    This was a nice vlog. My time in grade school was miserable for various reasons, and even at the ripe old age of 19 I still haven't made peace with the past. Your class looks vibrant and joyful as a child's environment should be. Having watched your vlog, I feel melancholy. I'm reminded that I could've been happy in a school that was as pleasant as yours looks, but wasn't. My regret is that I'll never be able to reminisce about my childhood like others seem to do. It saddens me further to think that some of these kids are either experiencing the same depression I've experienced, or lack the perspective to appreciate their blessings. But again, nice video! And bless you for being a teacher

    Thanks for sharing about your grade school journey. I'm so sorry it wasn't a pleasant experience for you. We have to take the good with the bad and look for the silver lining. Thanks for all the kind words about the classroom. I didn't think I had the best physical classroom the past couple of years being in a portable so I tried very hard to still make it colorful and really focused on creating a classroom community where children feel safe and welcomed. I feel for you and I truly hope you can find peace sooner rather than later. Please take care and keep in touch!

    And thank you for checking out my video! That's so awesome that you're taking courses to move into teaching. And about challenges? Wow, where do I start? From the pay, testing pressure, to lack of resources for your classroom and lack of support from people who are suppose to be advocating for the children and so on and so forth. For me, it's knowing your purpose (love of children and teaching), being flexible, and having a positive attitude. Attitude trumps talent some times. Hope that helps a bit!

    Hey Jenny, thanks for the questions. From what I know, Early Childhood Ed is Kinder thru 3rd grade so yes you can be an elementary teacher with that. I knew teacher friends who had the early child ed degree who preferred to teach nothing above 3rd grade because they prefer the little ones better. My undergrad degree was in Special Ed which from the university I got it from, when you get you your Special Ed, you are also Elementary Ed certified which was definitely a bonus. I hope that helps you a little.

    Thank you. I think good classroom management starts with building trust and relationship with your students. Find out what they like, ask about what books they're interested in, what sports or music they are into, ask about their family and siblings. You can do some sort of an Interest Survey to gather this data at the beginning of the school year. Students can tell when you are genuinely interested in helping them :)

    Good question. Younger children tend to have their hands everywhere, they wave their hands, and touch other kids. So a good rule that many teachers use when lining up the class is that students must put their hands behind their back (or pockets) It helps them not accidentally hit objects or other students on the way to lunch, library, cafeteria, etc. Hope I answered your question!
