Heres a tip: FIFTH GRADERS WILL DO ANYTHING I MEAN ANYTHING for EXTRA recess

[@kayy.patriciaa]

THIS IS THE MOST TRUE THING EVER😭

[@justanonbionarywalkingdown4295]

So will 4th graders.

[@mintchip295]

Actually I have no friends cause I’m socially awkward 😅 so extra recess is just more time suffering out side for me 😂

[@likha9183]

Fr I did that

[@Aaron-gj3uo]

Lacee S so true

[@midnightstudios6910]

That school is sooo different from anything I’ve ever seen! It’s so cool😂

[@dandelicious7222]

Right I wanna know we’re it is

[@oliviarose8731]

I know I don’t is heck a bathroom in my class or a outdoor classroom like what?

[@dandelicious7222]

Liva Rose huh 🤔 you make no sense

[@krimochi7071]

Same!

[@caylavega2442]

It’s a private school

[@londond.2415]

I recommend doing a class “store” my fifth grade teachers did it, anytime a kid or kids do something king or really good on school work they get a “dollar” (a piece of green paper) then they get to “buy” something every Friday. PS there are different color for different amounts 1=green 5=orange 10=yellow 20=purple. Another PS you could do suckers,pencils etc as 5, larger candy, etc, little toy, trinkets from target dollar section or dollar tree

[@xxwillow.treexx474]

Same except my teacher did checks

[@louisboxill4379]

My teacher did that too but 4 weeks into the 1st term she quit

[@Hattie.P]

Louis Boxill o welp guess she didn’t wanna be a teacher anymore lol

[@v3ronicaa.24]

My first and fourth grade teacher did something similar to this

[@shaanhuda624]

My school used the exact same concept in 4th grade, and it is a pretty cool idea Especially for a kid

[@TheChroniclesofTeacherTay]

I love that outdoor space outside of your room! And those bin lables are so cute omg 😍

[@emmainelementary2827]

Omg THANKS!!! It’s a good little atmosphere around the portables! We are hopefully getting a bunch of picnic tables to put in the grass soon ☺️

[@kyriebalasch]

I agree

[@YOURFAVSHREKK]

Same:)

[@alinarajpoot1615]

A tip for fifth grade is some of them get nervous putting there hand up for help so you could give each child a red green and amber card that they can put on the end of there desks so if there fine with the work green, a little stuck (amber) and really stuck (red). Also I know they like personal things so we got like a mental health ball that squeezes and it’s really soft with a personal name on it and it is good for kids with autism or just when the kids are stressed or in a test. If they play with it you can just take it off them but make your own rules up for them. I hope this helped!

[@claire-tz3pg]

That’s so sweet

[@angynotangie6335]

Omg that’s actually good what u first said when I become a teacher ( I’m 12) I’ll do that :D

[@hollyhill7988]

‘This room is actually kinda tiny’ At my school, our rooms are half that size but have like 16 double desks in each one!😂

[@sportsgames2713]

It is pretty tiny. Maybe it's just because of the camera

[@lillyrose4600]

Its a room for fifth graders thats why stop thinking u alk dat smh

[@jennicaernst7795]

Sameeee we have like the same classroom size and we have like 32 desks

[@lillianmaee]

Yeah my old class room was literally a square

[@pinkstonheather]

It is so interesting to see how different schools are setting up during this unprecedented time. I haven’t seen one video that is actually taking the CDC guidelines into account. Meanwhile I am gearing up to teach remotely and NOTHING is normal. Even if we get back on campus there will be NO manipulatives, NO small groups....nothing NORMAL.

[@yoginichloe]

this is the new normal

[@sxmslemon3269]

Yeah true

[@tonyaldorsey]

This is insane...we are virtual for the time being...this must be a small town somewhere

[@itszakiaa5243]

True

[@jss2573]

But this space in time makes us realize how grateful we should be for the normal

[@lesleycarmichael6422]

So exciting to hear a first year teacher with all your excitement. I still get excited too! One piece of advice I would give is make sure where ever you are teaching, make sure you can see the entire room. Don't back yourself in a corner. Make sure you can "see" the room. Good luck!

