THANK YOU! It's such a shock for every teacher when they enter the field just HOW MUCH we all do on the day-to-day. I might only be 23 years old but I feel like a mom to many of my middle schoolers. They see me more than their own families! This year is just an added challenge with hybrid and distance learning. It’s like TWO JOBS in one! I just posted a video entitled #FirstYearTeacherAdvice. I learned so much in my first year teaching ESL Middle School Social Studies. Your video just proves how much TEACHERS ROCK!

From a girl in quarantine- Brit, you’re really just proving to me that teaching is where I wanna go!! Big thank you♥️

For the paint strips to display, have your students pick out a golden line from their narrative that they love! I have my kids share golden lines all the time and they've gotten better at choosing ones that are all encompassing from doing so. Love your videos Brit! Be well and stay safe :)

I’m not even a teacher or studying education, but I loved this!!

As a student who has been through middle school i know ur students will love this project purely because we all used to go crazy over any opportunity to go outside!

You are such a light! Future teacher here! One year of college left!! Also when you said middle schoolers love games, I’m in college and I LOVE games!!

Yes! I would love to see more of this as you go. This helped remind me to look at lesson planning as something that can fun.

Thank you! Very helpful! I‘m student teaching and a little disappointment, because I have to teach only the content the teacher wants me to. But I have such a bigger vision for them. I‘m trying to see this as a chance for me to grow more professionally and when I have my own class I know I can include all my great ideas! Hanging in there. And thanks for this! Love from Germany

I love how you asked your students for their input regarding your glasses. Little things like this let them know that their voices are important and heard! This video was also so helpful (I'd love to see more in the future!) as I'm going to be teaching my first lesson next month as a student teacher!

Ahhh yes I’ve been waiting for one of these! So excited to watch! Graduating next year to be a math teacher 😊

So excited for this video! Applying for high school science teacher positions for the next school year and I’m so excited to be in the classroom, but I get so much anxiety around lesson planning! Watching other teachers and their process is so helpful for me. Thank you so much!

Hi Britanny, thank you so much for your videos! As a student teacher struggling through her program during this blasted pandemic, it really helps to see you push through everything with so much enthusiasm. I'm currently planning for the second semester and videos like this help a ton.

Hi Mrs Brittany, I'm so happy to see your pretty face again in a video and thanks for sharing how you plan lessons. I really like your glasses and they look so professional on you 👍. I have some face masks tips to share. Tips for wearing mask when facing anxiety 1. Find a mask that you want to touch and hold while doing something you enjoy such as watching TV. 2. Put the mask on while you are at home or somewhere you feel safe. 3. Wear the mask around the house. 4. Wear the mask outside the house. Tips for feeling anxious when wearing a mask. 1. Remind yourself the mask isn't dangerous. 2. Remind yourself you can take it off whenever you want if necessary. 3. Slow your breathing. 4. Practice wearing a mask at home where you feel safer. 5. Find a mask that works for you. Additional tips. Breathe from the nose instead of the mouth. Focus less on the mask to reduce anxiety. Put essential oils inside your mask to keep it odor free and help you feel more relaxed. How to prevent foggy glasses while wearing a mask 1 Use good anti-fog product. 2 Place glasses on top of the mask. 3 Fit the mask properly to your face. 4 Use medical tape to create a seal. 5 Absorb the moisture by putting some tissue inside your mask.

I’m about to start my independent student teaching this month and your videos have been such a helping hand when I’m feeling overwhelmed. You radiate joy when teaching/planning and it reminds me that this profession is so worth it. 💕

Ms. Brittany, I wish there was a writing focused class in middle school. I love writing stories with colorful descriptions. You are teaching narrative writing and descriptive writing to your seventh grade English class this semester. I love how you design lessons and assignments that are creative. I use my vivid imagination wherever I can. A beautiful story is one with well developed characters, a plot following story structure, and descriptions that makes the story captivating for it to come to life. Poetry is a wonderful way to teach your students to use sensory details in their writing. I am currently working on a few writing projects alongside my schoolwork and I hope to teach a creative writing workshop in the next few years. I love you

as an education major about to student teach for the first time while quarantined, thank you for this. your channel has helped immensely to teach me things I'm not getting in my online education courses and i come back to you every time i need reassurance that teaching is what i want to do. sending love

I have a little binder of future lesson plan ideas and one of my faves is to have the students create a short poem about their color on a paint strip! Love this!! 💛

THANK YOU for this content! And YOU! I’m student teaching at the moment & I’m SO grateful for this!!!!! I would love to see the remainder too ☺️

This is what I needed! I’m a first year, 2nd grade ESOL teacher (just graduated in December) and I’m still trying to figure out how to get my kiddos excited for learning. Although you teach an age group that’s very different from mine, you inspired me to think of ways to make ME feel more excited to teach! Seeing you be so into what you’re planning made me realize that obviously your students are going to be excited because YOU’RE so excited! Thank you💛

Love seeing how other teachers lesson plan! Awesome video! ❤️

I loved this video! This is such a cool idea for a writing assignment. I especially love the plan to take them outside to find their color and get inspiration. Thank you so much for sharing. I hope you do more videos like this.

