Yeah, I’m feeling the struggle already and I haven’t even started yet

Do not start your sentences with the word Hey. It is unrofessional and lacks etiquette. Seems none of you younger crowds learned this basic fact, never took an office class or read Miss Etiquette, nor were you taught how to greet someone in letters , email and on videos in school. Ditto for starting your sentences with the word so. That is slang and wrong grammar.

Excellent video!

Do you by any chance have any resources on where substitute teachers can obtain free templates to fill out on how the day went? Thank you for your tips!

It’s 2024 and I’m teaching my OWN class now! I signed up and saved the files!

Thank you for sharing this. I will be teaching writing for the first time and your video was extremely helpful.

Amazing

What are those plastic containers you have for “Toothy” activities?

I am going to use this in the fall with my 3/4 grade students. THANK YOU!

I'm coming back to the classroom after a one year leave of absence and this is the biggest change I'm making coming back. It's SO MUCH WORK to reorganize, not to mention a big mental shift after 14 years in education, but I know it's the right thing for kids. Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts so candidly - I loved Molly's video but it was also so helpful to hear your thoughts on this. Thank you!

Your videos are really helping me to study for my RICA exam that's required in California

This is great for studying RICA

Thank you 🎉

Great information! Can you clarify if the students will alos need another notebook to write their stories or are they using the same one after they glue the materials. Fro example, they turn the page and start writing their story. Thanks!

This was great thanks. Most useful!

Do you buy composition notebooks for each of your students? Or do you have them use a coil notebook? What works best and what size is best? Thank you!

I have subbed for about 7 years in 2 states (Missouri & Florida). Here are some of the things I have learned. 1. STAY CALM no matter what. Kids see that you are IN CHARGE and the ADULT in the room as long as you are not getting angry. 2. Be prepared for the worst by bringing a SMALL megaphone and a whistle. If kids get a bit loud and you don't need to SCREAM at them. Just speak normally into the megaphone. Once you get their attention, I tell the kids "This megaphone is kinda obnoxious isn't it! So I will just use my regular voice now." If the kids get OUT OF CONTROL, then blow the whistle! The kids will quiet down! The megaphone I use sparingly... the whistle I use RARELY. Explain to the kids that "we are getting WAY TOO LOUD and might disturb the classes nearby! so please go to your seats and if you talk, do it quietly." 3.... If one or 2 particular students are constantly causing trouble, I will talk to them one on one. I explain to them that I will put THEIR NAME in my daily report to the teacher because you did X.. Y... and Z bad behavior. HOWEVER... if you straighten out starting NOW... then I will let you watch me SCRATCH YOUR NAME OFF of that report!!! Later in the day... the kid is acting OK... and I keep my promise. If a lot of kids are misbehaving.... I will walk around the room and personally THANK the well behaved students for doing their assignment and ask them to please write your name on this list of students who are doing the assignment and NOT causing trouble! The "troublesome" kids see what is going on... and they want THEIR name on that list also!!! So I tell them, "Start doing your assignment and stop the misbehavior and YOUR NAME will go on this "good student list" also! 4.... No matter what strategies you do.... always remember that some kids will act up and you sometimes will not be able to stop them UNLESS you push that emergency button on the wall. When the administrator arrives, I give them a list of 5 or 10 MISBEHAVIORS that the student truthfully did! I try very much to NEVER push that button because administration is very busy and shouldn't be called for the minor battles. UNFORTUNATELY I cannot use some of your suggestions such as "learning kids names" because I am 69 years old and have some problems with remembering people's names. Thanks for this video, I am going to use some of your suggestions to improve my skills.

Research has shown that children will be motivated to read a higher level if it's a subject they are interested in. Ex. I taught 2nd grade, and I had a little boy who loved airplanes. He would read 4th grade level books because he was interested in them.

How complicated would it be if I purchased your grade three resources and modified them for grade 2 Alberta curriculum? I love how you have it all laid out and I love the interactive notebook resource you have made but I teach Grade 2 next year.

Bonjour, where are the French leveled French books from? TIA

I am planning on using your home reading system next school year. In my school we also require nightly math fact practice, so I am curious if I you think I could edit this file to make a Math fact practice version that could be added to the duo tang for parents to do the math fact practice with their kids?

Great video !

Hi! How would you move from paragraph writing towards 3-5 paragraph essays?

Where did you find the fill in the missing number charts?

You have been a lifesaver. I would really appreciate one for Year 5.

Really well explained. Thanks for sharing.

Is the exemplar included in your ELA package? That's the only thing I'm worried about! Otherwise I'm ready to buy!

Does your resource come with plans for how to teach each outcome? Or is it just the cut outs and we create a lesson for it?

I want to watch the videos in order about the subject area in this video. Where do I begin? Thanks

Hello, Any chance you have grade 4 resources in French first language in Alberta? Thank you

but what did you do with your students on Friday? leaving me in suspense.

Could you please make a video on how to improve students' reading? I mean fluency level , accuracy and expression in reading.

I wish you sold the binder

Thank you so much

Thanks for encouragement and unpacking this so nicely. Where do I access the resource for printing. I’d like to print one for myself.

Love the hair!!

Thankyou.

Great explanation of teaching narrative writing.Love it! Thank you foe sharing.

In the title of the video you state grade 3-6. How would you extend this to grade 6? Would you still use a writing notebook and cut and paste graphics?

Thank you for sharing and helping teachers build their Math Center and Literacy Centers. (Kingdom blessing)

LOVE your creativity ❤

This is fantastic! Thank you!

Thank you for all you do

Thank you 🙏

Thank you 🙏

Thank you 🙏

I am unsure how to download your reading level tracking materials. Love and need this resource!

This is a great analogy to use with my kids and help them in the writing process.

Thank you for the video! I am a student teacher and this is very helpful :)

How many mistakes do they have to make in a section for you to decide that's the place to start?