[@brianaamos4336]

[@clownfishy4935]

I recommend that when they are good, and it is reading time, you tell them that they can sit in the corner. ( Fill it with bean bags, pillows, rugs, etc. ) They’ll LOVE it.

[@EmmaDraper-sm2ge]

Hi! I’m also Emma lol. I’m a fifth grader and ik this was 4y ago but I still have some things/tips about fifth graders. First is Fifth graders will do ANYTHING for extra recess and sometimes my teacher does things like finish extra work or having the whole class have a great morning for extra recess time but of course you have to make it a bit advanced because we are all 10/11y olds. Another tip is points. Last year my teacher did all kinds of different points systems. Group points are the best systems which you basically give a few points to groups who are working together well or are all on task. We started with class points but trust me, and I really mean it, trust me, class points are a class meeting danger zone so don’t do them. Which that brings me to class meetings. Fifth graders are growing up and experiencing puberty, real feelings, and insecurities. Class meetings are a great way to let your kids talk about bullies, incidents, feelings, classroom problems, etc. you get the point. My next tip is lunch time. For some kids lunch is a stressful situation. Growing up in a small school I didn’t have this problem, until fourth grade. Fourth grade was super stressful and it was very hard to sit in the loud noises and food throwing (stuff like that.) A great opportunity is a once a week classroom lunch where you can pick a few kids to come in and eat. You can use like coupons are tickets. Which brings me to my next point. Coupons. My fourth grade teacher had coupons for winning table groups every Friday. They can just hand them in when they use them and you can put them up on a board or something. My last tip is about desk setup. The best way to arrange desks during the first quarter is randomized so you can figure out what groups work best by changing it up around 2-4 times in the first quarter. After the first quarter it will be easier to arrange desks in a way where almost all students are comfortable. That’s all I have right now and please like this so she can see because this took me almost an hour to write 😅. What can I say, I’m in writing club. But thank you if you made it this far.

[@faneditingpicsofyoutubers2572]

She seems like a really nice and fun teacher, I wish she taught me in fifth grade.

[@iwillrulethetv]

This is one of the things that I can’t wait for when I finish college and get my first classroom- setting it up. I’ve had so many ideas about classrooms, ever since I was a student in elementary my own self. I’ve even come up with a theme I love and hope to be able to do it at my future school, because it fits me so well! Happy classroom and I hope you have a good year!

[@willowtalley8870]

Heyyy

[@willowtalley8870]

What’s your theme?

[@iwillrulethetv]

Willow Talley Happy Campers/Forest, I love the idea of having a fake campfire where we can all sit around and talk about our weekends or what to expect from the week. Having a little tent for indoor play or even for a student to win as a prize to read in the tent

[@willowtalley8870]

I LOVE THAT IDEA!!!

[@babiieruth]

Are kids really going back to school in other states? In California it’s a no.

[@pandabears7530]

I am wondering about that also.

[@LifeWithJayTea]

In Illinois at least Chicago and cook county we goin back but it’s hybrid so like group a (a-k) r going 2 days a week they would go Monday and Wednesday while group b is on remote learning on zoom or google meets on the smart board and group b (l-z) would go Tuesday and Thursday while group a is on remote learning on zoom or google meets on the smart board and Friday is all remote learning /deep cleaning days

do you guys not have a smart board bc at my school every classroom has one and we get new ones every year.

[@emmainelementary2827]

Nope we don't use smart boards!

Why would you need new ones every year? 😂

[@gachabugz]

As a 5th grader myself, make sure you get extra pads in a storage space in the bathroom cuz most girls, like me will be 11 and are going to be getting their first periods. I’ve already had mine 3 months ago, so be prepared!!!(also get ready for helping the first perioders!!)

Wow. Thank you for this video. It is helpful for first year and not new teachers set up. God bless you for your help. I like that you have a bathroom and drinking fountains in your room. Also the outdoor space is awesome. I would put blinds on the windows so students don't get distracted when I am teaching. I would open them in the morning when they eat breakfast so that they can have a nice start to the day with the morning sunshine. I would also open them during different times in the day when I am not teaching to add natural sunlight to the room.
