I hope you enjoy this long week in my teacher life vlog! I discuss A LOT of things in this vlog – centers, fine motor bins, classroom organization, classroom …
Hope you love the vlog! 🥰 Leave me a comment and let me know what is most helpful to see! What would you like more detail on next week?
Hey Mayleen!! I am in LOVE your fine motor bins!!! I personally have a preschooler, so your channel is helping me a lot with afterschool home activities. She’s not attending school due to COVID so I don’t want her falling behind. Any suggestions for resources for her for alphabet and numbers for a 4year old? Also I had a question in regards to sharing material in your school. I teach 5th and our district/campus is restricting our students to share ANY type of materials so typical center or partner work activities are out the window. How is your school handling it and any suggestions for alternative methods to allow for school still to be engaging? I use a lot of tech with my 5th graders and prepping hands on would mean prepping 26 individual activities and that would take forever
🌞Always loving your videos🍃
Happy 4 year anniversary both of you are so cute John don’t be shy Besitos Besitos 🥰🥰
Love your Pearls🌻
The other day I was laminating and wishing I had two machine. Seeing you with two definitely made me feel more sane about that lol
Is there a classroom tour that I missed? I keep looking back to previous videos, but I don’t see any!
Where did you get the worksheet you have for the cvc wood block spinners? I have those and was looking for a resource to use with them!
How do you assign the fine motor bins each day? Do the kids choose what bin they want or do you assign?
I teach Pre-K where we start every day with fine motor! One of the favorites last week was a giant piece of styrofoam (packaging from a mirror I recently bought) with toothpicks and pony beads–stick the picks in the foam and make a pattern with pony beads on on the pick. Hammering (crab mallets) and golf tees in a pumpkin.
Q-tip dot painting.
Tuesday was my favorite book as a child. The Frogs expressions. 🐸
I love couples doing couple things. It's so cute. Marriage is a blessing these days. Get married folks and enjoy another person for the rest of your life
I really need to do that when making anchor charts.
Hi!
I'm from Australia, and I know our adherence to "standards" (not what we call them here, hence the quote marks) is a little different from yours in America. It is very much emphasised that the kids should be met where they're at, rather than focusing on what grade they're in, age-wise. If we have composite (combo) classes, we teach them together and differentiate based on the needs of the kids, rather than their chronological school grade.
So after that long-winded diatribe, I'm wondering what you do for kids who are performing markedly outside of the "expected" level for their grade? For example, do you have any Kinders who already know all of their letters and can read some sight words, etc? Do you have 1st graders who are reading beyond sight words? When you do the read-aloud crafts, what if a Kinder would be capable of the 1st grade activity or vice-versa? I'd be interested to know how you tackle these things.
Thanks, I really enjoy your content 🙂
You are already doing so much fine motor throughout your exciting days. For your bins, you could add spinning tops, wind up toys, popping bubble wrap, tearing paper strips, flicking marbles, rolling tiny crepe paper balls, joining paper clips, turning double sided counters, stacking maths ones blocks, making shapes/pictures with macaroni, rice or toothpicks, picking up tiny pompoms with tweezers (may be easier), peeling tiny stickers, pegging pegs onto number cards or a line, weaving, unlocking padlocks, twisting nuts and bolts, eyedroppers, doing up and undoing small buttons on clothes
I just have to say that you and your husband are the cutest!!! "They taste like grapes"!!! Oh, and it's okay to buy your own flowers!!! Have a great week!
I love John! You two are the cutest.
This week looked SO fun!! I def want to use the apple activities and the Koala book!!
What apps do you use for centers?
Is the twist and write ws in your word work bundle?
We did apple stamping this week as well. This week we are going to finger paint apples with our thumbs. We are studying trees and that tree project looks like it would be fun. Have a great week
Hi Mayleen! I’m so excited for you and your students to use the giant push pins! Another fine motor activity could be pouring! Fill two cups with rice, beans, or colored water and let them pour! (Water is also a good color mixing activity!)
Absolutely love the long vlogs! It gives me something to watch and listen to while annotating peer-reviewed articles! (Currently in college as a psyc. major) ♥

We love moon drop grapes. Just bought some more. We call them goofy grapes. I agree more fun to eat.
You are an amazing educator and I just admire how you are navigating a combo class. I would be so happy if I was a parent in your classroom. I’m constantly telling the elementary teachers in my organization about your videos. Keep up the good work Mayleen, truly love following your journey and having a little part of me in your classroom 🥰❤️🍎
