      What a nice thing to say! Thank you. Since I hear my voice all day long, it’s not calming to me…LOL…so I’m glad it is to others. 💕. I’m in anticipation of your next video. 🌹

    First, let me thank you for being a teacher. You have one of the hardest jobs ever! It was really interesting to see how your day goes and everything you do to prepare for your kids! Thank you for sharing!

      You are so welcome! This year, although one of the most tiring for me, was a year when I feel I’ve done some of my best work. I have a wide range of differing needs in my class this year and these kids taught me so much about how to connect with them as well as some things about myself. 8 more days…I’m going to miss them. 💕

    I’m so thankful you teach! I can only imagine what a great teacher you are. Your desk looks a lot like mine used to look when I worked my M-F. I’m so impressed watching this a d getting a peek into your work world! I think it’s so cool your district offers breakfast! So many kids barely get a good beginning meal into them for the day.
    I think you may be a wizard! You’re working magic over there. Bless you for all you do.

      A wizard⁉️. That’s fun! I wanna be a wizard! 🥰🧙‍♀️ You should see my desk now! Since it’s time to take the classroom apart and clean up…it’s even crazier! I’m looking forward to the mornings when I can take invigorating walks like you do. 8 more days! Thanks for your kind words, Tracie. Teaching is hard..but incredibly fulfilling.

    It’s really cool to see how a fellow ADHD teacher moves through their day. I co-teach 2 9th grade history classses and ELA classes, teach rules based reading, test students for IEP evals, write reports, attend meetings, etc. I feel like my day is so whirlwind, but feel like elementary teachers have it even harder with the pacing. Thanks for sharing your day with us! I love how you chill on your breaks…. I’m usually shoving food in my mouth and watching Fortnite tips on UA-cam 😂 or waiting in a long bathroom line 😅

    • @beautifullifesageg.3951
      @beautifullifesageg.3951  4 місяці тому

      Long bathroom lines! Oh no! We have two faculty bathrooms in the part of campus I’m on and the primary teachers are literally RACING to them (1 stall each) after we drop our kids off to recess or lunch! I’m glad the video resonated with you. When does your summer start? Mine is June 11th.

    What a beautiful video, taking us along into your classroom. Yes, it's a non stop chain of everything happening at once in a classroom, as a fellow teacher I totally understand the need for 5 minutes in a calm environment. I wish I had a chair like yours at my school... P.S. I can see the number 500 in the horizon 😉!

      Good morning! Thank you Sofia. I made this video in part, because over the course of my career when people learned that I teach 2nd grade, they would always respond with “How CUTE!” At times…it can be cute. Most of the time though, it’s far from cute! Lol. The students are cute! The work is hard and never ending. But it’s heart-centered work all the same. I’m glad to know you enjoyed it. 💕💕🤩

      @beautifullifesageg.3951 you did an amazing job. Being a teacher isn't easy at all. And I think your tone of voice helps, it's a very calm tone.

    Great video Jen & congratulations on not only making it through but filming it! Do you have a link or name for the 'bilateral' music you were playing? The sound really relaxed me & my runaway brain.😂❤

      Hi there Sarah! I appreciate your comment. 💕 I listen to random channels on UA-cam. I just search “bilateral stimulation” and choose one. The one I love has a green ivy image of a face. It’s beautiful. 🌿💚

    I love that you serve the children breakfast ❤ In Sweden we serve lunch for free i elementary school but only the children who pay to go to the child care centre att the school ("fritidshem" in Swedish for those age 6-10) before school starts get breakfast.🥣

      Some schools in California serve free lunch depending on the economic status of the students. Our school is in a low-income area so all students get free lunch if they don’t bring their own. Thanks for sharing how that works in Sweden! 💕🙏 What grade or subject do you teach?
