It’s the end of the year! Let’s celebrate! OH, my and what a year it has been!

At the end of the year, I always send a special gift with my kiddo to his teacher. This year, I am calling the year a BOMB. Let’s have some fun and thank our hard working teachers.

Grab this FREEbie printable. I printed on cardstock and will use the white space to staple on a chap stick. Any brand works.

After I printed this, I thought about how fun it would be to send these home to parents. In my state, California parents supported children at home for almost the whole year. What a great way to say thank you to parents! Have fun!

Children’s day is coming up on Tuesday, June 1st. I will be celebrating by giving my students a special certificate. I will created printables for six online teaching companies and share both the printable and digital versions.

What is Children’s Day

Children’s day is a held on June 1st in Primary school which may include celebrations, performances, gifts, and treats. My students in the past have had pizza parties with their classmates. I had fun teaching my student how to say, “pepperoni.”

This is a holiday celebrated and established by the Chinese Government. All our students will be familiar and will LOVE if you recognize them. This year in 2021, this is held on Tuesday, June 1st. I will celebrate with students a few days before and a few days after.

I am gearing up for a summer of teaching with my ESL company VIPKID. I am setting up my schedule and making sure to guarantee that my BIG changes in my plans are a success.

I will change my usually early mornings PST time (think 4am) for evenings all through the summer.

I will also take all the weekends off to be with family, travel, and have fun with my summer loving kiddos. I am setting up my schedule for Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday evening classes. NOTE: I am in PST time. This means evenings my time 5:30pm until 10pm. I will open all these slots and my kids will eat dinner without me a few nights this week. I find the first slots of the evening book best for summer kids because they get the VIPKID class done early before other things come up in the day.

Here are my best tips to make this a success.

Communicate

I will message my parents my new schedule in WEchat. I enjoy being connected with them and this is a great way to tell them of schedule changes. I will send a graphic image with the new schedule and dates as well as type this in a private message to them in WEchat so they can translate this.

Timing

I am changing to this schedule after two weeks off for family travel. I didn’t accept any priority bookings and will make this change the week of June 28 and continue my schedule of evenings only the end of August.

Here is a schedule of the dates and times of some BIG cities summer holiday. In general the last week of June to Aug 31 is a good guide. This is my plan for teaching evenings.

Certifications

I am ready with supplemental classes from my online ESL company. In the summer, kids often switch to summer supplementals and give our MC (master classes a break.)

Profile

I have some tips for your profile in this guide. It is full of summer tips for your profile picture, extra pictures, and video filming. If you haven’t updated in a while, these are GOLDEN. Grab the guide here.

I’ve been teaching a lot about the pond in my online classes. I’ve been counting ducks, reading words as we jump across the rocks, and more. I think a pond reward has lots of possibilities for extension. This reward is built with fish, frogs, and ducks. The fish are all different colors to allow the student to choose. I even tossed in a mommy duck and babies.

Assembly:

Print this reward, laminate, cut the pieces and add velcro or magnets on the back. Check out my blog post about my favorite tools for this here.

Use in Class:

I use this reward with the background placed on a baking sheet pan or clipboard. I hold close to the camera and add the pieces. This would be a great reward for online teaching. Enjoy!

Isn’t the spring time the best? I love the weather in spring and our students love seeing flowers, grass, and these lovely peacocks.

I use these in my online classroom and l love these laminated. I like this set with velcro. I place the peacock on the background in class. This one is a winner.
