One thing that I do has a teacher to make sure everything gets done is:
1. Grade everything the day it’s assigned (so if I have given 3 graded assignments before art class, then I will grade those 3 things during that planning time that I have)
2. Only limit myself to 4 tasks to take home with me. (Example: I will take home 2 two graded stacks of papers to put in the grade book. Also, I will take home 2 other tasks that I need to get done. Like setting up the binders that you did in this vlog.)
3. When I get to school in the morning I will have a pre-made to-do list from the day before to complete.
All these tips just make my teaching life a whole lot easier...
I think it is so cool when teachers decorate their classrooms - it adds a festive air and makes students want to go to school because they will feel more comfortable in a brightly colored enviroment.
Just a tip for putting the binder spine in, you can also turn the binder inside out, like pull the sides around, so the plastic part of the spine is inside, and it’s so easy to slide the spine in. On older binders, where the spine plastic is a little more loose, you can sometimes just put the end of the spine label in and let go and in just falls into place.
Good idea!
That observation lesson plan form is insane!!!
Michelle, I get migraines too. I work as a grocery store cashier so I feel your pain, literally. It's hard to be productive when you feel like your head is going to explode. I get the whole gamut too; nausea, chills, even labored breathing sometimes. May God bless us and heal us. I love your vlogs!
I feel for you with your migraines. I’ve had them since I was 16. Don’t feel bad about not finishing everything. Take care of you. Migraines are truly terrible. After a migraine, I can’t even speak well because it’s like you are brain damaged from all the pain. Sending you all the love. ❤️
GlitterandJams my aunt has really bad migraines. She has to amediatly (?) Go to bed in a dark, cool/cold room and she lays in bed for about 3 days without being able to do anything. She has these several times a month. She doesnt work though.
whatever9304 I’m so sorry that there are so many of us in the headache club. They are absolutely debilitating and stop you in your tracks. Please send your aunt love and hugs from me. For those that don’t have them, please be supportive to your family and friends who do. It helps so much to know that someone understands and cares. 😊
GlitterandJams. you are so nice and helpful
Olivia Bowman aww. Thanks. We need to support each other. 😊❤️
We certainly need to support each other. No one who has migraines gets them the same way. For some, they are debilitating for other like me a in pain the neck, literally. It is nice to know that there are others in the same boat as me; I feel for each and every one of you.
Please apply to be on jeapordy!!!!!
She should do the teachers week!
Yes!!!
Giving that student that pencil pouch really touched my heart. I bet she was excited to see it! You’re precious and such an inspiration !
I get really bad tension migraines when overwhelmed or stressed. When i am at work, i literally have the lights off all day
Yes! the lighting can really mess with your eyes and make it worse.
As someone who gets migraines as well , I find it helps to put an icepack on the back of my neck as soon as I can feel a migraine coming on.
Who else wants Michelle and Billy to get married ?
Waiting for the wedding announcement video! lol
Jessica Scott i dont get why people live together but not get married. There is s youtube girl who has 3 kids with her fiance and her oldest is 7 so technically they are commonlaw anyway. I dont understsnd why the wait. I dont care but just wondering
Marge Paz I lived with my husband for 5 years throughout college before we got married. Everyone does things in their own time.
Marge Paz weddings are expensive
There engaged now
YOU SHOULD SO GO ON JEOPARDY!
Oh Michelle, I feel your pain, I have had a stuck migraine since January 18th and it won’t go away, so I feel your pain every single day, all day
I noticed your migraine occured after eating hotdogs. Nitrates in the hotdogs are a common culprit.
Thanks for the fact I never knew that
It makes me so happy to see you're having a better year than last year. I feel like you talked so much about behavior problems last year, but you have stronger relationships with your students this year. I'm sure that has a lot to do with the age difference, but I'm just glad you're having a better year! As a future educator, I love your videos! I listen to them while I do my homework, and they keep me motivated! :)
Katherine Brennan she’s also teaching at a school with more parental involvement. It’s not easy teaching at a title 1 school. The kids have a lot of issues at home and title 1 schools have more observations and walk through etc. It’s stressful for the staff.
