Who else is watching Michelle’s Old vlogs cause they miss the Classroom Vlogs😩❤️
Me
Me but I love the style of vlogs that she does now! I love how sarcastic she gets in her 2019 and 2020 vlogs :)!
Me
👍🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Just a note on your apology at the end of the video: I love the fact that you show the 'real' side of teaching. The chaos, the messy room, the late night planning sessions. As an education major who just has a year left of school, it's nice to get a real insight to what it might be like for me. :) I still think you do a fabulous job, though! And you've given me A LOT of great ideas for classroom organization and lessons!
Taylor Pack she was like: I have no pyjamas to wear so I better buy some tonight I was like:is all of your bed wear sex CLOTHES or some thing😅😆
Seriously I am loving these weekly vlogs!
Girl please! I love your vlogs... teaching is not easy and I appreciate the honesty... none of us have it all together but that doesn't mean that we are not Awesome teachers... You're Awesome!
Like if you would want her for a teacher
I wanted her for 4th grade SO BAD but I live in IL so there was ABSOLUTELY NO CHANCE of me having her as a teacher😭
I love that you show it how it really is. I can relate to ever single thing you've shown in your vlogs! It's always great to see that your not alone 😊😊 So thank you!
Thank you so much and it makes me feel a lot better that others can relate as well! Glad to know I'm not the only one!
Pocketful of Primary I would like to say that you are an awesome teacher and an amazing person, you stay up late till three in the morning to plan somthing fun for your kids. I'm always binge watching you vlogs and on account of all your viewers thank you for always staying positive and always being kind
I actually appreciate that you have showed us how your life is really like because i was feeling quite like i have nothing together. you seemed absolutely flawless prior to these videos! But i think the vlogs really give us a rounded sense of who you are as a teacher which is an imperfect, but amazing view! you are awesome!
I'm an education major and I can not stop watching your videos! it's so nice to be able to follow you along throughout your week in your classroom and be able to see how you handle certain obstacles. I hope you have a Merry Christmas and enjoy your well deserved break!
Im so glad you did another one of these videos!
Thank you so much! I'm really enjoying filming them!
I remember making one of those ordainments in Kindergarten. I’m 25 and my parents still treasure it and put it on the tree every year
I LOVE the real life teacher moments! They make me feel 1000000x better about my craziness ! Also LOVE the vlogs! Keep em coming!
Girl, Dollar Tree! They have holiday socks, they have plastic clear ornaments. They have all the things. Hands down, my favorite store.
I wasn't 100% on being a teacher until I started watching your vlogs (I'm obviously not watching them all in order) but if someday I am half the the teacher you are I will be happy!
You did an awesome job! January is always the point when I re teach rules and procedures....
Thank you so much! I have definitely slacked on reteaching rules and procedures the past 2 years so I want to make sure I hit it hard this year. My kiddos definitely need it!
You do not need to apologize, you don't seem unorganized to me! Your classroom looks very fun and educational, you're a great teacher!! I'm a freshman in college and I'm majoring in education. I feel like your videos give me a great REAL LIFE (: look at what I'm in for as a future teacher. Hope you have a nice relaxing break❤️
Thank you so much! I appreciate you saying that!
I almost cried when I saw this video was posted! Lol, I just love love love these!!!
I LAUGHED SO HARD AND LOUD AT THE MELTED SNOWMAN! Don't feel bad about giving students consequences. Teachers understand, and I hope others will too. Unfortunately when there are no consequences kids grow up to be adults who don't understand rules, laws, and consequences. You are an amazing teacher. You do so much for your students, and they will grow up to appreciate the "touch love" you showed them. Have a wonderful holiday! Warm wishes for the season, and the very best for 2017. Get some rest!
Hahaha, I'm glad you found it funny! Thankfully today I found a small fake carrot at Michaels for about $0.80 so next year I will be all set! I agree that students definitely need and appreciate the "tough love" sometimes. Both of the students I sent out came back and apologized after the movie was over so I think it worked out okay! Thank you so much and I hope you have a wonderful holiday as well! Get some rest too!!
Your videos are great! Don't apologize for being "unprepared" or "disorganized" at times. You're doing a great job! Your an awesome teacher regardless! It's my first year teaching & im learning not to be so hard on ourselves as teachers! Keep up your great work 👍🏻😊
I know this is not that educational.. but if they have a lot of energy i would recommend Go noodle. Its like a dance thing. The people on the screen tell them what to do. either do it for getting the wiggles out or as a "reward" My students love it! also,Its FREE.
I do that same stained-glass craft with my fourth graders, and they love it! I even have some of the same patterns (tree and bell). I like the idea of using zip lock bags. We just tape Saran Wrap over the pattern on a clipboard or white board.
I appreciate all the work you put into your classroom. You really go the extra mile. Thanks for the look into your classroom.
