Projects and videos

7:45 AM 0 Comments
Hey, y'all!

We have been super busy at home getting projects done and learning to create videos.

First, I am super excited about this back drop that my husband is building.  I will get an updated picture once I create the backdrop and get it perfect.


I can easily create props and rewards to stick on there with magnets now.

Also, I have been working on creating an edited video to use as my introduction on VIPKID.  My first video was very quickly and terribly done.  So, I took some time to learn how to edit a video.  I am using this one for now even though I know there are a lot of flaws in it and I need to create another one to make it perfect.  You can check out the intro video here.

Also, I am going to shamelessly plug my husband's YouTube channel.  If you or someone you know is really into knives and wants to check out some knife reviews, you can watch them here.  Do me a favor and give him a thumbs up while you're at it.

I am in the process of also creating my teacher planner for the coming up school year.  Once I have it made, I'll post some pictures and maybe even a video of it to show you what I've done.

Here is my video that VIPKID sent of my latest teaching.  It only shows two classes, but you can get a sense of some of the things we have to do.  I noticed that I need to up my energy level and play factor, and also widen my vocabulary instead of just saying, "Good job!"

First Blog Post!

I am so stinking excited to start blogging about my teaching experiences both in a second grade classroom and teaching for VIPKID! Can you believe another school year is in the books?  I am so ready to kick back and relax....NOT! I am keeping my 3 year old home and am already planning for my first year in second grade.  I have previously taught 4th, 5th, 7th, and 8th grades so this is a HUGE jump for me and I couldn't be happier.  I can't wait to share the things that I find for both second grade and VIPKID.  Stay tuned!