Migraine might be coming from the lights in your room. Amazon has tint covers to put over them. Add more lamps to your room. Tina from "A cozy classroom" talks about this.
Also just a theory of mine,.., my husband gets them often and knowing him I think his comes from not drinking enough water, dehydration.
Could this be a possibility for you?
I've thought about getting those!
Next time you can’t sleep because of a migraine get Billy to tickle your back and/or play with your hair. This helps me so so much when I have migraine headaches.
I feel the same way when I have an announced observation. I’m the same way with wanting it to be as close to perfect as possible and thinking about it 24/7! Good luck!! Don’t beat yourself up..
#TownHouseTour
You truly inspire me to work harder in school!!! Thank you 😊
Ha don't worry, my homeroom teacher still hasn't taken down her Halloween decorations!😂
😂😂
I just took down Halloween window clings lol
My math teacher has had a smiley pumpkin hanging on her wall everyday for 3 years now😂
Loved your video... as always Michelle! Have a great observation! You are going to rock it!!
My Alexa tried to turn on a lamp in my room when you said yours haha
I received the gir of Alexa...
It seems like a lot of teachers I meet suffer from migraines. I myself as a teacher get really bad migraines too. I wonder why so many teachers get them? I feel your pain!
DeenaandBeena it’s a really unfortunately correlation. It’s probably a number of things, like stress, long hours, low sleep, bright lights, screens all day, low amounts of quiet time. Things all teachers experience that might exacerbate migraines.
Teacher here too and I have to take prescription medication as a preventative measure. I get migraines and cluster headaches.
Stress and working so late with little breaks i bet
As usual, great vlog. I look forward every week to seeing what you've been up to. So sorry you've been struggling with migraines. Praying your observation goes well on Monday. I'm sure it will. You're so organized and such a great teacher. I know you'll do great. Hope you have a great week.❤️
As a fellow teacher who gets migraines- I FEEL YOU! I did a migraine study at Johns Hopkins and learned that the feeling of being out of it and overwhelmed is actually a symptom of my migraines. The study focused on using mindfulness mediation to help prevent stress induced migraines, and when I could remember to do it, it definitely helped. However, the ONE THING I can actually remember to do and it has helped me when teaching, is taking a three breath brakes (where you close your eyes, take three breaths, and check in how you are feeling). This has helped me realize when a migraine was coming on (even pre-aura), when normally I would have ignored it, and I could take my prescription or motrin migraine (which works- but only if you catch it at the very, very beginning).
I feel you more than anyone on the migraines. I had never suffered from a migraine until 3 months ago that I had a stroke. & after that girl , it changed my life completely. I need to be on blood thinners from the rest of my years, and now I get frequent migraines and due to the blood thinners, I can't take anyyyy other medicine.
it's hard. it doesn't matter how many times you have it. it's never easy :/ but stay strong !!!!! love your optimism
I have family members who suffered from severe migraines and they swear by CoQ10, takes 3-4 weeks to fully kick in but now their migraines are so much more manageable! Love your vlogs:)
And my smart plug controls the outside Christmas Lights which are plugged into an inside outlet, it's a lifesaver
BINDER SPINE INSERTION TIP: Holding the binder open while you are inserting the spine also makes insertion a smidge easier. :-) Thank you for all you do! I love this video. I am only a few minutes into it ........ but I see from the title you had migraines this past week - thats miserable - hope you feel better pronto!!
I feel you with migraines girl! I've had them since my teen years and they are so debilitating :( I get the same vision loss, extreme pain and i usually puke as well. When you start to see the vision aura you need to rest asap, work can wait! Take care of yourself, I worry! xxx
I love your ideas and have been binge watching old episodes. Thank you for your inspiration! Another trick for getting the labels in the binder: open the binder and lay it on the table with the spine up. This will give you extra space to slide it in more easily.
I feel your pain with the migraines. You should see a chiropractor...it's the only thing that has really worked for me. It's incredible and really good for your overall health!
I love your outfit you wore Friday. I noticed immediately when you started talking in the car that it was something different than normal. Great job working this week through the migraines. I think Thanksgiving break really helped you not feel so overwhelmed. Good luck on Monday!!
