Kindergarten Number Talks and Teacher Vlog

[@BridgingLiteracy]

Who enjoyed a little Kindergarten talk? I know I miss it sometimes!

[@jina2342]

The Lettered Classroom keep up the good work I feel so inspired by your videos!

The Lettered Classroom Kindergarten was super fun I really enjoyed play time. Also that robot looks pretty kool.

[@fapiojosef3377]

The Lettered Classroom hi I love your KZbin can you move the desk

[@KyleThain]

I did! Thanks for talking kindergarten for a bit :)

I teach kindergarten and loved your lesson on Number Talks. I have the book and have been to some trainings, but it helps to SEE what it should look like. You had said that you had the Dot Pattern Pages in your store, but I can't find them anywhere. What am I overlooking?

[@KyleThain]

Using dot cards for kindergarten number talks is exactly what I do and my kids love it. Right now I am trying to get them to say "I know it was 3 because I saw 2 and 1 more. And I know that 2+1=3." It can also be powerful to flash the cards more quickly from time to time. Thanks for sharing!

[@KelHkelathome]

I love that you are willing to change what you do to find what works. One of my favorite quotes is "If a child can't learn the way we teach, maybe we should teach the way they learn" You do this so amazingly well. I have taught Preschool and now have a home daycare (adding preschool) I love to continually change to meet my littles needs. I have learned so much from you and I love to try and incorporate what you are doing to help me become a better provider/teacher. Thanks!!

I would love more on Kindergarten!!! This was so helpful as a new kindergarten teacher. Would love to see more center work!!

[@BridgingLiteracy]

+Lauren Kelly I'll pull some math centers to talk about 😉👍🏼

[@laurenkelly9070]

PS your style is adorable

[@teacherlife1344]

If you do a donors choose, you could also think about getting a Sphero as well to have another option for your kiddos. I have a sphero and I love it so much! It can do a lot!

[@BridgingLiteracy]

+Teacher Life thanks for sharing that! I really want to incorporate more student led learning and exploring with coding and technology. It's where our society is and it's important for them to understand how to use it!

[@frankstertheprankste]

I absolutely love watching your channel! I am an elementary education major in my 3rd year and will be student teaching in the fall. I learn so much from your videos and feel so much more prepared for the classroom. Thanks so much!

[@BundleOfBeauty03]

I really enjoyed the number talks lesson! Thanks! I would love to see more of that! I teach 1st so its a little similar to kindergarten.

[@flsweetpea21]

I loved hearing your tips for the primary grades! Thanks for sharing!

[@DaisyDays]

Thank you for sharing number talk with us. I can use it with my daughter who is in kindergarten

[@MichelleGayscienceteacher]

I am getting Dash and Dot for my classes! I can't wait to see the kids program them.

[@16Libe]

I teach first grade. I loved your lesson about number talk . I will try it with my first graders. I will make it about tens and ones!!! Thank you!!!

[@rosieleyva5835]

I just started implementing number talks in my third grade classroom 2 weeks ago. Would love to see more about number talks.

[@amberlily-qn1pl]

Loved it. Please do more for third grade.

[@brianna697]

"I look like a hot mess" *still looks fabulous* Also, since I'm doing fieldwork for my education course, I got placed with kindergarten and I observe while also interacting with the students. My cooperating teacher had me run the math skills table with four of her kids, and I had to use dots but they were chips with red and yellow on each side. I gave the kids different amounts of those chips and they shake it in a cup and flip it over to reveal how many chips landed on the red side and how many landed on the yellow. Then they added them up and started again. They were having too much fun with that :P I think your dots idea is really great as well. I'm not sure if my cooperating teacher did something like that more in the beginning of the year, but i think it'd be really useful ... I just don't want to cross the line by giving ideas if that makes sense ~~ Enjoy your weekend!

[@loladominguez4064]

I love your Kindergarten videos!!

[@jmexley]

Would you consider doing a vlog on Donors Choose since you said you were going to write one up for a Dash?

