 Good morning you guys welcome back to the vlog So I wanted to quickly jump in and share with you guys this really really cool coffee that I've been drinking So it's called Javi and it's actually a coffee concentrate, which If you asked me about coffee concentrate a few weeks ago I would have said I don't know it kind of worried me like I wasn't sure it was gonna do everything that regular coffee does But let me tell you about this little bottle of joy. This is a Javi coffee concentrate There is a hundred milligrams of caffeine in one teaspoon of this There are 30 servings in this bottle and you can get three of these bottles for like 16.95 I've been paying 5.95 for almost five bucks every week for one of those big Starbucks gallon jugs and It lasts me a few days But this 30 servings in one bottle you get three bottles for 16.95 So the taste of this is really good It tastes just like regular Starbucks coffee. You just put two teaspoons of the Javi coffee concentrate into whatever Coffee liquid that you're using. I just use water and ice. I just put my two teaspoons in mix it in add my cream and it's like Starbucks it's delicious. So I've been trying this for the last few days as you guys can see And I'm really loving it Scott actually tried it a couple days ago And he said that it tasted really good that the flavor was really nice. It didn't feel like burnt or Like too powerful But what I love about this is it is sugar-free gluten-free and it is vegan So as you guys know, if you've been with me for a little while, I do bright lane eating most of the time I've been a little bit naughty I'm eating Ezekiel toast right now So good. But anyway, I love it because non-gml sugar-free Gluten-free so it's totally in line with my bright line eating and It's really affordable. Like I said, I've been buying I Think I buy two of those big Leader jugs of the Starbucks coffee from like the grocery store every week and that's 10 bucks Which isn't that expensive when you think about buying coffee because I don't like hot coffee. I like it cold and iced And I don't like making hot coffee and then putting it on ice because it's just watered down But for 16 bucks and you get 30 servings and three that's 90 servings. So 10 bucks a week or 16 bucks for the whole month. I think it's a pretty good idea So anyway, I am really loving it The taste is spot-on. You don't need a coffee machine. All you need is ice water Or a hot water if that's your gym So check it out. I'm gonna put the link to the Javi coffee down in the description below and Yeah, hopefully if you guys try it you enjoy it. I enjoy it and Let's get back to the video Guys, I think she's mad at me Are you mad? You made it me teens because I left her here this weekend with peach. I Think she's upset. Are you mad at me? No, you're gonna forgive me, huh? You're gonna forgive me Gosh, I love this rat Oh, it's a teeny bud All right, you guys so I'm here at school and I need to put some stuff away. I bought myself a microwave Cuz you know walking 10 steps to Mandy's room across the hall just is too much work So I did get myself. Oh, are you happy? She's grinding her teeth So I did get myself a microwave. So I need to put that up. I need to unload all this other stuff I brought back like some of the rat beds and the rags that we used to clean their cages and then lunch and stuff I need to put creamer in my Javi coffee and then I went to the printing room and made all my copies for The week may I add for the week? So I am gonna get those set up in my little Drawers so I do have quite a bit of work to do this table. I don't even want to look at it for now We're just gonna not look at it. Okay. All right, teeny go ahead Peach is still hiding in there. She probably won't come out But for now, I'm just gonna get myself set up and situated in at seven o'clock So I have 40 minutes until bus duty. So I think I can get at least everything prepped for the day Like everything's ready. I just have to pull up all my like slides and stuff. So I'm gonna do that real fast and then that way I'm ready for today and I can just focus on doing things in Here that need to be done like setting up my microwave and you know doing all that so let's do this Luckily today, I'm doing a near pod lesson So I don't have any paper flow today at all and I'm really jazzed about that I found a really cool mapping skills near pod and Kahoot and so that's gonna be really fun for the kids to do today and then throughout the rest of the week We're gonna be doing some mapping skills stuff Hopefully the kids have a pretty good understanding of mapping skills But they always come to me forgetting everything. So I'm just gonna keep moving forward with mapping skills And hopefully it'll be enjoyable. Well, I went to Home Depot yesterday and bought myself a couple of these plant stands Because I have this Monstera plant. I don't even think this is your true Monstera plant probably not But I've been using this chopstick to hold it up because it's one of those plants that's like Wants to lean with it and rock with it. You know what I mean? So now cool little Stand that holds it up in place and I don't have to use this Goofy lightsaber anymore. I mean, I'll probably leave it in there because that's really cool, but Now the plant stands upright Who's making a mess over here? I hear I hear little noises Now you peach She is so funny Okay, where's teeny-ot? Teen! Better not be trying to eat my eggs lady She's in my lunchbox. There's nothing in it. She's just in there Mixed in my cream with my Javi coffee. It's delicious all that's left to do guys is put my Microwave away, so I think I'm gonna put my microwave either up here on top of my fridge and just move Darth Vader somewhere else but I also have an abundance of this like Supplies that I need to find a spot for so I don't know maybe I'll put the microwave over here Because I do have an empty plug, but I will have to move this somewhere. So I don't know How I'm gonna do that yet Yeah, I think I'll probably put it over there Honestly think I could put it on top of my I think I might put it on top of my fridge I just need to make sure that I actually have a plug to put it plug it in with Which I think I do if I just move the rats over a tinge because there is a plug like right there. I Don't know I think I should put it there. I think I'm gonna. Hey you guys