You need to make sure you take care of yourself. When your body tells you to chill, chill and relax. You are a great teacher and it shows. Don't stress so much over your observations. You are awesome and you will do over and beyond like you always do.
I have migraines too. They really are terrible. I had 3 this week! I hate how they can take over your life. I never take off from school, but I feel like I’m in a terrible haze of pain all day when I teach with one. One think that helps me, I use an ice pack and heat at the same time. Ice on the head and hot water on the hands and feet. Dark quiet room...And peppermint oil. I think mine are stress induced. Hope you find some relief!
When you told Alexa to turn on the lamp my one was listening!
You should look into getting a daith piercing to help with your migraines. I used to get them at least once a month and after I got the piercing back in June haven’t had one since. If you do end up getting a daith piercing make sure you do both ears or it will only work on the side pierced. Lots of love
Hi Michelle! You are such an inspiration and I get so many great ideas from you! If there's a way for me to return my thanks...I suppose it would be in the way of advice (being the old lady that I am....lol)....asking for and receiving support do not equal failure. You deserve be very proud of your good work but don't ever think it's not enough....open yourself up and be a bit vulnerable and learn from others and you will fly! I remember those early teaching days and always feeling stressed and intimidated by more seasoned colleagues....it kept me from really learning from those who were truly trying to help me to be a better teacher. I'm so glad to see you start to bloom and accept advice without tormenting yourself! (feeling "back in your groove")....good luck on Monday!! You really do make a difference!
I've been suffering with migraines since I was 5, so I feel your pain and teaching with them is the worst. Not sure if someone mentioned it already, but one thing that helps me with the nausea is constantly drinking ice water. Also, I absolutely LOVE your videos and have been binge watching them for the past 2.5 weeks (maybe longer). I am currently working on my B.A. Elementary Ed and your videos have given me a boost of confidence and many ideas for when I get my classroom (hopefully next year). So THANK YOU for all that you do! #okayimdone :)
I hope your observation went well!! Sometimes its better to have an announced observation and do the preobservation stuff than to be surprised. I had my first experience with that this year and my supervisor was delighted that i took all her suggestions for my lesson to actually implement them.
I relate to all the migraine pain!
My mom always said it was probably because of school florescent lighting but there are so many factors that could trigger it- lighting is definitely one for me.
I get the auras too sometimes in BOTH eyes it’s the absoluteee worst!
Love you hope you have the best during the Christmas season
Love when the straw goes into the drink 😊
I get those type of migraines too.I had it since I was younger. .I was not sure what it was until I was diagnosed. .What I do as soon as It starts I take ibuprofen it helps a little.The bad part is if you are driving .Since it makes it hard to see for a while.I know it is hard for you but when you can try to be in a room that is dark and quiet.There is pretty much nothing we can do to make it better.Hope you feel better!
I used to get migraines really bad and then realized they caused by aspartame and sucralose! I also was dehydrated a lot of the time. I hope you get a resolution soon!
I’m slowly making my way through your videos on a binge-watch! I can tell I’ve been watching a bunch since I now know how much your Dunkin’ Donuts order is, your favorite candy and your morning routine before work (rough start if your hair is wet and no makeup) 😂😂
I use to work in a boutique that sells Capri Blue candles. They are pretty popularity my area. Good luck on your observation. It’s observation time at my school too.
I always had migraens before. Cause I was very stressed and didnt sleep so much and it was irregulaber. But after I stopped to stress and have good sleep every night it went away. So try to take care of your health more and it can go away. Hugs!
I had a rough week too.... there was a full week this past week! If that is any consolation. You are awesome Michelle!
I get the same migraines! And i totally understand how miserable they are but even when I have the most busy days and I get one I just have to remember it’s my body telling me that I need to slow my life down and I just think that you’re such a good teacher and you put your whole life into it but sometimes need to slow down for a sec
Go Michelle!!!! Love all you do!
