I’m two years from retirement and that comment hurt. Not all of us are old furniture.

I am a kid and I am in 5th grade I am wanting to read something before going to the first day of school

thanks!

I highly recommend all Alan Gratz books, especially Prisoner B-3087 once they read it they want to read his whole series.

It’s ok

Only book I can remember reading in grade 5 was visits in other lands. This was about 1974. Might been grade 4

Hey Melanie, your advice is right on target and your comments at the end show what real teachers care about!!🎉❤

This is so helpful thanks

Thank you!

This works 💯!👏

ADHD is so hard!!

thanks madam it's insightful i love the tips you mentioned. I will try on Monday.

I am glad I came across your channel, its so helpful when you use the coined terms. Student here and already overwhelming!

Honestly, you lost me at the beginning of the video by associating classroom management with student behavior. How a teacher handles student behavior is called discipline and not classroom management. Classroom management is all about productivity. Show students what to do the moment they walk into the classroom, and rehearse what your expectations are until it becomes routine for the students.

Absolutely nailed it. 👏 It's obvious you get it. The popular kid thing is not really unfairly "pumping them up" like some mentioned. It's working the power dynamic in a nuanced and complex way. You're not saying to give artificial praise, but to win the allies you will need in the bigger picture. The popular kids will use their social capital one way or the other, or maybe not at all. Isn't it better to make sure they use that social capital in maintaining a positive environment and having allies in building a classroom culture. Yes.

How a 5th grade teacher thinks that Hunger Games is appropriate for this age? How?

thank you ma'am. looking for books for my little sister this year and youve been helpful

I want to thank you a lot. I haved loved reading books which my brother had but i wanna try something else but i didn't know where to start. This helped me a lot

You are totally right. I do that, too, and it is amazing when kids feel they are loved they change their behavior ❤

A good author is Polly shulman

4:30 The term you're looking for is "positive reinforcement". Students are much more willing to work towards praise or an award vs working because if they don't, they'll get in trouble~

I thinking I agree

This was 5 years ago when 5% are identified or about to be. This year I’ve got 17 out of 33 with IEP’s and 504’s and most are repeaters of 9th grade. Management nightmare where if I get can most of them to be asleep I can get a little teaching done.

I hate that the school system has conditioned the teachers to try to label small children who are in the social and emotional development stage in their life. Give them a diagnosis and drugs to make the teachers life easier 🤨 often the advanced bored kids get the crap end of the stick and it’s sad

I purchased Refugee for my 5th grader yesterday and he is really into it. The pace of the book is exactly as you described and he dove right into. My son mentioned this was the darkest book he has ever read. After reading a couple of chapters, I have to agree that the content is a little heavy for kids who are naieve and sheltered about these about these topics. Just wanted to give a heads up to parents considering this book.

It takes more than engaging lessons. Some kids have other things going on inside of them that prevent them from focussing.

This was great tip. Thank you so much. I wish you can share more such things without worrying about others opinions

What I learned in one week is basically for force them to write down. Tell them "Ok kids, open the notes and write...." while they write and struggle to keep up they become quiet. The trick is to keep doing this while teaching them for 45 minutes.....

Thank you!

i thought this had 1.2 million views cause it deserve it Thankssssssssss

Thank you for sharing this. I'm about to become a teacher in 8th grade science, for the first time teaching public school. Should be a blast!

I'm starting as a new teacher next week and am in full panic mode... I feel like I'm enough like them to get along with the goofy humor and memes, but also experienced in restaurant work to know when they're slacking off and need some re-direction...This is the first video I've seen by you and am definitely subscribing and watching more. I appreciate you taking your time to make this video (and others!) for total newbies like me. ^__^

This is one of my secrets when dealing with teen groups working in probation jails for years

I have used that strategy you mentioned with the popular kid and it has really helped. Actually, this popular kid used to be very rude to me and his peers, but with the strategy , he changed and now he follows all my instructions and really trusts me.

Teachers like this are the problem

I would recommend genus files

1. Novel but familiar attention grabber 2. Realistic instruction they can visualize in their head 3. Timer 4. They follow the directions!

Love all these recommendations!

Thank you 🥰

Okay so I don’t teach bc I’m in fifth grade lol but I love because of Winn-Dixie and it is another book by Kate DiCamillo and I absolutely love that book it is one of my favorites but if you don’t already have that you should totally get it!

Well-said!

Just came across your page-thanks for the sound advice 😊 since I recently started subbing in high school I know it will come in handy.

Thanks ❤

How am I going to do that. I bloody hate the popular kid. He's extremely annoying

your tips are great! I appreciate them!

Just kidding

Ur voice is angelic 😍
