tik tok: elementary with emily
Is it weird that I’m a kid watching these videos tbh they are just fun to watch btw hope u feel better:)
Same😂
Sammme😅
sameeeee!
Same
Omg same
I wish teachers talked about mental health and stuff when i was in elementary school i love that you incorporate it so much. Also i love the diversity you included in your classroom from your classroom set up vlogs!
thank you!!!
I'm the old retired math teacher following your journey. Everything you are feeling is normal, including exhaustion. I suggest you start a daily journal with the good and the bad, write down what worked, what didn't, and what you want to try. You can never have enough storage, I didn't have to deal with kids storage(they went from class to class) but there is always more stuff to find places for. If you want to ask anything, feel free. I worked with many student teachers and it was a great joy for me to watch them grow into their own classrooms.
thank you so much!!!
@elementary with Emily, I love that you take the tine to comment back to us :)
Re: flood of supplies: I always went to a grocery store and asked to buy big paper bags at checkout (one per kid). But of course, I would mention I was a teacher and I always got them free ;-) I wrote the students' names on the bags and the kids dropped their stuff in the bag and I lined them up against a wall. It was a good way to get them organized (temporarily) while keeping the supplies separate.
such a great idea!!! will definitely do something like that next year to keep things organized
This gave me ptsd of when teachers would move me because I talked w my friends too much 🤣😭 I was that kid that would talk to anyone so I’m sure they suffered.
Yay! I have been waiting for this vlog! Good job for completing your 1st day!
You should include clips of you teaching! Like have the camera filming on yourself but to where we can hear the kids voices and y'all's interactions.
i will probably try to do that at some point!☺️
yess for sure!!!!
You got this. My principal’s saying is Get them in, get them feed and get them home. So it was funny hearing you say it as well. Get well soon. I had virtual open house and met 20/27 students
Some people think teaching is easy, it really isn’t. Firstly, you have to handle at least 20 children in a closed environment, secondly, you have to plan out everything and be really organized with everything, and lastly, there is high stress levels that come with some types of children, or not being financially stable from not being paid enough. Kudos to all the teachers out there. ❤️🥰
I'm not a teacher but some good advice for everyone is BREATHE. Deep breath in deep breath out. So easy, so important, so easy to forget.
Congratulations on your 1st day !
Teachers are the best 💜
As a junior in high school, I’ve been looking at first day school vlogs by other students because my first day is on the 17th which is coming soon but when I saw your post posted by a teacher, I watched ur first video and loved it good job, will be subscribing and watching more. Enjoy your school year as a teacher!
Hi!! I’m also a junior and I start on Thursday! I hope you have a great first day! I’ll come back and update on what my first day went like :)
@@hayhay3716 great thanks! Have a first day back this Thursday!
Also for your supplies u can put some little bins in the middle of there table and then they can put there supplies in for each group idk if that will work for u! Just a suggestion
I wish I could go back to when I still had a “1st day of school” haha, hope you feel back to 100% soon!
as a person who had a first year teacher in fourth grade i have to say it was my favorite year. i feel as though first year teachers (no offense) kinda have no clue what they are doing so they just kinda go with the flow which makes the kids like it more if that makes any sense. i don’t know not sticking to a super strict schedule and having some fun time in fourth grade was so amazing and made that year sooo fun. i’m a freshman though so everything im saying might be irrelevant but oh well 🤣
Congrats on completing your first day!! I remember my first day back in 2009… I went home and cried myself to sleep! 😂 It’s SO stressful!
Side note: I would LOVE to know where you got your cute earrings from.
Hope you get better this weekend and have a great first week!
amazon for earrings!! and thank you so much!! and yes i got home and immediately got into bed!!!
A fun end of day game we played was where the teacher was in the middle of the room and they’d say “go to this side of the room if you like (example: chocolate ice cream )” while pointing to the left/right side of the room then the opposite for the other side. We could go on like this for infinity here’s some good “if you like…” prompts:
Hamburger/hotdog
Chocolate chip cookie/sugar cookie
Fruit/veggies
Orange juice /apple juice
Playing inside/outside
Toy figurines/video games
Cake/cupcakes
Cookie/brownie
Swimming pool/bike
Ketchup/mustard
Traveling/staying home
I hope you do this, it’s. A great way to get to know your kiddos and for them to know each other. It could also help more shy/more left out kids feel like a part of the class
this is such a cute idea!! i’m a sophomore in college and would 100% still enjoy this 😂😂
Future educator here! Watching your videos lessens my anxiety for teaching in the future in a way- if that makes sense lol. I hope the rest of the school year goes well for you and that you feel better! 🥰
thank you love!
I couldnt agree more with this. Im also a future educator and these videos are the best!!!
I’m going into my 14th year of teaching and I still get nervous on the first day of school and so tired at the end of the day. You are doing great! Your activities are all great and I also over plan because you just never know!
I hope your feeling better :) Btw your classroom looks awesome!!
thank you so much!!