Yup, challenge, games, competitions, and etc is the way to go with middle school. It doesn't matter what it is, they are going to be fully engaged and do it. :)

Ah I loved this! Can’t wait to see the outcome 😍 Love watching your videos! I have just finished my student teaching and start officially in August 🤞 Big love from Scotland 👏🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

this is so so helpful! i just started my first education class & didn’t know where to start when it comes to a lesson plan. thank you so much!!

what i needed after a long weekeend :) you continue to inspire me! I hope you are taking care of yourself

you make me soooo excited to become a teacher, i cannot wait, thank you for inspiring me 🤍

This came at the PERFECT time! It’s the last week of 2nd quarter and my plans pretty much run out Friday 😂 I needed inspo 💛💛💛

I’m not a teacher but this was still so interesting and enlightening! You teachers are seriously amazing. There’s so much work and thought that goes into teaching outside the hours of your work. I did seriously consider becoming a teacher because during my time in school, I had some not great teachers but also lots of great passionate teachers that made me feel excited about what we were learning and I wanted to be able to do that for kids! I think you’re definitely one of those teachers ❤️✨

This was really like helpful. Not trying to get super stressed out with planning this semester

Ooh this so exciting!! Hope you’re having an awesome weekend ❤️

Oooh this inspired me! Love a teacher that gets creative! Now I’m thinking you could have them smell the foods and say words that the colors and smells bring to mind. How they associate. Oh all the possibilities!

I hope you get to have a student teacher some day, you would be an amazing cooperating teacher! 🤩

You always make me so excited to become a teacher!

You have given me an idea for a writing class or series on sensory reading and writing for neurodivergent students on Autism spectrum, ADHD, and Dyslexia. ♡

Yes!! Love the video!!

Love this idea- you could also have the kids share their writing and see if the other students can guess what they are describing, did they paint a clear enough picture with their words!? 🤔

I just accepted a job for 8th grade ELA today!! I’ve been watching you for a couple years and I cannot believe I am teaching the same subject/age group as you. I went to college to teach high school social studies but there were no openings around me so I got certified in middle school ELA, and here we are 🥰

Love it! I plan the same way! I get so caught up in all the fun and thinking big. Totally extra! I have to narrow down my 100 activities to like 3-4. I just want them to do everything! I have a question, what teacher youtubers do you follow or recommend? I would like to discover more. Of course you will always be my #1 ;)

I love Warby Parker. I had a pair of glasses with them, but my dog decided to jump on the bathroom counter and have them as a snack so that was sad. I'm going to try out the five pairs! Thanks Brit. xo

i’m going to college to be a teacher in the fall and i hope to do youtube just like you!! so inspiring❤️

(Just discovered you and am binging your videos!!) I would be very interested to see how you would modify and/or use scaffolds for students on an IEP/504 plans or for students who have not yet developed these skills! Thanks!!! Love your videos so much!!

In September I'm going to university to study elementary education but I thought I'd say, as a high school senior, you talking about the colour writing project made me want to write the assignment myself

You should do one on how you keep track of participation/ rewards. They’re so hard to be consistent with!

Your videos make me so excited to become a teacher!

I just got my first teaching job as a middle school science teacher and this video was helpful even though I'm in science! I am an alternative certification teacher and a first year teacher doing hybrid and in the middle of the year!! I'm looking at all the ideas. I start with my students after this week. ♡

Omg I use the same pens!! I love them so much.

Yes to wedding videos!!

I love this! I teach 1st grade right now but I always thought I'd like to teach upper elementary (3rd-5th grade mostly). Your videos have made me want to move up even more 😂

You could totally use Haiku with this for the paint strip display! Haiku is super easy to teach and it would be a good poetic summary style.

I’m currently student teaching 7th grade ELA in California and we are currently all virtual. All my planning experience has been for virtual learning but I have a feeling hybrid will be next. So this is super helpful to see planning for covid era online and in person

I don't know about America, but Australia you can just stop into the paint store and take a bunch of those paint sample cards. I used to do that with art journaling and design work.

please do wedding planning videos! i would loveeee to hear about it 🤍🤍

Keep doing these!

I would love to see more of these! Can you do one on argumentative writing middle school unit?

Thank you for the video!

Hey! I came back to your channel (you must have left an impression on me a few months ago when I started looking up English Teachers before I graduated!) Anyways - I need help. 1). Where do you find your lesson plans? I am completely lost. 2). What do you do for scent/music/lighting (ambience) in the classroom? I need to create a warm, inviting space because the students I will be teaching have NOT had that from an English teacher yet.

Hi hun, how often do you make lesson plans? do you do it by the quarters(2 month increments in my district) or by a unit(1 month)

i’m absolutely interested in following along with your wedding planning journey!! i’m getting married in less than a year! january of 2022 😌

If you go into any home depot or lowes or store that is similar, you can get tons and tons of paint cards for free! I did a similar thing with my community service group where we made bookmarks out of them, and no one minds that you take them since they’re already free :)

Love all your creativity when you plan your units! I can’t remember if you’ve done opinion writing yet & did a plan with me then? My 2nd graders are starting opinion writing this week and would love to see what you did and if I can modify it for my littles 😊

Right now I'm dual-majoring in education and Spanish language and every day that I'm not stressed to the max, I feel a distinct feeling of "How is it legal that THIS is what I get to spend my days doing?"

I’m about to start student teaching and I’m SO SCARED! I feel like I’m not going to know how to teach 😅 do you have any tips? Is my host teacher going to expect me to know how to do everything because of college? 😅

What do you mean by providing guided notes? My students struggle with note taking and would love to know what you are referring to.

Do you have to write out a specific lesson plan using a template for your admin?

Are you still using the Happy Planner?

Teacher, What's means five foot one teacher ,

Where are my English Education majors at?

Do you even have to ask if we want wedding content??

Instead of planning lessons... play movies for your students please and thank you 😂

Hey. Is English yours mother tongue?