[@grisarfamily2112]

Thank you I needed these ideas

[@livetoDIG]

Love the math kindergarten talk! That's an area in my first year that I'm struggling with - we are doing Everyday Math. The timing of day is very hard for my littles to stay engaged! Any tips on how you created partnerships and/or how to teach being in partners? I have two students who need teacher guidance otherwise they wander the room and mess up the other children's games. I have found having a small group at my table works well - but then I'm not able to wander the room to help other pairs and also assess where the other kiddos are with the skill/coach or teach out in the "audience." Any advice? I love watching your Kinder videos - they truly encourage me & give great ideas! Hope the grade switch has been going well for you and your new home!!

[@BridgingLiteracy]

+Erin Harms I'll have to tie this in a video next week. There is so much that you could do to build these relationships. Like everything else they need to be taught how to work with partners. The biggest thing is to never assume.

[@leannachrisidis518]

I notice you've been wearing a new watch :-) Tell me more... Also, my district started talking about Number Talks so I really enjoyed this video and the ideas you've shared. You're amazing!!!!

[@BridgingLiteracy]

+Leanna Chrisidis yay! I'll do more on number talks next week. This was by far one of my favorite activities to do with my kids and the power of letting them do it with a partner was incredible! .... 😉 My hubby got it for Valentine's Day! 💕

[@leannachrisidis518]

yay! I teach little second graders and it's soooooo important to build strong number sense so I am always ready to try new things... Your hubby is the best and you deserve it! :)

[@thakorchaitali7636]

Hi Brigdet, I m a kindergarten principal frm India nd I also teach a group of 5yr olds. Ur videos hv been very helpful and they r so informative tht I actually wait for them to get uploaded. I have watched almost all ur videos nd hv been impressed by ur different teaching methods be it kindergarten or ur current 4th grade. I also liked the way u hv decorated ur classroom. I like the idea of PRIDE frames on at ur small group area. I would love if u could send a link where u hv explained PRIDE in ur previous video. It would be grt if u could do tht. Waiting for ur reply.

[@luciepapia4207]

Can you tell me where I could buy the easel that is behind you? I love it!

[@BridgingLiteracy]

+Lucie Papia ...Unfortunately, I have no idea. It was a hallway find 😳. I just got lucky and scooped it up before it was taken to school storage.

[@silverose1209]

I am hoping to back into Pre-K after I finish my degree in December. Do you know of a book that goes into more details on number talks, that could be adaptable to Pre-K?

[@lomabrooks1070]

I feel like you are wearing yourself out.... I love your channel, just don't burn yourself out!

[@BridgingLiteracy]

+Loma Brooks awwww.... thanks but since I've let go with sit down videos and have been trying to plan out my vlogs to have specific topics it's help me not be as stressed. Thanks for looking out for me 😘

[@MissTierraney]

I did a number talks video on my channel a couple weeks ago. Interesting how the technique you used in kinder is different from upper elementary.

[@moiraonthemap4253]

I have done what we call "math talks" just like you described with my kinders. The only thing is I always feel awkward at the end...I am just like "Ok that's it". How do you usually end yours?

[@lauralou2605]

moiraonthemap I try to use transition sentence to end. For example "Now that we've sharpened our math brains, we are going to use this info to do our math lesson" something like that.

[@BridgingLiteracy]

+moiraonthemap I always connect the learning to a learning target. I introduce the talks at the beginning of the number talk and have the students reflect back on the target and share their learning with a partner. We also talk about how we can use our learning in our work for the day.

[@analuavl9]

Great video! Thanks for sharing all of the ideas! I have a question... hehe what is that thing on your neck? Have a great day!

[@BridgingLiteracy]

+analu alvarez thank you! 😅Its a headphone that I use in the morning to listen to my audiobook.

[@LemuDayiChannel]

Can you do more Kinder videos, please.

[@ashlynscott5676]

Okay I comment on your videos all the time and you always reply back your the most caring KZbinr I know thank you so much!💖💖💖💖💖
