I love how real you were about the stress of balancing teaching, observations,family, and grad school work, especially if you are self critical!! I feel like I must be crazy taking courses and teaching full time! There is always always always something I should be doing and it makes me feel guilty if I drop the ball. I Iike to think that the fact that you care so much about constantly doing better makes you a great teacher, mother, student, wife, and person. You and your teaching inspire me every week to try to be better. ♥️
I love the OOTD sections nice transition from each day. Please don't stop them 😍

Emma Naranjo awww thanks hun! I’m glad you enjoy them.
The cutting of the paper was like an asmr moment lol
I love your vlogs in the classroom and at home. 7 or 8 minutes of the cutting and computer!?!? Ok. I'm sure you had a great lesson because you are connected to each students ability and preferred learning style.

I’ll blame Trent for that section 😂
You are an honest, smart, well planned, and passionate teacher. We are ALL so hard on ourselves, and that doesn't exclude YOU. You're probably doing so much better than you think. Breathe. You got this. 😊
Hi Bridget, don’tunderestimate your talent and worth as a teacher..I can be very self critical too, but I also have to remind myself to be my own cheerleader. It only goes to show how great you are because you work so hard to be the best you can be for your students. Don’t sell yourself short! It’s tricky to balance reflection and self-kindness, but if we are to really enjoy our awesome profession, it’s crucial. Otherwise, we’re not gonna thrive! From one self-critic to another, I gotcha girl. But don’t forget to remind yourself how amazing you are! P.S. Super cute. outfits :)
The chart looks like a great visual aid to help writers focus on a key area, remind them and instead of a display that takes ages you can update and change it easily. Great idea, makes me think about how I could adjust things in the classroom easily and quickly. Thank you
Thank you so much for your honesty. As another veteran teacher it’s refreshing in a weird way to hear that someone else whose been in this field awhile and does ALOT of extra amazing work (ie you Ms Bridget) also feels sometimes that they aren’t hitting their goals and not doing enough. I feel like that at least once a week
Never, ever sell yourself short! Do not give yourself any 2's! I did that too, until a truly developing teacher who had poor classroom management, and was a hot mess gave herself 3's and received them from the principal, and I got 2's because I sold myself short!!!! I will never do that again - please don't! I know you are not a 2!!
Hi Bridget! I have been watching you for a long time. I am on Christmas Break right now and I am catching up on all the vlogs I have missed since October! At the end of this video, I heard you say how you were stressing out and not being the best teacher you could be. You are a wonderful teacher, you do so much for your students and I love watching you week after week. I do however understand what you are saying. I think this year has been the most stressful year yet for me. I began the school year so excited to be part of a new opportunity at my school and now in December I feel as if I have been slacking as a teacher. In September I entered a classroom similar to yours, I live in Canada and we call them POD classes, not MAC classes. I was teaching in a room with grade 4, 5 and 6 students. It has been rough. You are so lucky you have a team that supports you and works together. It is December and beginning in January, I will be leaving the pod to teach grade 4 on my own. Being in the pod, I felt limited to what I could do, what I wanted to do or even limited to the amount of fun I could have with my class. I wasn't able to collaborate with like-minded teachers, which ultimately lead to me leaving the pod. I feel defeated. It is so difficult to break teachers away from the old. It is hard to implement new fun innovative learning! How do you guys co-plan, co-teach and co-learn!? What does planning look like with you? I felt as if it was always a battle of who was right and wrong. Maybe it was a personality thing, and that's why it didn't work? I'm curious about your team dynamic. Do you see eye to eye? How do you manage your differences in teaching ideas and styles? Id love to talk and get your insight on this. Anyway, I just wanted to say you are an awesome teacher and its always a pleasure watching and learning from you.
i love your outfit of the day because it gives me ideas when it come to when i have to student teach and eventually get my job
You are amazing . I wish I accomplished half of what you do! Stop beating yourself up. We all feel that way during an observation.
I love your vlogs, LOVE your style, and I love your dedication and passion for teaching! I can see the stress in your face at the end. I’m going through that right now with school and home life. October is always a stressful month.
So I just binge watched most of your videos on this channel today. We teach different subjects but it was like planning with a friend the whole time! I hope your week is awesome. I like the OoTD because I get into a slump sometimes too and it’s nice to see what others wear as inspiration. Keep doing what your doing!

Amazing paper circle cutter. Where can I get it? cause in Argentina we do not have something like this. I have to trace and cut by hand the circles. Love your vids. Can u Link the cutter please. Hugs from Argentina.
Your mom is what nationality? Are you going to teach them Spanish? I love spinach artichoke dip!!! 😍😍😍😍 I need to create a vegan version
How do u cope with the anxiety of being observed? Cause i m very nervous..
There are some fun things out there that are related to John Henry. There is a Spongebob SquarePants episode which is a spoof of the story. You could also look up the comic book character Steel from DC Comics. He uses a large hammer. Take care.
Hi Bridget Love your vlog. Am a teacher mom of three little kids. Do you really teacher your biological kids? If yes how do you manage your family and school work and kids? Please any advise on how to start work on writing in kindergarten and grade one?
Please don't stop outfit of the day!
Where did you get that navy cardigan?!? I've been looking for one!! It looks sooo good with your outfit!

You're awesome..
OOTD is the thing they are not teaching me in college right now that I needed to learn! It helps so much for finding ways to dress for practicum and next semester as a student teacher that are professional yet comfortable.
First, you should reflect and no, we're not perfect, but you, my dear, are not a 2 ( needs imorovement) type of teacher. Sorry I am not having it. You should not be stressing about that Brigette. Enjoy the weekend. I think the grad work is stretching you thin and then when you add youtube on top......its too much!! Rest up and cut something out...sad to say it should probably be youtube.
You really don’t look goofy
Love your channel! I have to admit, the OOTD is my least favorite part, I will skip episodes if that’s the title. I feel like we see your outfits through regular filming, but a lot of people seem to like the OOTD, maybe I’m just not a fashionista! Thanks for your videos!

Genevieve Heath thank you soooo much for your positive feedback. I felt like you expressed your thoughts in a respectful way and I really appreciate it. I’m definitely not a fashionista as well. I’m more of a lazy dresser 😅

Hi Bridget! I was wondering if you Conference with your students now, like you did with your Kinders? Do you keep data folders that the students use in tracking their learning? Is this part of the mass customized learning? Thank you for everything! You don’t have to answer my questions if there’s a website or other video you can point me in the direction of, I would super appreciate it! Hope you are having a great week!
Those are casual pants, not dress pants.
I would love to see you actually teach a lesson. I am sure your lesson went better than you think. I can certainly understand observation anxiety.
What grade is this?
