I would love to hear more about your reading genre 20 minute block.

[@debrafreeland5067]

When you referred to your lesson plan, I noticed the format of it. Did you develop that or is it from your curriculum?

[@michelelanning9765]

I’d like to know too!

[@kristyguest8443]

I would really love to learn more about your genre studies. Did your district create the lesson plans? I feel like I have to create everything, as we don't have a reading curriculum. Do you have any suggestions? I teach 2nd grade.Thank you!!

[@liighozz801]

Aku sebagai tenaga pendidik di sebuah yayasan sangat mendukung konten terbarumu, terkadang sistem pendidikan baru juga sangat membingungkan bagi guru dan aku juga harus banyak belajar melalui you tube dan akhirnya aku menemukan inspirasi darimu, terimakasih banyak salam dari indonesia senang bisa mengikutimu terimakasih ❤

[@RobinCandy]

Love your resources! I am joining all three clubs. :) Question- your binder of lesson plans- do you share that somewhere, too? Thanks!

[@jenniferlambert3886]

I came into the comments section to either find an answer to that question or ask it myself!

[@malgorzatachmiel6555]

Hey! Thank you for your video:) How do you create your flashcards? Another question: do you have any recommendations as far as the songs in the classroom are concerned? Thank you:)

[@kelierumberger5013]

My students struggle to stay focused when we do calendar . Do you have any tips while doing calendar ?

[@SusanJonesTeaching]

I really keep it quick! I will do a video on this!

[@mariiaculp]

Susan, You are Amazing! I always feel a burst of inspiration after your videos and thank you for that!

[@mayurikanakhara8078]

Hey could you please share some ideas on how to teach long vowels....hv seen ur previous video on the same but would love if u could make a few more videos on it

[@jennifergarrido1378]

I wish all the teachers were phenomenal like you

[@michelepfeifle570]

I would love to hear more about your reading block. How much time are you spending in small-group versus whole-group? We have about an hour for our reading block.

[@SusanJonesTeaching]

Great question! I will definitely dive deeper into this in another video. Each day we have 10 minutes for phonemic awareness, 30 minutes for phonics, 20 minutes for genre study (read aloud, vocabulary, etc.) and 30 minutes for small group literacy. We also have the WIN block which is 40 minutes long and I am using a lot of that in small groups for literacy as well.

[@frankyj.indalecio4369]

Would you mind sharing how you strategized to administer aimsweb math to your whole class in a single day while also completing your literacy (M-Class) assessments?

[@SusanJonesTeaching]

Ahhh - yes, well I didn't organize anything lol - our school has an amazing team and the math and literacy curriculum specialists actually planned it all! They made a team with some of the reading and math teachers/interventionists in our school and scheduled 2 classes a day. They were able to split up and spend an entire day in each room, doing both the AIMSweb and Mclass assessments with students. I also administered some of the tests along with them. So throughout the day, we had about 5 teachers in the room and we just called them up 1-by-1 and administered the tests! I made slides for students to follow throughout the day in 30 minute increments to keep them doing independent tasks so we could continue to test. It actually went really well!

[@carac.8831]

Do you see your sound wall cards?

[@carac.8831]

Do you sell your sound wall?

[@iluvfirst]

The matte spray is life changing! It really works great. I highly recommend 😊

[@SusanJonesTeaching]

I've only heard good things!! I have to try!

[@assia59]

Hi, how many letters do you introduce per week?

[@SusanJonesTeaching]

We are currently just reviewing sounds from kindergarten so we go through about 10-12 per week right now!

[@KPP-ej7jm]

I love your slides! They are wonderful. Do you have these available for purchase? It would be great to have a jumping off point instead of creating them from scratch. Thank you for considering.

[@denisesmith2898]

Thank you where can I get the other set of cards you printed . Also the tool bags for math? Thank you

[@SusanJonesTeaching]

The sound cards? I can see if I can make them a freebie and send them out to my email list!

[@denisesmith2898]

@@SusanJonesTeaching thank you

[@ChristineTanguay]

Hi Susan, I love watching your videos and using your resources. They are super teacher-friendly and of course, great for the kiddos. I downloaded the free Fundations-based "sound wall" cards, which is perfect for us as we use Fundations as well at my school. I was wondering if you had copies of the r-controlled sound cards as the sign was included, just not the cards. Thanks again!

[@rachellaurie5700]

Is there one book that had all phonics patterns? I feel like I am finding it all piecemeal.

[@Mplatz2023]

Happy Anniversary! I love your videos and, as always, get so many ideas! I have a few questions. Do you make daily slides for all the parts of your day? I know several teachers who use a complete set of slides for their entire day. I've used a Google Doc grid for years, but am trying out this routine to see how I like it. Just curious how you make/use your plans through the week: paper, Google Docs, slides? Also, we struggle every year with having so many 1-1 assessments and we are looking for something students can do besides sitting at a computer for 45 minutes that doesn't require a lot of teacher support. We have 4 assessments that are required and all are 1-1. It has been a concern for years now because of the amount of time it requires and we still haven't found an answer. Thanks for sharing what you do at your school!

[@ambersisepi1196]

Hi Susan on one of your earlier classroom walk throughs when you setting your classroom up I spotted a wall display that I have been trying to see again in your room or find. It's the one that is basically setting your kids up for a great year and I think it was a picture of a sun wearing glasses. Can you show it to me again and let me know where you got it from. Thanx Jill

[@georgiegibbs9595]

I'd love to see your typical daily schedule. I'm having such a hard time keeping mine consistent!

[@barbaradegroot7625]

I used IMSE slides last year but that’s a paid yearly subscription for us.

[@DanaDeVeaux-j3r]

You have some awesome ideas! Thanks so much for sharing.

[@Karen3263]

❤❤❤

[@mzzzzzzday]

I use the slides from IMSE.

[@SusanJonesTeaching]

Yes those slides are great!!

[@connierosero356]

What reading curriculum do you use?

[@l.j.9855]

Do you pay for Canva?

[@SusanJonesTeaching]

I do, yes!

[@bridgettquinlan3249]

I love these videos! You have such great ideas!

[@melaniefudge6204]

Amazing teacher!!

[@wendlit]

Happy 10yr anniversary 🎉 love your morning meeting routine and the maths tool kits👏❤️
