Annoying that my child’s teacher can’t keep me updated on what they’re learning until I check the grades and see failing work but the work never comes home? How is a parent supposed to help if they don’t know what they’re learning ?Now I’m searching for tools and ways to help

I am at a loss in helping my (very tactile) 1st grader these concepts. I could not for the life of me understand why we were using dashes and dots in her homework. She was just as confused because they went from counting tally marks (by 5s) to the dashes (base 10). She could not figure out why sometimes a dash was 1 and sometimes 10. On my way to order some blocks. Thank you thank you thank you!

I really enjoy your videos and they are helpful. I also use your stuff on TPT which my students enjoy. I was wondering what math curriculum do you use in your school?
@SusanJonesTeaching5 күн бұрын
Our school currently uses Math In Focus. It is honestly not my favorite and I find it to be VERY wordy... but there is a lot to pull from, so once you get used to it, you can find the parts of the lesson you want to pull and use!

Our school uses EnVisions which I don’t like. Hope they will adopt a better math curriculum next school year. Thank you again

I haven't really created too many social studies or science related unit - and the ones I did make are over a decade old at this point! We've been using "Karen Jones" on TPT for social studies (we like her Little Thinkers units) and in Science, my kids love Mystery Science and Generation Genius!

How do you handle the kids that are struggling and not understanding?
@SusanJonesTeaching5 күн бұрын
Frequent check ins during whole group instruction for sure - and when we are doing something like word building or dictation, I am closely monitoring them. Then, they get seen in small groups during the WIN block for math or reading, and also the literacy center time for students struggling with phonics!

Thank you for your insight! Your videos are always very thorough and explain a lot. I would like to know how you fit in read-aloud and grammar lessons. Is it a daily structure or designated days?
@SusanJonesTeaching5 күн бұрын
The read aloud and explicit vocabulary instruction is always during that reading block (1:45-2:30). Grammar is often taught as mini lessons in writing! I shared some of the writing warm ups I use that help with that!

I love your videos and this one. I'm impressed with your efficiency. I find any of the one things you do say for 10 minutes I could easily spend 30 minutes on with my students. For me keeping a quick pace is challenging as my students this year are lower and so there are frequent misconceptions I need to address. Do you have lower students that are lost and if so do you just worry about them during your intervention block? Thanks!
@SusanJonesTeaching5 күн бұрын
That's a great question - I certainly address misconceptions, but if I find it's going too long or I am starting to lose my students' attention, I will just repeat that lesson (or clarify the misconception) in the next day's lesson. That is only if MOST of my class isn't getting it though. If it is a couple students or a small group, I would just see them during the WIN block or make note to address that in their small group during literacy centers if that makes sense. That is another reason I really love my WIN time - it is super flexible and allows me to re-teach what is needed. So most of the time, yes, we are addressing that in small groups. However, if most of my class isn't getting a concept, I have no problem reteaching the lesson the following day.

Love the video! I wonder...is there a teacher shortage in your area? Would you recommend teaching in your state? As a Canadian elementary school teacher with the possibility of moving to the U.S., I am curious!

I live in Massachusetts and there is not currently a teacher shortage, unlike many parts of the country. There is a substitute teacher shortage, instructional assistance shortage, and (possibly?) a special education shortage, but not for general ed teachers!

Makes sense you’re going through this. We all know the lobbying that goes on between curriculum companies, funding and districts. 2X the work when you’re flip flopping. I’m sure no one got paid any extra$$ to change their lesson plans, change content delivery, and going to trainings!🙄
