FIRST DAY OF FIRST GRADE | Day in the Life of a Teacher

Are you allowed to wear spaghetti straps?

Yeeees...shoe companies, if you want to really put your designs to the test, get teachers to wear them for a day.

Not going to lie, instead of being excited about the new air conditioner, I truly thought you were going to say that you were excited that the number chart behind you stayed up over the weekend for the first time in 2 years!! Hahaha......I have been watching since the first video and that dang chart is always on the ground....am I right? lol. Have a great year Lauren! All the best to you and your sweet first graders!

Your enthusiasm is amazing, hopefully all of your students have shown up by now. By week 2 half of my students got quarantined so I have been teaching only 6 kids in person. Lots of one on one. 😆

On the free choice time you can pull the kids that didn’t learn procedures to learn them then really quick

Do you have a boyfriend

ahh girl what mascara do you use?!

I’m really behind on vlogs, so I just skipped 2 of your set up videos to come see what was so exciting about your first day. GIRL. AN AIR CONDITIONER?! The first day of school didn’t have to go off like that!!!! Real in person kids AND AC. Teaching goals 🤣

It was so crazy to hear you say that you’re a 3rd year 1st grade teacher! 😳 That time seems to have gone so fast!

That starvin Marvin reference made me giggle lol

Congratulations Lauren on your first day of school. Loved the dress and earrings. I have watched your vlogs for a long time. They are always interesting and informative. The thing I truly love about you is your sense of humor. Your facial expressions are priceless. I laughed so much when you discussed the black garbage bag covering the fan.😂 You are a comedian. Have a fun and successful school year. Your children will love you!

I bet administration said we need to keep her. Order AC😂. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💙💙💙🧡🧡💜💜💜🤍🤍🤍

Congrats on the air conditioning and in school learning. I had a white spaghetti strap eyelet dress like that in the early 80's.
Loved that dress. ☺️. Been watching since you were a first year, first grade teacher in Massachusetts. I'm a 15 year infant teacher in corporate daycare in Ohio. Your love for your job, the kids and your enthusiasm keep me coming back. Hope you have a great year.

Do you have structured play in first grade? i.e. play activities in different centres.

I was so happy to hear about your A/C! I hope Kim from Elementary in the Mitten gets some A/C too! I have 20 but only had 13 this past week for quarantine and haven't had all 20 one day yet.

Ripping paper, playdoh, clothespins are all great for fine motor! Also if you place a cotton ball in the child’s palm (so they can grasp it) as they hold their pencil will help them with their pencil grasp :)

Are you teaching CRT???

Yay AC finally!!!!!!!

Wow! 15 is a dream; I have 25 firsties in Ohio and can up to 27. They are a super sweet group though 💗

Love this video so much 💗💗

I love your mask! I just subbed! I love your channel!

I would have started on the curriculum on the first day of school. I feel like it would be a waste of a school day otherwise.

Hello grade one!!! Only seven students?? I had between 24-37 students in the different schools I supply taught in. I had to provide enough activities and teach lessons as always. My classes were always FILLED WITH STUDENTS!!!! The other teachers ran away so I accepted the supply work. I adapted to large schools with large classes and PLENTY OF WORK TO DO!!!!! Thank you kindly for sharing your classroom. You are appreciated and I enjoyed grade one.

Where in the world did you get that dress? I love it!!!

One idea that I did to help with pencil grip one year was: have the children bring in one sock. Your cut out 2 holes; one for the thumb and one for the index finger. The rest of the fingers stay inside the sock. I was teaching 2nd graders at that time. Good luck! 👍😁🍎✏️🖍

Right or left hand Girl?)

You make me smile within a few SECONDS of the video! You are contagious and I love youuuuuuuuuuuu! Also yes, only having part of your class makes it soooo hard to practice those routines, but you will get there don't worry :) Also I'm going to be starting fine motor bins in my room next week, but maybe you could just incorporate some of those activities as early finishers?

August 23?!?!? What school district in MA starts that early? I teach in MA and we started on August 31.

math games ho,work worksheet fun

I love the excitement. How many parents will be showing the children of this class these vlogs

🤣🤣🤣❤️

Super cute and organized classroom, im a night shift school custodian, this is so organized compared to what ive seen at work lol

Thank you for sharing your classroom and gratz on the Ac

Very cool!

This video was in my recommended videos. First time seeing you. I love how enthusiastic you are! You actually remind me of actress Candice King. 😃

Wow when I was in school we couldn't wear spaghetti straps or where shorts an skirts above or knees I pray 4 change

Love love first grade. As a substitute teacher I just love that grade. Good luck to you.

So good. I like this video very much because it's very interesting. Thank you. You are very confident. Very interesting experience. Always beautiful and beautiful. I like toooo-/-“

I teach 6th (still elementary in my district) and had 4 kids gone on day 1. By day 3 my entire class had to quarantine. Mad rush to move online... My class returns this Friday, but my young daughters entire class just got quarantined yesterday... Not a pretty year so far. Your students are so lucky to have you, best of luck this year!

Yaaaaaaaaay!!!! You and your Littles FINALLY have AC!!!!!!!

I don’t know why this video come across my suggestions however I’m glad it did..
I’m a 29 year old male in the UK and had a horrible time at school leaving with zero qualifications and I’m now having to study as an adult…
The point I’m making is if every teacher was like you everyone would love school..

I really like ur videos and you inspire me to do well as an adult learner! Keep it up x

wow your kiddos are so lucky to have a dedicated teacher such as you!! I hope you have a fantastic rest of the school year!

Hola, que tal?, como van?, Los mejores y más cordiales Saludos desde puente piedra, lima, Perú, ojalá que puedas venir en algún momento a mi país y que disfrutes mucho de todo por aquí, con la familia y los amigos, felicidades por tus vídeos..

Love the vinyl sit spots. Do you mind telling me where they are from? 😍

Four. Hours. Straight. 😅 We’re only allowed to have three periods in a row before a break is required. Thank God.

Can you tell me what the 15 acts of kindness poster is all about? Thx!!

Do you have a video about reading centers?
