I will see if I can get an OT in to teach us all the “right way.”

I’m glad it’s been helpful. If you have any questions please let me know. 💕

Thanks!

I’m glad it was helpful.

Thanks!!

Great insight. Some kids can deal with chaos but most of us benefit from calm, structure and routine. It equates to security.

Love it!!💕

After awhile they do know the order. It’s harder to line up without the visual marks but they can do it. Or they can just line up. But that requires practice too.

I’m glad. 🙂

I’m glad it was helpful.

I'm glad you like it. Happy reading 😊

I’m so happy to help. 😀

You are very kind. 😊

I’m glad it is helpful.

I will do a video for math stations 😀

I’m glad you are enjoying these teacher resources.

Yes. They are actually Velcro already which makes them super fast to move.

It’s a great way to keep the glitter contained.

I’m glad it was helpful.

I’m glad you can use them in your class.

I’m glad you liked it.

Yes. The information is in the description of this video. Look for “teacher binder”. Thanks for asking.

If you want to laminate it you could laminate it before you fold it into a book.

Thanks for your encouragement. I will try to make more videos soon.

Thanks for letting me know. Hopefully I will have one soon.

Thanks for letting me know it was helpful.

lol!! I’m glad it was helpful. 😀

Perfect. It’s in the works. 😊

Kids definitely do “just fight” sometimes. I agree. This is my opinion- First step is always letting parents know. Then if you see a pattern and/or the fight gets uncommonly violent then definitely parents and counselors and other help should help support the child. I think sometimes people overreact and then that sets the kid up for getting negative attention and then a label as a “troubled “ kid.

I’m glad it was helpful. 😊

Good question. I don't sell it on TpT. Although, there are a few games from EFS in my TpT store. The link here in the description sends you to the page that explains more about The Early Finisher Solution and provides a few different buttons to go to the purchase page. I have just fixed that link. It was broken so thanks for your question because it lead me to fixing the link. Anyway, the way its set up you put in your email then it brings you to the purchase page. There are two ways to purchase, Credit Card and Google Pay. I will try to add others at another time. Thanks for your question.

Thanks for letting me know. I will see about making it a pdf that you can download and reference.

I’m glad you like them. I hope to be making some new videos soon.

Thanks for letting me know. I am working on a video that I hope will be available soon.

I’m glad you like the videos.

Thanks. I’m glad it was helpful.

How old are the children?

I'm not the poster who asked this question, but, I have a student that throws board game pieces, he is a 2nd grader

The struggle is real. When I had kids throwing things my first instinct is to remove them from the game. It's not a bad temporary solution. But eventually you have to deal with the behavior. Are they a difficult student? Do they do other naughty things? Do you think they are trying to get attention? Do you think the task is too hard so they are frustrated and don't want to show that they are struggling? Maybe too easy but actually kids don't usually throw stuff when they are "bored" in my experience anyway. My guess is they have other issues you deal with with them. They might be a kid that gets one chance at a game and then if something flies into the air they have an alternative assignment that is not "fun". All of this you have set up before hand and talked with them extensively about. They do X you do Y. And then you do it. No emotion. It was the deal. Then let them know the next day they will get another chance. "Hey, we all make mistakes but we don't keep making them. It will be a big bummer for you to keep throwing stuff and I like you so much that I really want you to learn using a game that's fun instead of a worksheet that is really no fun at all and that you have to do all by yourself. I sure hope you pick the fun way tomorrow. But if not that's okay I've got a lot of worksheets and a lot of patience and I know you will make a good decision because I know how much you like to have fun." Something along those lines. If they are wanting attention try set a hard boundary, like above conversation, with little as possible attention given with them individually and provide a lot of praise when they are doing it right. If they just can't regulate then maybe a game with pieces is not for them. or they play for 5 minutes and then move on to something else. And the next day challenge them with 6 minutes. (give them the timer- You have better things to do than to sit and watch them for 6 minutes. Put them on an honor system if possible.)

Yes. They go on the floor. It works only if you have carpet. The “dots” don’t need a second side They stick to carpet without a second side. They are pretty handy a very useful for many things in the classroom.

You move the pie pieces every week?

@@kristenbjornson5512yep. Every week. 😊

You will do great. Be patient and teach expectations more explicitly than you think. And of course praise and reward. You got this.

@@TeachersMakingTheBasicsFun thanks 🙏♥️

I’m glad they gave you some ideas. 😊

You’re very welcome. Thanks for commenting. 😊

I’m glad they are helpful. I appreciate all your comments. 😀

Thanks for the correction. I had no idea. 😀💕

@@LuzhouTeach yes, the word perfectly describes my former boyfriend. 😂

LOL!!

I have a few on my KZbin shorts. I will do some more but you can make them up yourself or better yet make it up with your class.

Ok. It will be coming out soon. 😀

Thanks. It will be coming out soon.

I didn’t teach pre-k but it might work. Give it a try.

Wow. That’s a very high compliment. I bet you could make a video of tons of stuff that I would learn from. Teachers need teachers. ❤❤

You are very welcome. Glad you enjoyed it.
