 Hey everyone, welcome back to apples and tiara's if you are new here My name is Charlotte and I am a fourth-grade science and social studies teacher in Arizona So today's vlog is just kind of like a day in the life log So this week we are still learning about water today is kind of our last day to prepare for our water festival Which is tomorrow, so I'm gonna kind of show you guys what we're doing today so today the kids are making water sheds and They are doing that with paper And we're just talking about what a watershed is What's part of the watershed and who is a watershed manager? So I'm gonna flip you guys around and show you the model that we made in my last class, right? So here is the model of the watershed So essentially what they do is crumble up a piece of paper Tape it to the bottom and then they label all the high points the low points They make farms they put cities and they label mines and then we spray them with water and see where the water Runs where it sheds and where it collects. So kind of cool. Super fun and Yeah, so this is the bulk of the lesson today We're gonna just I asked some questions along the way and Observations and things like that. So that's part of our lesson today, but Yeah, super fun. So the science standard for this is I Can formulate an evidence-based argument about water and its availability and its impact on life And so part of that is the watershed where it comes from where it goes where it collects How we use it how we collect it and how we treat it and how we make it better for us to drink To use and its quality and how to improve it. So we do have our water festival coming tomorrow It's usually like a super fun Field day kind of thing, but unfortunately this year it is virtual so Merp for that, but it will be tomorrow during third period and They're also providing us with pizza. So that's kind of exciting If you guys didn't know I do teach Departmentalized so I am the science and social studies teacher for the entire grade level, which I absolutely love Here's my classroom if you guys are new and you haven't seen it yet The kids are out at lunch right now And so in Arizona, we are currently Essentially Mask-free except for in schools So we are still wearing our masks at school and we are still practicing social distancing at school But they have reduced the distance from six feet to three feet So we are able to put our students in little pods right now, which is great and at this point like Honestly the desks in the middle I mean they provide them with the three feet that they need But it is nice to be able to have the kids kind of sitting together and collaborating it does make for a very interesting puzzle and Maze that we have to walk through but that's okay because we are more than glad to walk through there as long as we get to work Together the kids love sitting next to each other and being able to work together Tina is here. Where are you teeny? Oh, she's sleepy baby Hi, sweetie Also, I'm super excited because my School is opening a preschool and pre-k program So cash is gonna be coming to school here next school year and I'm so excited To have him here at school with me. It's kind of just like The thing you look forward to the most when you become a teacher It's like someday when you have children, you know that they're gonna be with you Especially if you work like in the elementary level like I just knew someday when I had kids like they would come to school with me And they'd be you know with me after school and before school and just gives me an excuse to hang out with them more So he's gonna be starting preschool here next school year And so he'll be here with me every day. Oh gosh, I'm so excited And so that is what I was just doing during my prep was filling out his registration form I also have to fill out my PD path form, which is where Every year we have a certain amount of professional development hours that we need to complete And we have to do them in a selected area So my selected area was project-based learning or science or STEM. So related to my subject and so I Do have quite a few professional development Certifications that I'm currently working through and I do have to fill out a form that explains How I use the professional development to improve and impact Teaching and improve my make an impact on my students. So I'm currently working on that. It's not due until May 7th and I do have a Meeting where I talked to my instructional assistant about all the hours and how it impacted me and what my plan is and all that stuff So I'm currently working on that. I just have it on my little to-do list Tomorrow though During our water festival that's during third period. My first period class has earned a class reward So tomorrow we're gonna do a technology day where the kids get to bring their phones their tablets I'm gonna be bringing in my PlayStation so that we can all race each other on Crash Bandicoot So I told them if you have a ps4 Remote control bring it in and then we can do like eight player. It'd be super fun Outfit of the day trying to like put everything into one little section here out of the day I have this super cute Jumper on is it a jumper or are we calling these? Rompers still I'll show you Okay, so here's the romper it is super flowy these are made with like polyester or something It's super stretchy. This is from old Navy.

What'd you pick her? Okay, let's go like I've shown you guys Trader Joe's hauls before but I'm gonna show you my favorite items my go-to's The ones I get every week that helped me with my bright line eating So first of all, I love soda water or any type of sparkling water So I got a pack of the lemon spin drifts for this week Okay, so a couple of things first of all when you try to avoid flour and sugar and then everything else that you eat is supposed to be weighed So you eat an ounce of this? Whoops So one of the things that I love in a staple in my diet are these cauliflower thins So these are from Trader Joe's they're great for a bread substitute So I like to make little pizzas with these sandwiches You can put tuna on them pretty much anything that you would put bread under or on You could use these and then another thing I like to substitute for bread like for a wrap Because I really enjoy wraps are these folio cheese wraps They're great because they do have protein in them So you can count this as part of your protein and then I also like to put Like salami in there with like mustard cucumber and lettuce and then it's a delicious little wrap And I oftentimes eat that with my plantain chips as like a crunchy Crunchy yummy crunchy and then for breakfast for your first meal of the day you're allowed to have potato Or corn so I thought I would give these a try I thought it would be good I could use this and then have a wrap and it's kind of like a Lunch for breakfast kind of thing and then I love everything but the bagel salmon The only thing that's wrong with this is it is farm-raised and not wild-caught, but that's fine because it tastes so good And then I love the Argentina red shrimp. This stuff is so good. It's really delicious for shrimp tacos I love this salsa specifically. I like to dip my plantain chips in it So I just measure out a bit of salsa and then I dip in there and then this is so delicious this carne asada We like to make carne asada tacos out of that so delicious. I have never tried this though I'm very interested. I think I might try some tonight with a plantain chip because I love anything I can dip and this counts as a protein and a fat so I can have that Okay, if you like salmon with capers on a bagel this stuff is Delicious.