Congrats on your first day of teaching! Last year was my first year, and I was fresh out of college just like you so I totally understand. I love that you set an intention of "the goal of today is to get kids here, feed them, and get them home." My intention for my first year of teaching was solely focusing on building relationships with students. It really helped me day by day with all the craziness and stress of school. Didn't get to everything I needed to? Oh well, at least I took my time on the lesson to make sure students understood. Didn't plan enough and have extra time at the end of class? I'll think of a game or even just sit and talk with my students. Set an intention for the school year like that and don't overwhelm yourself with all of the little things. Anyways, good luck on your first year. You will do great!!
I appreciate this comment so much!!! it definitely helped put me at ease so thank you💛
Congrats on getting through your first day!!! Thanks for sharing it with us :)
Yknow whats funny- this is not even related to the video but if i get insulted i just say, “awe thanks for the compliment” lol
What helps me SO much to recover from a little cold is drinking emergen-C I drink one in the morning and helps me get through the day ! 😊
New subscriber I have been following you throw your junior love this channel and you :)
I feel like every young techer where’s those ear rings
Congratulations 🎉 on your first day, you only get it once! And how lucky that you started on a Friday. You probably lowered your resistance being stressed about starting school, take care of yourself this weekend. And congratulations on making an anchor chart WITH your students, which is much more effective than doing it ahead of time. The kids are much more invested in it and remember what was discussed. Supplies are always a challenge to store, sounds like you have a good plan. Take care of yourself and have a wonderful year!
Hooray on successfully surviving your first day and may I add with little to no sleep prior to! We started our school year August 2nd and even though this is my 21st year - I had all the feels that you shared! Cheers for an amazing, fun, and safe year! I’ve subscribed and clicked notifications for ALL! Thanks for sharing your journey! Makes me think that my sis (who also teaches) should upload videos about our setup and everyday life! So intriguing!
I’m somewhat new here and you are doing amazing! You will get the hang out it soon.
😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍I love your videosI hope you feel betterI recommend getting a shelf and clear binsAnd put their art supplies in the clear bands
I really liked how you showed the different worksheets/ activities you had planned! 💜
Girl that first day of school tired is NO joke. You made it!!!!!! 🎉
Are the student supplies considered community or do each student keep their supplies?
some are community like glue sticks, paper, index cards. but i want to let them keep their own binders and scissors and things like that
@@emilyinthemiddle3119 Okay, so the milk crates would work for that. Where do the students keep their other supplies? Sorry if you've answered this in a previous vlog.
you’re good! i haven’t. i have a shelving unit and there is a drawer for each table where their supplies will be. i also may do a caddy on each table for little things
@@emilyinthemiddle3119 Good ideas! I've seen teachers utilize book bins for supplies and work books the students keep at their tables. I've also seen teachers utilize milk crates and each student have one at their tables. They do get very messy though, and supplies seem to get lost in milk crates. I like the idea of a student work station which could hold supplies they may need throughout the year. Good luck this school year! You've got this!
Why is everyone starting school already I start school at the end of the month on aug 31 like what
yay!! i’ve been waiting for this one.🥰 congrats on making it through your first day - teachers are truly a blessing!💓
HAppy first day of school! MY name is Emily too! I am going into my 4th year of teaching.
A heads up - don't use essential oils or a diffuser in your classroom. I have been sent to the emergency room 3 times because of allergic reaction from a colleagues diffuser. In addition, when I was a student a classmate's family sued a teacher for causing anaphylactic shock due to the teacher's diffuser.
I know you want the classroom to be warm and inviting but it is just not worth it safety wise! Even if you got written permission from all student's parents, you never know about the kids down the hall.Scents travel fast.
Please think about it.
I’m watching this literally a year later and now your in middle school I only just started watching has your UA-cam name always be Emily in the middle or did you change it cause your now teaching middle school?
Hi Emily!! If you are able to get back that Shelf thing with all the little sections, you could use those as supplies cubbys for their supplies boxes, any notebooks, even boxes of gluesticks and stuff, etc. Have fun teaching this year!!
I don't know if this could help but for the school supplies you could buy chair pocket organizers, but then again it would be another cost, totally up to you.
Hey Goodmorning/Goodnight😊God loves u all so much❤and he is soon returning, repent from ur sins and be baptised in Jesus's name❤
Ok so this is like super random but your skin is so nice- like watching you put on your makeup, I’m just admiring how smooth your skin looks- is that weird to say? Idk-
What grade do you teach?
You look so young and I like your hair and make up v❤❤ Love watching your videos
Omg! I wish i shout have commented before you know the paper thing that had a bunch of cubie's i think the stuff could have fit in there and you buy hooks for some of their backpacks!
Also I just remembered your supplies can go in the studen center
I’m 19 almost and this can help so I would know how to design my English classroom or a elementary teacher I want to either be a English teacher or be a elementary teacher maybe 4th grade like her
Are use cubbies to put everything Where it goes so in the first day of school my teacher gave me a competition book oh and I put it in my cubby it kid had a number to remember and put hangers in the front of the classroom to put your backpack in case you have any electronics in the front of the class it’s useful for Testing
I swear on my life I'm not lying I seriously thought u we're like a high schooler or a 8th grader not a teacher!! 😮❤
That cubbie shelf would’ve been perfect for the supplies 😭😭
I'm 9 and I'm going into fourth grade and my 3rd grade teacher used book bens to store all our supplies in so hope this is helpful
I love how you are using first day jitters and the emoji sheet! I found a free version on tpt and will be using that for my first day! Congrats on your first day :) I start soon! Ah
Something that teachers do at my son's school for their supplies is they have these things that go over the chairs and has pockets.