So it is now my prep period and I'm feeling really good about today So I got a ton of stuff done over the weekend. I think I may have already said this, but I Ended up working like two hours on Sunday at home just on prepping things for this week and I got everything prepped for the entire week in those two hours and One of the hours was while cash was napping the other one was in the morning He loves watching cartoons while he eats his breakfast And so they distracted him long enough for me to actually get some work done And since my husband's home on the weekends if I need to work in the office I can just say here take him to the gym or here take him and do this and it's really helpful So even though I don't like working from home. I might have to do a couple of hours here and there Just so that when I'm here, I don't feel so stressed. So anyway I actually have the time to sit down and do some club stuff So a few of you in the comments asked about glee club what It's like what the club is actually gonna do so I created the glee club to be sort of like a school show choir and So it will kind of be like any other regular school choir Or I guess music class where we will practice Three or four songs and then every quarter will have a performance And then we're also gonna be performing at pep assemblies because our school is K through eighth grade So I have fifth through eighth grade students in my club right now We're working on a high school a high school musical medley. So we're doing three songs from high school musical or doing Start of something new we're gonna do We're all in this together and then I think we might do bop to the top So it's just supposed to be a fun way to get kids who are interested in singing or performing a way to explore that craft in that hobby, so Should be really fun. But anyway, I am chartering the club so that I can collect funds and So I just have to fill out this packet And this packet and then submit it to my student council. So that's what I'm actually working on right now as we speak I just have my forms with my students names on them. I'm just gonna fill them out and we'll see how it goes Good morning, my friends. Happy Tuesday. I am here with temple Tina. She's just playing on my desk Good morning. Love Peach is hiding in the cage per usual But I just wanted to check in with you guys because a lot of you who watched my last video we're so so so sweet and kind and I From all of the comments that you guys left me. I just feel so Not alone and I feel so understood and I just want to thank you guys for all of the amazing amazing Kind words that you left me on my last video if you guys did not watch that basically, I was really struggling last week To get caught up with work to get things done because I was bringing cash to school with me in the mornings and If you're a parent like me who is also an educator, then you definitely understand the struggle I I Feel so much better this week Not only just from a getting it off of my chest how I was feeling but be my husband is Such an amazing support And so I'm just so grateful for not only him For stepping up and helping me out. He's bringing cash to school three days a week Mondays Tuesdays and Fridays Mondays and Tuesdays are the days that I have bus duty And so I have to basically give up like 30 minutes of my morning To do bus duty and now that cash doesn't come to school with me on Mondays and Tuesday mornings I have the ability to come to school really really early and get a lot done in those two days So I'm here at 6 30. I was here at 6 30 yesterday. I'm here at 6 30 today I'm champing some stuff out and you guys I'm feeling great I have all of this week completely done planned printed everything and I am starting on next week. So Let's talk about next week. I'm gonna just like plan with you guys and Hopefully this is helpful. So if you're new here, I teach fourth-grade science and social studies And so this week in social studies, the kids are working on mapping skills Now I've had a lot of requests in the comments to link certain activities like my marshmallow madness And a couple of other ones, but I just can't find where I got those The marshmallow madness. I don't think I got that on teachers pay teachers I think that came from Pinterest So I will do my best to try to find it But if I can't find the link to it, unfortunately, I'm not gonna be able to link that I will do my best I will be linking all of that kind of stuff in my link tree website Which you can find down in the description below if you Keep scrolling it'll say like my links website or something. I'll actually pull it up on my Chromebook and see what it's actually called Because I do want to share stuff like that with you guys At least where I found it, but unfortunately if there's no link down there It just means that I couldn't find it like the marshmallow madness thing. I really could not find that link. I tried But I just don't know where I got it from it may have been like a resource I got from a friend. I think I may have found it on Pinterest. I'm not really sure. Oh, here's my last video Okay, so in the description at the bottom if you go to Wix site most product links That's where I'm gonna be linking things if I can find them That way they never go away because in my description I might link one thing in the description of one video and then it goes away for the next one Like the big supply Clip art that is linked in my Wix website so that it's always there. So anyway maps and globes this week We're working on using latitude and longitude lines to Find locations That's what we're gonna be doing today They're gonna be practicing. They'll put in a notebook page and then they'll actually practice the skill So I have a notebook page for them to glue in and then I have an activity for them to do They're also gonna be making their own maps using near pod if you guys have not heard about near pod I absolutely love near pod I actually paid for my subscription this year because I wanted to be able to use all the lessons in there I wanted to be able to have more storage. So Two things that I really wanted to pay for this year one was near pod. I think it was like a hundred bucks for the whole year maybe even less and Then generation genius is another resource that I 100% will pay for so Yeah, so that's what I'm planning on doing next