aren’t compatible with kindles. Also, the kindles have not been connecting to the WiFi, so even if they were compatible, it wouldn’t work. I also don’t have computers in my classroom :/
That One Happy Classroom Epic is compatible with Kindle and Kindle Fire depending on the operating system and how old your Kindles are. You may be able to use some read to me books offline since you are having issues connecting to the wifi. I would also talk to a tech person in your school or district to figure out why you can't connect. That must be super frustrating for you! You could probably just record yourself read the books as a podcast and ding a bell at the end of the page so they know to turn to the next page if nothing else works. Good luck!
it is super frustrating! I tried downloading and importing videos of read alouds from youtube, and it worked for a day. However, today whenI was trying to get the listening center going for my kiddos, the videos were no longer on the kindles. I tried importing them again, but my computer would not recognize the kindle for me to import the videos again. :(

Yes a Q&A would be great!

best of luck to you!
Fernanda--kudos to you for just putting yourself out there! Your videos are so fun to watch and I appreciate your enthusiasm! Way to go!
I enjoyed seeing what you had in your bag waaaaay back in October. I usually have mini erasers floating around too! LOL! ❤️ and hugs!
Wow! That bag is huge! Q&A would be great!
When I need pockets in a binder; I put clear sheet protectors in the binder and then put my papers in these. I use clear sheet protectors in everything at school ... Keep up the great content.
I'll do that! :)
I would love to see a lesson planning tips video or a video on tips for new teachers! :)
Loved the video & of course all those Target items in your bag!😉💕 I love Target! #teacherlife 🍎✏️
A Q and A would make a lot of sense.

That One Happy Classroom Oh, that’s a bummer😥 Hope you can find an easy alternative!
i know :(

My iPad
Pencil pouch
Wallet
Folder
Notebook
Planner
Not sure what else.
I love the idea of doing a Q & A! Speaking of Q: where did you find your carpet?! It's super cute!
+Katrina Kazmer it was already in my classroom :)
I definitely suggest in investing in a Kipling bag. They're roomy and have lots of compartments!
Would love a Q&A!
Love your videos...I’d like to know how you lesson planning, any PD resources, thanks for sharing.
I would also like to see what’s in your purse. I’m always looking to see if someone has something I should have in mine.
inside my personal purse I just have my wallet and whatever lip product I'm wearing for the day
Is there a comparable (price and size) bag that you recommend?
Yes a q&A would be cool
How heavy is this bag?
+Kids Fun Science not heavy at all
Fernanda you can look in UA-cam for the Pete the cat with songs or just read a loud stories.
I've tried that. The internet is so unreliable though. I couldn't get it to work on the kindles 3 out of 5 days this week. Last week, I couldn't get the kindles to connect at all
Your bag looks heavy! Be careful not to hurt yourself!!
How do you organize your resources? Do you use a binder or a filing cabinet?
it's a combination of cabinets and bins.. it's not as organized as it could be
Fernanda, you can look for read alouds here in youtube, there's lots for pete the cat, with and without songs included.
+Elizabeth K. My kindles don’t connect to the internet for some reason, so UA-cam or any other online resource wouldn’t work
Shame! Maybe you could download and import the videos?
Anyways, loved the video, and I'm looking forward to the Q&A!!
I tried that! it worked for a day, and then the videos disappeared from my kindles today :(
When can we expect another OOTW video? 😻
Soon! maybe in a couple of weeks!
What kind of watch is that
fitbit charge 2
what grade do you teach?

+That One Happy Classroom Awesome! I teach pre-k. Can you give me any suggestions that you think my kids need to know before they get to kindergarten? I've been teaching for about 20 years but I just need a fresh perspective.