Hope you have fun I am a 3rd year 4th grade teacher!
Bro it is so weird that we are almost done with school like it’s almost January and we end school in June we’ll I do so 6 more months then summer break- that was so quick
Yep its this time of year again
My teacher was a first year teaching, and she was literally the best, but the school do not let her back in the next year 😢
Wait what if your students find your UA-cam channel lol
I think my teacher watched your videos
How did you find your school to teach at im on my way into my masters to become a teacher and that’s been a big thought of how to find a school to teach at !
I never sleep the night before the first day either 😂 Regarding not feeling well, my team swears by a combo of Elderberry and Vitamin C. I typically pick one of the two to take in addition to my multivitamin. I hope you feel better soon!
Emily how are you doing.. How is work. Best teacher
first day jitters and fourth grade I had Sprite and sprinkles when we were done with the book
How much does a new classroom have in the classroom for the kids
Go to meijer or Walmart and there might be plastic bins there of different colors
Thats when my baby brothere was born August 6th 2021
Im start middle school on the 16 and i can't wait
Wow a lot of people in these comments made paragraphs 😂😂/jk
I hope you feel better before you put your make up on I thought you already had make up on
Imagine the kids finding this account: 👁👄👁
you can store them in the desk.... the books and all that will fit mabee
I was homeschooled for 4th grade and my teacher legit was so weird about everything she said it was her 10th year teaching but yet she seemed so..... new to it.
I love watching you because i want to become a teacher when i,m older
Where did you get the labels for your mirror - thanks :o) ?
are you unmasked and sick around the students??
@@alejandraresendiz4598 Great question! I was thinking...Is it just a head cold? I don't think she would be that careless especially during this time...I really hope not. Let's see. Cheers!
i got tested for covid strep and flu and everything was negative!! i don’t have to wear a mask at school but this week i am because of my cold. don’t worry, being super careful and safe!☺️
@@emilyinthemiddle3119 Thanks for the response. You've put peace into curious minds...keep it going!
Yayyyy
Hey girl! Where did you find your resources? I love the first day jitter book and the activities that you showed you did with your students are amazing. Can you share where you got the worksheets from?
i did not get them but i would check TPT!
We did first day jitters to and i live in Ashland Kentucky
You should get bags and tie them on their desks to put their supplies
you are so cuteeeee i want to be a teacher like youuu one day . Im from sri lanka
Your room looks like smells like pumpkin spiceee 😅🧡
No Bc why is this so interesting 🤣❤️
Weird question because this is my first time finding your channel! But do you live in Jackson Hole Wyoming are have you just been there?
i’ve just been there!
I am going to get a book tub for my kids so they can put all the stuff in it
I am a student and I store my supplies in a book bin/box
Come on why do you put makeup on you do not need it you look sooo pretty 🤩
I'm a sophomore in hs and I love these videos!
Okay but your makeup and eyebrows are stunning please teach me your ways
THANK U!!!
@@emilyinthemiddle3119 you’re welcome!!
ive never clicked so fastttt
Mrs wickman is the nicest teacher is the nicest
is this also what I look like when I use my beauty blender?
LOLLLL
my teachers keep ‘seat pockets’ and we put all our stuff in it then we put our writing and reading notebooks in a milk crate.
It feels different seeing this as a kid and starting 5th grade on the 23rd of August I am so excited but a bit nervous at the same time but I know it will all work out at the end.
Remember to be true to who you are and to be yourself. Try not to let your peers pressure you into being someone you aren't. Do what makes you happy and everything will be okay.
Wow my school starts September 1st
Nuuuu you should have kept the cubbies😭
Chair pockets for the supplies
I'm early 🥳
Can we just admire how pretty she is without makeup
you are too sweet!!! thank you!
I’m going into 8th grade and I’ve been watching videos for tips I’m kind of nervous and I start next Wednesday the 18 of August congratulations on completing your first day of teaching
You said you were a fist year teacher then you said in this video at the begging of it you said you felt like your 4 graders last year were bigger :)
yes i student taught in 4th grade!!
I filled that out too I did the same paper
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
I'm new to your channel was in recommended videos to watch and I love the classroom set up. I give props to all yall teachers for handling all the kids in classrooms. But you said something about needing to make a seating chart. I had an idea to throw out and hope you use it and maybe can show on vlog one day. But make a floor plan of desks with random numbers for the amount of students and have the students pick a number when that number is said write their name down on that number and thats there spot it was a cool way my teacher in elementary school did this quite often and the kids love it because we never knew where we were going til the teacher told us. If they get the same number there already at just say pick another number just so other kids dont know thats the number or you can change that number. Hope this is explained well. Hope to see it in one of the vlogs.
