Your the type of teacher people remember fondly 20 years after HS graduation !

[@abubblyclassroom]

BEST COMPLIMENT EVER!!!! One could only dream! 🤍🤍🤍

[@bobbigravatt8555]

I loved Wonders! This school year our district is using CKLA for the first time. It is so, so different then Wonders from what we have seen.

[@abubblyclassroom]

I love Wonders too!!! I have never heard of CKLA - what is that???

[@marissabartels3072]

I loved CKLA and it was much easier to teach than what I see with wonders…

[@MonicaRodriguez-sx9rs]

I love your videos! Keep up the amazing positivity! It's aspiring as a future teacher to watch your videos!!

[@abubblyclassroom]

Thank you for watching!! YAY for joining the teaching world!!! I hope you love it! 😍🤍👏🏻

[@amandaM-l1z]

Such an awesome surprise! I adore your videos!

[@abubblyclassroom]

Thank you so much for being here!! 🤍🤍🤍

[@annetteweber1684]

Your positive energy is amazing! I am sure your teaching partners are so grateful to have your leadership. Our district uses Wonders and 95% phonics, also. Thanks for sharing your idea about 'setting the intention' with the Wonders stories and what standards are being assessed.

[@abubblyclassroom]

Thank you!!!! I feel so much better with Wonders going into year 2 - year 1 was a lot! 🤣 That is one of my new favorite things to do in PLCs after my admin suggested it. It has been so helpful for our whole team to sit and do that work together!

[@AlishaDailey-r1k]

I love your videos, they help me stay encourage to finish and become a teacher.

[@abubblyclassroom]

Oh my gosh I am so glad!!! It is the best job ever - I truly love it and I hope you do too!! 🤍

[@tiafreshour3307]

I’m a first year second grade teacher and we use Wonders. I’m completely overwhelmed. Could you share what you all have decided to keep from the Wonders routine? I want to teach what’s most important but there is A LOT in there.

[@abubblyclassroom]

It is definitely a lot! I try to follow this structure for the two weeks of each text set: Daily Lesson Structure: Day 1 (Monday): introduce genre, interactive read aloud, vocabulary focus, give out homework packet (text set assessment - there are two for each text set, so one per week) Day 2 (Tuesday): Companion story with read prompts/companion reading skill pages Day 3 (Wednesday): Read and correct homework together (the text set assessment) Day 4 (Thursday): Companion story with reread prompts/companion reading skill pages Day 5 (Friday): Introduce anchor text, preview story, begin reading Day 6 (Monday): Review genre, anchor text retell, make predictions, finish the story Day 7 (Tuesday): Retell story together in entirety, companion reading skill pages Day 8 (Wednesday): Read and correct homework together (the text set assessment - there are two for each text set, so one per week) Day 9 (Thursday): Partner read anchor text, complete paired selection together (in companion) Day 10 (Friday): Review vocabulary, Anchor text assessment

Thank you so much!@@abubblyclassroom

[@tamickawalker2412]

@@abubblyclassroom new to Wonders this year and had to come back to your videos from last year. Any updated advice you could share?

[@kristyguest8443]

Would you be able to share your slides and what you include in them? RIght now I use slides for my morning meeting, but am thinking I would like to expand to reading and other things.

[@abubblyclassroom]

These are the morning slides I use: bit.ly/3Z8s5Zj Then I bought this set of slides to use basically the rest of the day - I use the different colors for different subjects!: bit.ly/45PQJ3h Math: - 1-3 slides for number talks (I type the number talk problems onto the blank box, and I screenshot the number talks hand signals and added it to the side - 1 slide to tell them what to have out for our lesson that day. Sometimes it is their math book and a pencil, sometimes it is their math notebook and a pencil, sometimes it says to come sit on the carpet in their rows for the lesson, etc. - 1 slide for what they will do during independent math workshop time. I put two blank boxes: one for what they need to complete in order, and one for their choices when they are done. During this time I pull groups of kids to work with based on who struggled with the exit ticket (our daily math review) the day prior. - 1 slide to for when we wrap up and do our daily math review - 1 clean up slide Reading: - 1 slide to tell them what to have out for the lesson that day. Sometimes it is their Wonders workbook and a pencil, sometimes it is the Wonders anthology, sometimes it says to come sit on the carpet in their rows for the lesson, etc. - 2 slides for what they will do during independent reading workshop time. I meet with 2 reading groups a day, so the group I am meeting with is listed, as well as what the students are working on who aren't with me. - 1 clean up slide

[@andreabrown797]

Interested in where you got your vowel valley?

[@abubblyclassroom]

I got in on TPT! I love it!: bit.ly/469K7g5

[@Bmassie23]

I teach 1st grade. We just adopted Wonders, but we are not using the phonics part. We are replacing that with UFLI. I am trying to wrap my head around how I am going to structure my reading block. Please help!

[@abubblyclassroom]

We don't do the phonics either! The first year was TOUGH figuring it all out. I keep it to a 12-15 min. mini-lesson following this sequence: Day 1: genre, essential question, interactive read aloud, vocab Day 2: shared read (workbook story) focusing on 1-2 skills Day 3: Read and correct homework together (i assign one of the progress monitoring passages with questions each week) Day 4: respond to reading page (in the workbook) with the shared read (workbook story) Day 5: start the anchor text (textbook story) Day 6: finish the anchor text (textbook story) Day 7: Respond to reading page (in the workbook) with the anchor text (textbook story) Day 8: Read and correct homework together Day 9: Go back through anchor text and look at vocabulary in context. Students complete the anchor text test as a classwork grade Day 10: paired selection
