 Hello everybody and welcome back to my channel. I hope everybody's having a wonderful summer and I'm excited to catch back up with all of you before summer school starts. Ahhhh! We're talking about summer school items. I just wanted to give a quick update because I had a couple comments wishing me good luck on the interviews and hopefully getting the jobs. And a couple people asked about if I got the 4th grade position and unfortunately I didn't. If you follow me on Instagram you would have seen shortly after I got the call. Hi there! I am currently in Melbourne, Australia and I wanted to share with you guys the news from the other interview. Unfortunately I did not get the 4th grade job or 5th grade job. I was not offered a position for 4th or 5th grade coming from that interview and it was kind of unfortunate because I was in the plane to go to LA because we were heading to Australia and we had a layover and I didn't get time to ask why I didn't get the position so I'm definitely going to take some time to email and ask about tips or kind of why I didn't get the things. So yeah that's a little update there. I was in Australia for 13 days and it was crazy amazing. So many fun things that we did going to the Opera House, scuba diving the Great Barrier Reef, like so many crazy things and I just can't wait to bring those like fun things and adventures and stuff into my classroom. I also got a couple of books. I always love to get books as souvenirs and just things that like my students can read, my future children can read and things like that and so I got a couple of younger ones and then I got not older but a little bit older. So I got this little touch and feel little kangaroo one. I thought it was really cute and then it has a bunch of different animals. So if I go back to daycare at some point I could bring something like this in or just for my future kids and then we went to Penguin Parade plus it's my favorite animal plus in first grade they talk a lot about penguins. So I thought it would just be fun to get a couple of these books because I never know what grade I'll end up in. So I got Penguin's Parade, Little Penguins and then this one is called Philip the Penguin and these are little blue penguins and we actually got to see a colony of little blue penguins walk up on the beach and go into their nests and it was really really cool to see the wild penguins out there. So that was down in Melbourne on a island called Phillip Island actually. So these are really cool and I'm so excited. And then this was probably one of my favorites, it's called Welcome to Country and it's kind of a good one to talk about like loving the earth and everything like that. And it got an environmental award, environment award for children's literature. So I thought it'd be a really fun one that I could read for Earth Day and it's just talking about the aboriginal people. It's written by a woman who was from one of the aboriginal, from one of the women who was from one of the aboriginal groups and yeah and so some of them like it just has some of the language and stuff so I thought that was really really cool. Something that I can just bring to my classroom and share with my students or they can just read on their own or whatever so I'm really really excited. I love getting books and yeah I'm really excited about that. So let's move on to the summer school. So I hope you don't mind, I'm just gonna be looking through this stuff first look right now. I haven't even looked through it yet. The only thing I did was take out this big binder you can see it's really full and I'm just kind of flipping through and some of the things I see are Literacy Planning Guide and then it talks about Readers Workshop, Writers Workshop. It's still the same school district that I did the long-term sub in and Readers Workshop and Writers Workshop are really big things for them so this is just some plans looks like I'll have a lot of reading to do to kind of get into this stuff but I have a pretty good idea since I already kind of did this so it's not gonna be like oh my gosh coming into this like totally new and then we have some text features which I guess might be really helpful, some articles to read, writing about reading in a reader's notebook and on fiction texts. We're also going to be teaching math and I'm teaching fifth grade by the way I don't think I mentioned that although I think I mentioned it in previous ones or previous videos but yeah I'm doing fifth grade it is for sure actually side note the daycare I was going to work at that I've worked out like the past three summers I think didn't ask me to come back well they did they said I could come back and then like three days before I was supposed to come back they said they didn't need me so now I don't have a job until summer school starts in a few weeks but I have training tomorrow and I was able to pick up my bin today so just a little recap on kind of where I'm at with that so and then they also do a math workshop model going back to the thing here they have a math workshop model number corner opening mini lesson workshop sharing so and then I guess they have some week one examples day four day five so that will be kind of helpful in terms of knowing what to teach so and I'm just quick flipping through here hope you guys don't mind me kind of doing this first look and then science there's a science human mind is Minnesota biome so that'll be really fun let's see oh there might be a field trip so that's kind of exciting so just teaching all about the Minnesota forest and leaves and cones and that's so exciting I'm really excited okay so that is the binder I'll have some reading that I need to do but I guess they're gonna go over in the training this was like picking this bin up I'll show you the bin here picking this bin up was an optional thing to do today so I got it a little bit early and I can kind of look through things but they'll also go through it in the training tomorrow so let's see I got some dice and I'm just like picking things up out of here let's see you got some packets a couple of different books temperate forest prairie prairie you can see that one so a couple of different books here let's see here's a few things that just say some math things with fractions multiplication so it looks like a couple of different games we're getting down to the bottom so a lot of this so it looks like a lot of these though are just kind of materials and sheets that I can use for summer school by the way I've never taught summer school and I don't really know what to expect this is kind of helping me get an idea but I've never done this before so here at the bottom I'm seeing some little info cards yeah just a bunch of different things so I'm really really excited I'll let you guys know more after the training tomorrow the time is getting really long so I'm gonna let you guys go I hope you enjoyed my little update hopefully I'll have some more interviews this summer I haven't had any since my fourth and fifth grade interview so keeping my fingers crossed I'm applying all over within like a 45 minute range which is kind of far but it is what it is so yeah I'm really really excited for summer school to start and that will be in a few weeks but training is tomorrow and I can't wait so wish me luck guys I'm so excited and I will catch you next time