The Clementine & Mango candle from hobby lobby smells exactly like the volcano ones! You can always use 40% off coupon and they’re sometimes 50% off! I used to be obsessed with the volcano ones but they’re so pricey
Love the birthday cups. Simple and cute. ☺
Love Sunday mornings! So excited when I saw this was 55 minutes! I too get a migraine once a month; I hate how I feel like a zombie afterwards and my brow bone feels so bruised from it that it hurts to move my eyes in any direction. Side note: I stood at my desk this week and looked around my working space and thought how I seriously need you to come and organize my space LOL! So next time you're visiting Megscrayons, come down to Kansas City, Missouri and help me!! Ha!
Catherine from 5thgradejewels
Michelle, don’t worry about the migraines. I am 13 and I have had them since I was 6. It doesn’t matter how much you do, I haven’t handed in multiple assignments because of them
I know this is posted very late after you posted this. As a migraine sufferer I saw this title and had to watch it. I too have some medicine, one of the best things I have found to help is excedrine pm. Helps so much to help me sleep
Very helpful video, good job 👏🏻
Can you give the link for your PAPER CUTTER? I NEED IT BADLY!
Hi Michelle!! Back to you wonderful self...I love and admire your teacher heart!
I had migraines when I was younger. I had H. Pylori. Try reducing gluten. It got rid of my migraines. Mine were like you described all the time. I don’t have the aura, though. Every time I’d get stressed, nervous, anxious, etc. I very rarely get one now and I’m so thankful.
I love your videos as I can relate to all you say! I always watch them while I’m planning my lessons
Love the “I can” statements! Can you explain how you choose them and if you explicitly go over them with the class and when? Thank you!
I am a substitute teacher and when I am having a bad day, your vlogs truly encourage me to strive to do better. I am looking forward to having my own classroom one day and to learn the things you are learning your first few years as a teacher! P.S. I cannot wait until you reach 100, 000 subscribers!
I can relate to your migraines! I don't get migraines but I have horrible acid reflux (its atypical so it doesn't follow a pattern as to what I eat), and I had it twice this week which is much more than usual. When I get the severe pain in my chest area I can't even move or talk it hurts so bad. Severe pain just really sucks
They’re doing topographic maps in 4th grade.... I’m doing that now in 11th grade
liz garvin I did them in sixth!
I haven’t done them yet. I am in 10th grade
I tried to tutor 4th grade math and I was shocked at what I had to teach! I teach 1st lol
I'm in 6th grade and learned them this year! I'm in an advanced academic program too. Maryland curriculum sure is tough.
I love those Really Good Stuff paper baskets! I use them in my classroom too! :) I would like to get some more though so I can use them to differentiate!
My mom has migraines almost everyday. I have had migraines since I was 8, I had it for the entire summer going into 3rd grade. My sister is now 11 and she is having headaches a lot and my mom thinks she has what we have but not as bad yet. It will get better.
I absolutely loved those earrings you wore with your plaid shirt!
I love Stranger Things! It is my absolute favorite show! It always motivates me to stop working! Haha!
Michelle you might want to try reducing the fluorescent lighting in your classroom to help with your migraines. Studies have shown that those office/school lights may cause anxiety and headaches. I only use one row of my classroom lights (principal approved) and I covered those in cloud-printed bulletin board paper. It's more than enough light and my kids love it! Good luck and hope you feel better!
I have had chronic migraines since middle school, I'm in 11th grade now. Last week I had a constant migraine for the entire week. Advil, Tylenol, and prescription medication did not do anything. I eventually had to start getting shots.
Your migraines could be due to your classroom lights. Amazon sells filters to cover them with! I’m not sure what they are called but it filters the light. Those lights give me headaches all the time.
I just had a bad migraine last night too! It sucks. But it happens to me a lot and I think it's because I don't eat well 😂😂 so make sure you eat right!:)
I’m sorry you also have bad migraines. I get them occasionally and I have to go to my room pretty much and turn off the lights and just lay there. It gets bad. My ex, whom I’m friends with, has constant migraines that he can’t even work and has to go to multiple doctors constantly to try and get help. I am glad it passed though for you!
Have you ever tried a hot water bottle/hot washcloth instead of ice? I have a family history of migraines and that's what works for me. I also take a muscle relaxer and Tylenol when the pain strikes.