I have done the ornament thing before it turned out awesome.it was a Galaxy, it looks just like the Galaxy
Love your vlogs so much! I love having an insight of what teaching will truly be like and I love that you don't sugarcoat it!
I literally laughed out loud when you said one of the students ate the cookie crumbs hahahaha
I’m currently working on my bachelors in elementary education and I’ll be completing my student teaching in the spring. I’ve watched so many of your videos and love how open and honest you are about the profession. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us.
Love that you are showing the real side of teaching! As a fellow OCDer, I was the last teacher to leave school yesterday because I stayed to clean up and organize after my chaotic week! Upside, I will be able to walk into a clean classroom after break!😊
I appreciate you showing a realistic view of what teaching is like, especially before a Break. A lot is expected and sometimes you feel completely consumed by all of the check boxes that need to be checked; I think you handled it very well and your students are truly lucky to have such a dedicated and caring teacher :) Merry Christmas and enjoy your Break!
I love that you give honest days. Although I do think you're insane for staying up past midnight. I'm very lucky and haven't had to do that yet.
Love your videos. I think you are an amazing teacher. I truly appreciate your honesty. I am working toward my teaching degree and have been substitute teaching for the past few years. I know life in the classroom can be chaotic! It's so interesting and refreshing to hear about when things go wrong as well as right. Thank you for sharing!
I'm not a teacher or not even near the age of being able to become a teacher. I am in fact going through my GCSE's in the UK and have found myself so interested in how much work my teachers put in and I am learning to appreciate all the work and over time you do especially as a what we call in England a primary school teacher. Looking back at those times I looked over how much time it would take to cut out things and how much time you spend creating boards for your classroom and making it look amazing. You inspire so many students. Keep going, its with your hard work outstanding little people are created xx
I love love love your videos. This shows the realistic side of teaching that I wanted to see. I graduate in May and these videos are helping me so much. You're awesome! Happy break!!
You're amazing and such an inspiration. I'll be student teaching starting in July and I'm already taking mental notes.
I'm loving your vlogs! Hearing how incredibly long your days are is intimidating (education major here) but nothing is un-doable! I love how you tell it how it is. You go girl!! Enjoy these next two weeks 😊😘
YES 47 MIN VIDEO!
also props to you being a 2nd grade teacher on top of putting out youtube content I can tell watching gf you are doing teachers a wonderful service thank you very much from someone Who isn't a teacher your making my gf happy and so everybody is happy. merry Christmas from the bottom of my heart

Glad to see another teacher from MD. I am originally from the Eastern Shore. Have fun on your break. My county gets out on Wednesday. Three days to Go.
I am about to begin student teaching in January, and really appreciate the honesty in your vlog! After getting through my final semester of classes I totally feel the living minute by minute life! Also during my pre-student teaching some nights were like your 2am planning night with early mornings. It is nice not to feel alone! Enjoy your break! I know I am ;)
I love these videos! Your students are extremely lucky to have such a dedicated teacher. Not all teachers would only get 3 hours of sleep and spend their own money to have fun, engaging activities for their students. Great job!!!
I am a pre-k teacher and this has been the first week in the last two years where I have planned for each day the morning I arrived to school. I'm happy to see I'm not the only one who has been slacking! My kids behavior hasn't been the best either. I'm hoping after break everyone(including myself) gets back on track. I can't wait to see your next vlog!
I am one semester away from graduating and your videos give me so much motivation! I am currently working at a school subbing, aftercare, extra help, etc. But you make me so excited to have my own class and classroom ❤️ these are my favorite videos!
I appreciate you telling it like it is. I enjoy your videos and look forward to the next one. Have a restful break!
I loved the five days of Christmas goodies! Such a nice little treat to help the kids get through the last week before break.
I love this video! We need to see more realistic school days! Thanks for sharing!
Your vlogs are so funny! I loved that one of your students ate the cookie crumbs. Enjoy your break. You're a great teacher!
I Love your channel .. your honesty is refreshing. I can't wait to hit the classroom someday soon. THANK YOU!
I actually love seeing a "real" week. It makes the rest of us feel normal. How long do you have off? Sorry if I missed that info. We have now finished our school year (Australia) and have 6 weeks off for our summer break. Not as long as yours, but long enough to still regenerate for the new year. We had the full moon in our last week of the year - made things a little "hairy". At least most of the curriculum content was done so we had more leeway to let things go.
As a urban educator of low income students as well behaviors can be challenging. I always try to remember that kids who act out are generally seeking out for a need not being met. While it may seem like they are just being "disrespectful" it's generally not that. I found that pulling my student(s) for an individual conference for 5 minutes during my prep to talk about what I'm seeing and letting them talk to me openly opens up a world of what I didn't even realize was going on with them. Also parents almost always want the best for their children, they just might not have the skills or ability to provide that for their children. Just a little food for thought. I hope you have a restful break! I enjoy watching your vlogs!
