This video was genuinely groundbreaking for me! Many many thanks.

These writing instruction strategies are soooo insightful and extremely helpful. I will definitely use it for myself and adopt it to my teaching practice. THANK YOU!

Love this!

My Dad hits me

Thank you for this! I started work late because of maternity leave, and I hate how the sub did my student's binders! 🤦🏾‍♀️ it's too much, and students are losing their papers or not turning stuff into where I have to dig for it in their binders! I don't have the time, not patience for that anymore!

do you have pdfs pf your lists?

Can you give the links of where you got your graphic organizers from.

This is very helpful! I too love your philosophy on grading! Looking forward to helping students become more confident writers!

I’m completing my third year as a middle school ELA teacher. I’ve just heard about writer’s notebooks this year, and I want to utilize them next year. I’m open to any and all guidance. Blessings!

Do you have hybrid this year? How many students do you have in class? How many are online at home? Our school has grown a lot this past year, so we have 40 kids in a classroom. I wish I could have a classroom library like yours. Your room is gorgeous! So fun to see other classrooms!

Hello, Love! I’m a brand new subscriber! Watched your Part 3 of the “Dear White Teacher” and I loved it! Could we collaborate on something? I’m a second year teacher looking for a “Teacher Crew” group of friends!

As a teacher, I can only imagine how tough this past year and a half has been. Children love their teachers, even when they don’t show it. Truthfully, teachers, professors, guides- when you hold the card of being a mentor, a light, an answer, an option, another voice- you hold more power than you know. Your heart is in the right place. But you absolutely have failed students, without even realizing. Your experiences as a White woman, clearly from a well to do background, are not automatically equivalent to any other white person’s life experience. And you naively assert that your experiences aren’t the same as families whose skin color differs from your own. As if it isn’t possible or rare. How dare you. You spoke about growing up and only having a handful of other people that didn’t look like you around. Yikes. That sounds like an incredibly sheltered upbringing. Your parents were able to pay for the school they sent you to? Wow- what a treat. You don’t speak for White people, you don’t speak for non-white people- you speak for yourself. And if you feel bad or guilty about what you have, by all means do the work to get past it, but don’t for one second act like YOU are a guiding light that everyone should follow. You actually make me sad. Because I’m sure you’re an amazing teacher and person. But you’ve allowed a trend to make you hate/doubt yourself, and it’s going to show up in your work with children, and you’re going to make some children really confused or really doubtful about their own abilities and lives. Do yourself a favor, stop. Take a breath. Ask yourself who you’ve really hurt. What are you really trying to prove or accomplish? If your heart is in it for kids- you’re going down the wrong road, I promise you that. Good luck

So motivational. Your words boosted my confidence. Love it!

where can I find this parent teacher conference tip page?

Thanks! It's helpful!

Hello!! When are you going to have the updated video? This is my first year teaching virtually and am desperately looking for videos of middle school teachers who have been successful with virtual teaching!

I love this look...can you please share the link?

i'm gonna have diarrhea and it hurts please help

Love the information provided in this video! I will be teaching only the Reading portion of 7th grade ELA this year as well. Just curious - Do you assign any regular homework?

I love this and am looking to do something similar. Have you posted your tutorial on how to do it? Thank you

Have you made your new reading and writing in one hour video? We are switching to 1 period next yesr

Your room is fantastic! I have some good ideas now of how to better organise my library!

I love your set up. I teach 8th Grade ELA and I'm always looking for new ideas for my classroom.

Your BCI teacher meets with small groups. Do you, as the classroom teacher, meet with groups as well or do you always monitor and coach?

I want to thank you for sharing your writing information, It was extremely helpful. I was wondering where did you get your mentored samples that you had the students mark up in different colors at?

Your classroom is so real! I can totally see real learning happening. It's perfectly imperfect. I know that middle school happens there. I teach middle school writing and I use ALL of your things. You're AMAZING!

Where did you get your giant wall anchor charts that look like notebook pages (i.e. Plot Elements)? I love them!!!

Hi there - Love your videos and creative ideas. I want to purchase the TPT items and have a question. When I print the documents to make copies at school, are the sizes preformatted to the Composition book sizes or are they full 8.5 x 11? Would I shrink on copier or are they already two per page?

Thank you for your tips and testimony about setting up interactive notebooks!

Hi! Thanks for this video. When students are numbering pages, does that include front and back pages? Or do they only number the front pages? Thanks

Where is the rubric on TPT that you have referred to in this video? Also the interactive mini lesson pages that are pictured in the video. Thanks

When ou print the grading rubric on the post-it, you then don't have a pad of post-its with it printed on, you have sheets of paper? Doesn't the posit not stick any more? Thanks!

Great ideias. As an ESL teacher I found them very handy. Thanks for sharing.

thanks for the suggestions! can you make a list of the topics you talked about? and a link to your teachers pay teachers?

what is the design of the letters you do not have the mold

Homeschool Mom (former high school teacher) of 4th & 6th grade reluctant writers. Can you suggest the best bundle in TPT to get going in the format you outline here?

Thanking you won`t be enough for everything you are doing, I wish I could meet you to express all my joy and happiness finding your channel and your brilliant ideas. Is it too much if I asked for some live broadcasting of your lessons? Especially since I am a Syrian teacher, working in Qatar, and trying to make a difference with my ESL students.

do you have a link to the Task Cards you mentioned?

I have your Bingo word but what about your ELA banner it is awesome

Hi! I'm a first year 8th grade teacher and at my school I will be teaching 8th grade ELA, Algebra 1, Science, and Social studies. I am most nervous about teaching ELA as there is not a strict rubric and curriculum to teach from. Any tips? Where do you find your lessons and what to teach for ELA? I want to do interactive notebooks for Reading and Writing