Definitely invest in the smart plugs! My fiancé and I have a few that we connected to our Google Home and we LOVE IT! We also have a Smart Thermostat that is connected to Google Home. They all have apps so it’s also convenient to turn our heat / air on on our way home so it’s cozy when we get home! 😃
My husband is trying to convince me to make out home a smart home. Is it worth it??
Brandee Torres- Bunee's Classroom Absolutely! But me and my fiancé are both techy people-meaning we work in technology / it’s our hobby-so there was no other option for us! 😂 But these products are so easy to use that even non techy people could totally use it and benefit from them. We have shaved dollars off of our electricity bill every single month since we started! 😃 Totally worth it! 😃
OH NO! He will be happy to hear this! lol
22 year old correctional studies student here. love your videos xx.
I suffer from horrible migraines but my Dr started prescribing Imitrex and now I don't have anxiety about getting migraines because I know that imitrex will take care of it if I start feeling the aura. I also take My Brain, which is a feverfew and butterbur combination medicine and that's helping prevent them.
You Rock! I hope your observation goes well!
Michelle I feel for you, for your migraines. Something that has helped me extremely is this. Eat a slice of ginger root each day. Not kidding, I know it sounds weird but it works! My migraines were so bad that I was missing work. Bad auroras, couldn't sit up straight, very weak. Felt like I was going to pass out. Now since i started eating ginger root each day, I haven't had those problems. When I get migraines, they are only mild headaches!
Migraines are the worst! I use a heating pad where I alternate between my forehead and base of my neck. It has been a game changer for me. I started doing this when I was pregnant the first time and wasn’t using any pain killers. Good luck!
I had chronic debilitating migraines starting at age 18. I’ve been migraine free for 2 years since going off birth control. It’s been absolutely life changing. I feel your pain :(
That is AWESOME!
I know how u feel with the migraines. I watched my mom for like 20 years suffer from migraines to the point where she would have to lay down in the dark for a couple hours. Now that I’m in my early 20’s I’m now suffering from migraines on the DAILY!! Some days there just a numb pain and I work threw them..some days I can’t do anything, can’t function, sometimes have to leave work early. They come and go, I can go weeks without one and weeks with one every single day. :(
Dont know whether you have ever tried this but try writing it down in a book before you go to bed at night it really helps me, its almost like it never tried it. Hope it went well!!!! XX
I have that same candle!! I LOVE it as well.
I also bought the dot and the smart plug!
You Can also just open the binder with the rings down. Lay it on a tabel or whatever. Than the plastic loosens and you Can eaaasily put in the label
I used to always get migraines when I was younger. I found out that I had food triggers and light flash triggers, so when I stopped eating certain foods and avoided flashing lights, the migraines stopped. Now I get them at most once a month. I hope you can find out if you have triggers that set the migraines off.
I loveeee watching your vlogs while doing homework Eng 3 hon is killling me 😂 any who I hope ya have a great day!
Try taking magnesium daily! You can get it in the vitamin section. It’s supposed to reduce the amount of headaches/migraines!
To put the binder spines in the binder easier you can open the bi Dre and lay it flat on a counter or something. Trust me it works!
Yes! That works best for me too! It loosens the spine opening and makes it easier to slide the labels in!
My sister gets migraines a lot she has been going to the nurses office at school. At the end of the year she has been to the office 32 times that year!! 😁😔
This may not work for every one; however, I started seeing a chriopractor that uses basal feedback, and since then, I’ve had zero migranes. I used to get them quite frequently too.
I go to a chiropractor for migraine treatment as well! It works so well for me and I always recommend it to my friends.
I get bad migraines frequently too. Have you tried peppermint essential oils mixed with lavender
Just love your videos :)
Anybody else's echo go off when she said "Alexa turn on living room lamp"
I know how you feel! I am 12 years old and I have been diagnosed with them!
I have my formal this week. I'm feeling okay about it. Only thing is I don't see eye to eye with the admin who will be observing me. Good luck with yours! And if you want to try a treat from Dunkin this week try the Sugar Cookie one. It's filled with cookie butter.
Love your outfit on Thursday ❤️
Caffeine and an ibuprofen usually will help with my migraines if I catch it quickly enough. I understand your pain!
