How interesting! Always enjoy your videos.

My mother who once heard us repeat the word stupidly/dumb because we (me and my sisters) had heard it without knowing what it meant except how it was used asked us, "and what does that mean". Then she explained why such words should absolutely not be used, and how it was offensive to ourselves, and I don't know how to call it-it is worse than wrong to say them. She explained to us that this all dumb and idiot and weak-minded are called people with real medical diseases (mostely brain damages) and conditions which, unlike us and the person we have called so, do not have the opportunity to be healthy develop, and at a minimum we must show respect for people in such a state (for example, the so-called weak-minded). Sorry for my english I still lerned it

So I had a student last year that thought is was funny to refer to all Latino kids as Mexican.

Thumbs down until the rest of the video is uploaded

English and drama teacher here too! First year. I’d love some videos on how you teach drama! Or better yet, direct a musical. I need help lol

You never finished the answer to the last video about this. 😢

I need the next part and it cut off 😅

Marie, you're always my role model - and my astrological twin, because we are the *exact* same age and on similar paths .. Including the divorce thing - would really like for you to share more about that, if you want to - so long, great tee! Cheers

Google Forms can be collected onto a spreadsheet. And could be connected to a QR code.

Great video! Will you be sharing a flip through of your 2024-2025 teacher bullet journal or planbook?

Jr. High (7-9 grades) Drama (and Choir and Guitar) teacher here! I would LOVE to see your backstage spaces and how you organize them! I have been working all summer to get our props, costumes, and building supplies organized so they will be more usable for my second year teaching. I am blessed to have a good sized auditorium, but I don't have much room backstage, fly system or dressing rooms/bathrooms/sinks, or shop. I inherited kind of a mess in my school auditorium, and though I know it will never be "done," I have to at least try to keep some semblance of order so I don't have the chaos that I dealt with last year! Also, do you have any tips for teaching on the stage in a big auditorium space? I do have an office, but no classroom, and keeping the students focused in such a big space is not easy. I've thought about building a school room "set," but I think I've run out of time for that. (And our auditorium is frequently rented by other groups, so everything has to be easily moved and stored.) Whew! Thanks for listening, and thank you for posting more Theatre teacher content!!! 🙂

❤❤❤

So inspring to see your ideas over the years. Getting me excited about going back!

I've used those hooks before in my classroom, and they are fabulous!

I’m sure you’ve shared where your iconic eyeliner is from before…can you please point me in the direction of where that information is?? 😩

where is your shirt from??

I’m preparing to go back to my HS Continuation class in August..Lausd…and I am looking here for some updates..Love ya girl..so reall!!! I too, am creating a ‘Calm Corner,” so my kids can use tactile stuff, or do a coloring page, or smell a lavender lotion or spray to calm down..I like the idea of QR codes for resources…

Loveeeeee hearing you talk through your priorities! 🎉

You guys are so fun!! Thanks for sharing!!

Hello the BNt bundle is it for 11th grade? I have so many questions. I am a 12 th grade teacher and now have been switched and would like to pick your brain.

Wtf it’s July

You have issues lady

Hey! I'm new to your channel..😎

Welcome to California schools. 😂

Filed trip to Walt Disney world! What!!!!!!! I'm jealous

I definitely need a charging cord check out station. Excited to see what you come up with!

Love it!

I love the recommendations idea for building community. I teach middle school. I’ll have to borrow this idea for sure! I like that it’s what they’re reading but also maybe what shows they recommend and such. Fun!

Lol “school smell” I can only imagine 😂

Great, thanks!!

I love you so much and it was so wonderful to be with you in your ELEMENT!!! Your kids are soooo friggin lucky to have you!!!

Thanks for sharing. I love the Shakespeare Shrine. I really miss the daily/weekly vlogs that you used to do.

Thank you so much for sharing! You gave me so many ideas for my own classroom.

THANK YOU for showing how you use your spaces as a Drama teacher! I teach Drama and Choir (and Guitar) to 7th, 8th, and 9th graders, and while I am so GRATEFUL to have an auditorium at my disposal most of the time, it is difficult to teach all my classes on a stage and not in a classroom. I just need some ideas on how to keep Junior High kids focused and corralled on my stage. SIGH. (That is my way of asking you to post more Drama Teacher videos! ;-D)

WOW! as a fellow theater teacher, your theater is gorgeous!

here in nevada! we also have outdoor bathrooms, but now that i think about it, they've always been under something, haha. like -there's a roof over your head. if it's raining, you're not getting soaked to use the bathroom - unless you use the one by the cafeteria or you're in a portable

Welcome to California (bathrooms outside and classrooms opening directly outside)

So fun to set up and prep with friends!!

Hello. I was looking for the five free podcasts for back to school. Where can I find these? Also, how do the students feel when it is storming and have to use the bathroom? Thank you.

Teacher bestie goals.

We have outside bathrooms in Oz.

I went to high school with open-air hallways (we called them breezeways) in Savannah, GA, BUT all our bathrooms were indoors. 😂

Nah I still use it. I don't like that rainbow shi

Couldn’t be more relatable, Marie! 😄

Cute top

Power strips/surge protectors with really long cables saved my students so often.

Yayyyy thanks for sharing! I agree with all that you have gotten so far lol.

Ok so was saying "overall" at the end an intentional pun or a happy accident?

Where can I find the ‘list?’ Looking everywhere. I’d like the off brand calm strips. Thanks.