week. Oh, we're gonna start out with a generation genius lesson So I'm actually gonna use this lesson to kind of like springboard The whole unit of earth science. So I started last week with earth's spheres So just getting the kids thinking about what the spheres are what's included in the spheres And now I'm gonna move into earth science so that by the end of the year they can explain how the spheres interact and how those processes Shape the earth. So We're starting with weathering and erosion Templatina get your booty off my chromebook girl. You are clicking buttons. This rat is such a brat You are such a brat. So anyway generation genius if you guys have not heard of it It is an amazing resource that I highly recommend you pay for Whether you split it with your grade level team, I did not say that Or whatever basically it has a correlation to every state standards So like the one that I pulled up this one is connected to next gen Science standard, but it's also aligned to Arizona. So I can look for next gen or Arizona It comes with Stations almost all of the lessons come with a station activity. So like this one has three stations I try to do five stations every time I'm doing a station activity I usually do one at their seat whether it's via epic or if it's on boom cards or deck toys If you don't know what those are look them up Or some sort of like near pot activity that they can do at their seat Or I'll add a STEM activity to go with it But anyway, I love this because not only does it come with stations, but it comes they they're in five e Format, so if you don't know what five er they are Engage explore explain Elaborate and evaluate I had to look because I have them up here But it is just a really nice format for teaching science and they're all Organized in the 5e format. So there's an engage activity This one comes with a seething wonder So I will probably make this into a near pod presentation just so that I can have it all organized then they explore with Their Stations and then there's an explain activity discussion and then There's a 12-minute video that goes along with it There's a DIY activity that they can do at home or you could do them in class and then there's an evaluate section So they always come with a cahoot quiz game They come with an exit ticket. They come with all of the discussion questions on Google Forms So you have the ability to collect data And then I like to just use the vocabulary words that come with the lesson to help With all of that piece. So Generation Genius is one of my all-time favorite resources They did sponsor me last year Not this year, but amazing amazing resource so again That's what I'm planning for for next week. So I have weathering and erosion It's gonna be I think it might end up being a two-week unit. We'll see how it goes depending on what how they're understanding because Erosion and weathering is a huge fourth grade standard and skill and so I really don't want to rush it She's in my lunchbox you're gonna fall You're gonna fall off the microwave. You be careful. She's in my lunchbox again But this time there's like dishes in there. So anyway, I'm gonna get to printing a couple more things They there's also reading material in here. Like this is an amazing Resource, okay, so I'm gonna download and print this reading material Which is great because if you need background information for yourself as the teacher, it's amazing I'm gonna download the teacher guide which usually has the Um vocabulary words and definitions in there Let's print that print And then like I said, I can just build my entire lesson upon this so good morning guys So it is Thursday morning cash is here cash say hi You play with teeny Gentle with teeny oh Don't drop her So we're here at 7 24 We're just gonna hang out for about five minutes and then we'll head down and take cash to school but today is one of my Late arrival days because I'm bringing cash to school You got teeny okay, let's say goodbye to her Excuse me, baby teeny will get to come out in a little bit when the kids get here so See what are we doing today? Oh the kids are going to work on and hopefully today finish Their maps that they are making so today. I'll be going around and checking everybody's maps This one is my map So this is like that general popular create a country like create a map assignment and I just have a Google slide up when the kids are in here that explains what things need to be on their map. So again title Compass legend scale color is one of the criteria that I added as well Because as we talked about On maps that don't have color. You can't determine the difference between water and land No, don't put that in there. Why do you guys see what I mean? Like she's not able to just sit and chill So that's okay two days a week Bring him to school and it's just a late day Don't put it in there, please take it out. Why because it doesn't belong in the microwave It's food that needs to stay cold Then put it in the fridge making it cold. That's not the fridge. That's the microwave No, we're not gonna put anything in the microwave Microwave makes things hot Nothing in that fridge needs to be made hot anyways So, oh, that's chocolate you can have that this afternoon if you're if you make good choices at school today I can save it for you. You want me to save it for you? No, did you poop your pants or fart No, I'm not giving this to you before school because it will make you have Make poor choices, but if you make good choices at school, I'll give it to you after I'll save it for you Here put this back in my fridge Thank you so much Okay, three minutes Um No, I don't want that. Thank you though. So anyways Um, we're just getting things ready. I just uploaded my um Good morning. We are teachers. We are going to be on rainy day due to the mud balls in the back. So we will be on rainy day Um, so anyway What was I saying I forget I forgot Put it all back in the fridge, please That is cream cheese Yep, that's cream cheese um Like I was saying today, they're gonna go ahead and finish Um making their maps and then tomorrow we'll do some more activities that involve using maps to answer questions Are you ready to go downstairs? I don't know. Will you put some of these things in my fridge for me? Will you put all these in my fridge? You're such a big helper Will you put all that in the fridge?