Also, that's so awesome that your school participates in a therapy dog reading program! That's wonderful. I worked with therapy dogs in high school for my graduation program.
I love your videos I want to be a teacher when I grow up I watch to the very end on all of your videos
I am not sure why your videos popped up on my UA-cam, but I am glad they did. I have been watching you all day from the first one on. I love watching all your ideas, orgnizational skills and even the raw moments where teaching can be crazy and stressful. I hope to be in the classroom one day. These videos are great! Love them.
I am graduating High School next year in June and watching your vlogs have given me so much inspiration to go through with the major I always saw myself in which is Education. Love these vlogs and I can't wait for more!
I appreciate the fact that you are so real!!
I'm so glad I discovered your videos -- your misadventures with your kids remind me so much of what I am experiencing with mine. LOL I teach second grade, and we don't get out until the 23rd. Oh my goodness! I have been doing the same Christmas Around the World unit with my kiddos. Also trying to squeeze in mid-year benchmarks and individual reading assessments. This week, rehearsals, school program, parties, etc. It's the most wonderful time of the year... haha Thanks for sharing and have a great week!
Loved the vlog! You definitely have no need to apologize. This was a realistic example of how teaching will be and I loved it! You still have things together lol
Happy Winter Break! Your week matches mine. I am just glad I got my grades done. Plans can be made over break. It's time to relax!
Love these vlog type videos!!! Please keep doing them! Have a GREAT break!
Great video as always! I'm an education student and love the fact you keep it real and show the less perfect parts of your classroom & life - it makes me less terrified that I don't know what I'm getting into! Having said that I know there will still be things I'm not prepared for, but ce la vie!
Thank you so much! There will always be things you are unprepared for... there are still things for me! One of the only ways to grow and improve is through experience. It's hard admitting sometimes that we don't have it all figured out but that's how we will get better!
Michelle, you are awesome! I love your honesty and willingness to share your ideas and struggles! The fact that you even took the time to video your last week of school and then put this vlog together...wow. You are a rockstar! 😊
Dana, you are seriously the sweetest and most genuine person ever! Your kindness inspires me all the time! Thank you so much for all your kind words! I am so happy our paths crossed... if you are going to the TpT conference next summer we need to meet up!!
I meant every word!! I'm going to the conference and would love to meet!! 😊
This is what I do when I have a drink carrier...I seatbelt them in so I do not have spills :). Great videos and I'm so glad that I am not the only one that had a crazy, hectic but enjoyable last week before break! Enjoy your break.
I truly appreciate this video. I teach in the Caribbean with a class of 33 kids with NO ASSISTANT or support and it's a battle each and every day. I do get that it can be demotivating especially when you teach families of low income who lack the understanding and care for their kids that you as the educator have to be the Teacher, Counselor, Doctor and everything else for these kids while fighting to do your day's work. Least that's what I endure every day. I was overjoyed on the last day of school that I couldn't wait to get home, lol. I do plan to be more organized in the upcoming year. Honestly I worry about the possibilities of reaching to all 33 kids in which half have Special Needs but I gotta keep the faith. Thank you for sharing, you're awesome for doing all that you do and appreciated.
Thank you so much for your kind words! I can't imagine having that many students! That would be a struggle for sure. This is the first year I've really had support in my room and there are both positives and negatives with it. I definitely think it's hard to fully reach all learners in any classroom when the students are at multiple levels for every subject. All we can do is our best and remember that we are making a bigger different for our students than we know :)
I used your idea for the ornaments and my kids loved it !!! I used vinyl for there names :) thanks for the great ideas.
I love your videos! I am on winter break now! Yessssss! My kids were also acting crazy!
I love how real your vlogs up!! Please keep up the great work!!
I am loving these vlogs! I still have a full week of school this week, you are so lucky you're off! Enjoy the holidays!
Love the five days of Christmas! I enjoyed your video. Merry Christmas
I have always wanted to be a teacher when I am older so this is good because you get to see what it is really like
I am an art teacher and your videos have given me many ideas for my content area. Thank u for sharing!!! I also passed this channel onto a first year teacher to help her get started Thinking about organization. Yours is my favorite Vlog
Watching Therese back now in August 2017. December 16th was the day I graduated year 6. I live in Australia 👌👌
Happy New Year!! I love your vlogs, and am very much looking forward to seeing more in the new year!!!
Sometimes you say that you are such a horrible teacher, but I personally think you are an amazing teacher. You really are such a great and inspirational person, and I would love to have yo as a teacher. Just keep in mind that you are doing great and I think you should keep being the amazing person you are.
Thank you! I am absolutely using the stain glass window idea next year 😊
I really liked all of your activities and the gifts throughout the week. keep it "real" because it's great to see that no one teacher is perfect. I really like your video's.
