What is this circus?

I LOVE, the 'I'm still cool' part! ❤

Awesome! I use this EVERY DAY from age 3 to high school, and it works like a charm to get kids to reconnect with you, or focus when there's something really important coming up... like the end of lesson wrap up. Thank you! :)

Pardon my ignorance, I’m genuinely curious, what is the purpose of the attention getter?

Stepping up in front of these students to intro something new to yourself and to the class, knowing you may make a mistake, reflects a great administrator! Yes! You are all very cool!! Ten Finger Rolling Wooo to you and these students!

✝️🥰

Inclusive education ...very well done

Amazing job! I always come back to this video for inspiration! Just wondering how long to spend on each component of this process. Are there lesson plans that I could purchase or can you provide a scope and sequence?

i love miss rhods third grade class

Many populations of students would not take this seriously, unfortunately.

The squat thing is horrible. Let's see the teachers squat while being given instructions or while waiting for others to comply . ALL FOR WBT, but the squat is just not kind. What about wet days, hot days/pavement? Admin needs to rethink. 🙄

I am going to try this. Looks like a winner!

That is amazing. Shila how did you get to this point? How to the kids know what to say? is this a review?

Thanks Coach Biffle for posting these. I love coming to the class, but if I can't I don't want to miss what you are teaching. Live is best... but truly thankful for this video.

wbt

I would like the lesson plan!!!!

The yelling though... 😖

I was so sad I forgot to reset my Saturday alarm!! I really wanted to be there but am so happy it was recorded.

I'm so excited to play this with my class as soon as we are back to school! I have it built into my PowerPoint for the day!

WOW!!!!!! YOU ARE A ROCK STAR. THIS IS AMAZING. THANK YOU.

I love the imagining part of the lesson... but you only asked them what they tink, you didn't teach the truth to them. You kept saying "is the water...?" rather than saying something to actually teach them the water's behaviour in different settings (tub, river, ocean) - it would be more helpful to see the actual teaching part of the lesson - because with just waving their arms around and imagining their own version of what happens doesn't really teach them about the science does it? I also found that the noise factor was far too high for many neurodivergent kiddos... which will prevent them from learning. Or prevent a neurodivergent teacher from teaching effectively. Please tell me there was far more to this lesson than what was shown... I will say that I stopped and noted the idea of doing the paperwork while encouraging them to help their neighbour (thus teaching and retaining more) was super!

WOW! This was awesome Suzanne! Thank you for sharing! I loved seeing all the locked up games in your room!! Your students are so lucky to be in your class!!

I'm curious about the scoreboard as a necklace. It is just a lanyard? I can't tell.

Where did you get the starriest frame and magnetic stars? 😇

Your room looks awesome!

Is there anywhere I can get the 'improve to unlock' strips?

I am a little confused. Do the starriest replace the Scoreboard? Hope not. If not, will it be too much and confusing for little kids to do both at the same time right away?

Sorry I missed the training. Thanks for recording it!

Where are the slides?

Just wondering why the students never get enough time to finish their explanation to each other?

What the name of this strategy 😮❤?

I was sorry to miss this training. Any chance of it being uploaded again? I think something went wrong around the 8:42 mark.

Awe man. I wish it wasn’t frozen halfway through :( will you be doing this training again soon?

Thank you! I had no idea where to start. This is exactly what I needed. Also, thank you for reassuring me that its okay to not get it right immediately. I was pretty nervous, but I think I can totally do this now. :)

Just fyi - if you can’t find the rings of power…I use one of my row/stitch counters that I use when I crochet and knit!

I would love a copy please! Thanks!

So glad I could catch this video this morning. Thank you.

I think this video will be very helpful for the students "in need" but don't feel like they have a safe/comfortable communication to express their worries/feelings. I have used other videos to monitor students' reactions to expression emotions and this video has moved to the top. It is a quick and cute on-the-spot assessment.

Hi! I’m a kindergarten teacher in Philadelphia! Just wondering how long you spend in each area of “talk” after it’s introduced. Does this span the whole year? Also, is there a whole brain writing curriculum that can be purchased?

I think they have already been taughed before the class

Love hearing Andre in the classroom- he’s a rock star!!

Does WBT have to be superfast teaching like this? Can the lesson be just as effective if it was slowed down a bit?

Lol

Can someone type out the chant? I love this, looks like so much fun!

This is so painful. I could never keep up this level of fake energy for this long. Imaging doing this all day, every day, for the rest of your life.

I can almost guarantee you that classroom isn't like that constantly. That was a show for the camera. I'm sure he uses things like that every day, and I'm sure they work, but no one gets that level of enthusiasm and participation from everyone all the time. I also see a lot of learned responses. Words and actions that are done in response to his words and actions. It's good to have one or two to get attention, but for the amount happening here, there's no learning, they more resemble trained animals responding to a routine.
