This is an awesome video. I have over 20 years of teaching. You are doing great yourself!

Another thing you can do for breakfast is have your students sit at a certain table if you have extra space. That way those students get to interact with other kids, but they are still mostly focused on eating.

One thing I started toward the end of the year that I loved and wished I had started sooner was doing a 30-60 second mindful breathing video after recess. I feel like it helped the students transition from playing hard outside to math block. When we came in from recess, I would turn the lights off and we would sit in the carpet. I had a rowdy group this year and it saved me toward the end of the year 😅.

Love the idea of students decorating quotes posters- can you tell me where you get the quotes and the directions you give your students regarding decorating them? Is this something you do at the beginning of the year?

I think its so great that you are trying different things and seeing which things work. Teachers who are proud of what they do make a huge difference in these kid's (me) lives! great content

I love iReady Fluency Flight is a hit for independent practice. Assigning interactive practice lessons for some topics was helpful and gave me data to know who still needed support. Congrats on your baby. He’s so adorable. Prayers to your husband as he battles through!❤

Thank you for the ideas. Gentle, safe, and right to the point!

Love this vlog! I teach first grade and they all loved the birthday board! I also got them little gift bags for their birthdays and pre-made them ahead of time. Tried not to go overboard on the expense but it was a huge hit for the kids all year long. We celebrated the summer birthdays in May before school ended, so that nobody was left out.

Our school has WIN time, which is also an intervention block. For the first time this year, I created videos on concepts that needed to be reinforced, and then I would assign them on Google Classroom. The videos were very basic. I just used my document camera to show the page as I explained. It was a "we do" type of experience so my kids would follow along and complete the page with me. My kids absolutely loved it because they could pause as they needed, listen to something again, etc. I loved it because felt like I was being more intentional with what they were working on, and it was extra practice that we did "together." Also, kids could work on it at any time during the block, so they were never "missing" anything. It was always there. I will definitely be doing this again. Hope this helps! I'm glad to see your family doing so well, and I'm loving your videos! Take care! ❤

Thanks for hanging out with me today! Subscribe so you don't miss any mom or teacher content coming! I meant to mention in the video and totally blanked - this video idea was totally inspired by Mrs. Katie In Elementary. I absolutely love her and her content. Here's a link to the video that inspired me! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/geCWdrdkz5_Xd2w.html

Thank you for all of the advice! I’m expecting my first baby in November and love the tips!💝 do you have any baby care book recommendations? I’m also so happy your husbands scans were looking good 🙏

A long vlog! How lucky I am to be able to have this to watch as I prepare for work today! :-) An awesome, real video. Thank you.

Missed you. Thanks for the update.

Love the video! Great advice for moms...as a mom of three grown ups now...all babies are different and you just never know which baby personality they will have....all are different and some easier than others.

Keep calm and don't care what others think.

i bet you are a great mom 🫶🏻🫶🏻

I’m proud of you!

I have a 4 year old and she was 4lbs when she was born so I was terrified to take her anywhere at first because she was so tiny. The car seat buckle took up her whole body. But I feel confident that if I have another baby, I won’t feel as terrified lol

❤ happy kid

UPS driver here nearing the end of my 20s. You are a wonderful hardworking girl. Thank you for helping me put words to some of the things I'm feeling

Beautiful messages! <3 Happy belated birthday!

Agree with all your life lessons. I'm in my 40's now, but wish I had accepted more help in my 20's and spent more time with my parents and extended family. I felt like I had to prove I had everything together and could do it on my own, when really those who care about you want to help.

This was beautiful! Thank you for sharing. My dad passed from pancreatic cancer when I was in my early 30's and had two young children. Time is everything. I'm also a teacher and I wish everyone could watch your inspiring video. Hope you had a wonderful birthday. Prayers for all to heal and get better :)

I so needed to hear this. Thank you for sharing. Sending love and prayers for your family. ❤❤🙏🙏

Happy Belated Birthday, Victoria! Thanks for sharing your wise 10 lessons. Your having learned them this early in your young life is so fortunate!

This is so incredibly sweet ❤ just a loving reminder that babies really need their face completely clear at all times. Suffocation can happen so quickly. I have no doubt you're keeping such a close eye on your little one, but it can happen so fast. Also just for anyone else watching- there are so many ways to keep your baby warm, and this can be a good option as long as it's unzipped around their face.

Happy Birthday Victoria ♥️ 🥰

Girl you are such a sweetheart! I wish you nothing but the best! Happy birthday!

Nice❤

May God be with you and bless you also. Amen ❤😂

You are such a kind and bright person! 🌷 ☀️ For lunch, I either make a salad with pistachios and crispy roasted chickpeas for protein, or if it is summertime I love making smoothie bowls with granola, nuts, and fresh fruit on top! I am so glad postpartum is going well and so glad to hear that your family is feeling community support! 💕

Thank you for the motivation) I don't have time for anything with one child)

Love your smile and joyful spirit! Congratulations on your sweet baby and also prayers and strength for you and your family as you are strong for each other!❤