Thank you for sharing your wonderful ideas! :)
Yay ! You made another one of these, they're so relatable- make me not feel so alone in getting the teacher crazies ! we don't finish until Wednesday this week 😩 think the dvds will be coming out in force on Monday !
Can you do a video on how you got your first teaching job? :)
I wish she said Yes like this
Pocketful of primary) Yes Sure I will !! 😊
Thanks for your videos Erica
Michelle, you are doing an incredible job! I teach second grade also and I had a bonkers week as well. However, I got 1/10 if the things done that you did! I was so blown away that you tried to make everything more fun and engaging for your kiddos when they were naughty! It's usually those times when I want to make things the least fun (bad, I know!) Those kids are so lucky to have you! Enjoy your break!!!
Hannah
I love watching these!!!!
You've got this girl!! Use this break to recharge and reset!
Honestly this video was really helpful! I'm a education major and I like to see the real side of teachers so thank you for that and such cute craft ideas ! :)
Thank you so much for your kind words! I am so happy you enjoyed it and it was helpful! I definitely think more teachers need to be willing to show the less glamorous side of teaching so that education majors know what to really expect. I struggled so much my first year because I just wasn't prepared for the reality of teaching!
Pocketful of Primary Your welcome ! :) I would love to see some diy videos on different crafts you do with your class throughout the year. That would be fun to see! Continue doing what your doing because I'm taking notes haha :)
I'm an ed major & have only my final internship left until I graduate! I love your videos & I have so many good ideas from you! You are awesome!
Thank you so much for your kind words! I hope you love your internship! It can be stressful but it is such a great experience! Make sure you try as many new strategies and ideas as possible... it's so much easier to try them with you have your mentor teacher's support and advice!
I love your vlog! I think you are pretty organized and a fun teacher for your kiddos!i am so glad you show the real stuff. I've been teaching for 13 years and I relate to your life so well! Thanks for sharing, I get so many awesome ideas from you! Merry Christmas
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad you can relate and get ideas! Merry Christmas to you as well!
Love your vlogs!! 😊
I really like your videos, especially since there aren't too many teacher vloggers on UA-cam! Please continue vlogging about your day as a teacher:)
So many great ideas!! I love the parent gift and Christmas around the world. We have a another week to go. How are you doing your book study for Frindle? Have a great break !!!
Girl, I totally get it. This year I have first graders/yesterday was our last day before break too. Thanks for sharing all of your ideas. They're so helpful for first year teachers!!
Merry Christmas from Florida :)
Mia
I am so happy you found it helpful! Merry Christmas to you too! (Jealous that you're in Florida!)
Come visit Florida sometime!! :) I have a question, could you possibly send me some ideas for the New Year of ways to motivate first grade students that do not want to write? mtome@gccas.org if you want to email anything. Thanks :)
You are too cute! I love your vlogs and hope you continue vlogging. Your worksheets/ activities I hope you do put ithem n your store. Yes, there are a few of us like you who are up all night, and aren't all that together, but we still get the job done. Hope you enjoy your vacation and get some rest. I love the Christmas ornament.
Love your vlogs too! Keep it real girl! You are lucky..still one week to go before break.
Thank you so much! So many kudos to you because I can't even imagine going for another week!
I think I've taken sleeping in to a whole new level. I haven't woken up before noon for the last two weeks, lol!!! The kids come back next Monday !
New subscriber. Heard about your channel on smartiestyle's channel. Even though I teach middle grades. I love watching elementary teachers I find many ideas I can adapt. Happy holidays.
The thumbnail was so funny also this video is so inspiring you are great with your teacher tricks and all someday I want to be a teacher and I only watch you for fun you are amazing at organizing and making your classroom tours and all this is just amazing and this helps so much!
Im an education major and new to all of this, do you make every single one of your worksheets? You're a great example, I'm really excited to start teaching in a few years.
I create a lot of the worksheets that I use in my classroom but not all of them. I find a lot of products on TeachersPayTeachers to use... such as all the materials for the Holidays Around the World unit I showed in this video! I made a ton of worksheets my first year of teaching so I don't have to create quite as much now!
I love that you keep it real!! Thank you! :) "Don't sniff it!" lol! :)
I’m in a van with my papa granny mom and 6yo cousin headed to South Carolina evacuating hurricane Irma thank you for giving me something to do
I'm an Education major as well I can't wait to start teaching
Oh my gosh stop apologizing! You're such a great teacher and you obviously care so much about your kids! I love everything you prepare for your class! I would love a video on how you make your printables on PowerPoint! Love all your videos and vlogs : )
The staples made me laugh. I have done that with paper clips... I find them clipped on the hem of my shirt! Hope you are relaxing!
You're awesome ... Don't be so hard on yourself 👊🏼
Aww, thank you so much!
You seem like such a good teacher
thank you for the video!!
