Teaching, Observations and Anticipation

[@chopstickstomasonjars8127]

Did you ever do a part 2 video for your visit to RCA? I didn't see it and was wondering which houses you and your cousin chose.

[@BridgingLiteracy]

+jessica Caldwell ...it will be up on Tuesday. But I share my house in this video 🤗

[@drofnnyl]

Yayyy!! I can't wait!

[@amandafowler1165]

I think you are looping up with your kids! Great vlog!

[@stephaniesteele5183]

The different colored bells are to help young students learn how to play handbells. :) so the different notes are different colors. I think my church has all of those instruments. That's awesome that you found those and I love the ways you have to use those! :)

[@POLYBEBE]

I love how motivated you are. I'm a science high school teacher in Puerto Rico, and although I don't teach small children, some of your ideas are great for all grades! Love watching your videos! Thinking of incorporating choice classroom to mine!!

[@zelmaa5736]

If people are right, and you are looping, I hope you love it as much as I do. I've done it a number of times and it makes the start of the year SO much smoother. You lose very little time "settling" in as the children just need a quick revision of the routines and expectations. Can't wait to hear about your good news.

[@annieb1174]

Lol you cracked me up at 6:58ish. You were talking a million miles an hour!!!

[@BridgingLiteracy]

+Annie B I told you I had energy! 😂

[@kerstintaugher1793]

Annie B me

[@viksm9379]

I'm not quite sure how I came across your channel... but I'm so glad that I did!! 🎉

[@arshiaarsh55]

your vlogs are now part of my life :)

[@BridgingLiteracy]

+arshi - Yay! Welcome!

[@mgjv90278]

Love your text dependent analysis booklet! Is there any way you can sell an editable template so we can insert our own passages?

[@tiffanyskillern-hodge2048]

I agree. Would love to see the text dependent analysis book on her TPT store if it isn't there already :)

[@laideekim]

Yesssss please!!!!!

[@teachlearnlife2014]

YES!!! I was just thinking this myself. I have tried to do this several times and it's just not working for me!! Please... this would be amazing!!!

[@DanceGirl132]

We did an activity with instruments similar to what you were talking about in one of my college classes last semester. Super fun and great for listening! Even for college students. :)

[@AlysFaves]

Would love to see the close read poster/ anchor chart you created behind you.

[@evangelia23]

Where did you get that penguin shirt from? I LOVE it!

[@BridgingLiteracy]

Eva K. I bought it from Anthropology years ago. I secretly want to be a Miss. Frizzle

[@tracymart4304]

You're amazing! we do RACER. so helpful. The final R is restating again.

[@georgejones2891]

When are we going to find out ? So excited

[@georgejones2891]

And are there any hints really wanna know ?

[@Fwiffy_]

I cant wait to find out! You are such a big inspiration!!! I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS

[@candybardimples8811]

I believe you are looping!!

[@jojo2590]

Ooooh I think so also!

[@rashaedagoodwin9893]

Candy Bardimples, I was thinking the same thing.

[@forgottenrobot]

I agree with everyone else that's guessing that you are looping. If so, that's very exciting! I won't know until May probably, but I think I'm going to get to loop with my 7th graders.

[@lauraevelynashley]

I wish it was next week already!

[@itssavannahariel]

You are a really big inspiration to me

[@BridgingLiteracy]

+JustSimplySavannah !!!! 😘this channel is nothing without you!

[@rachele1560]

can you do a video on data binders for your 3rd grade?

[@roderickwoodard1415]

Thank you so much for this video!! You may not know this but you are helping me so much as I begin the stages of preparing for my teacher certification exams! 😀

[@BridgingLiteracy]

+Roderick Woodard yahoo!!!!!! You will do great 😉👍🏼

[@roderickwoodard1415]

Thank you! What advice do you have for prospective teachers preparing for state teacher certification exams?

[@BridgingLiteracy]

+Roderick Woodard organize the information you have in your exams. For instance we have pedagogy, language arts, math, science... from there spend about a week studying for 30minutes or more depending on your learning style. Take the practice test a few times. Take one before studying, mid and end and see if you have made any growth. Try not to look at the test the week before. It's stressful enough. Hope this helps! This is how I planned my test out 👍🏼

[@roderickwoodard1415]

Thank you!! This totally helps. I have taken this portion (science) of the Elementary Education exam in Florida 4 times and I feel confident in taking it this time due to what I have learned throughout my Master's program.

[@FLY2011naturally]

moving up with your kiddos? that would be super awesome!

[@lovekkids]

Perfect thank you !

[@thenomadiceducator745]

You're looping and moving to a new building?! 😀

[@lovekkids]

Hello, Bridget, Can I ask if you have the text dependent analysis booklet available in your tpt store?

[@BridgingLiteracy]

+Sandy Martinez - I can't sell it because it has some passages that are not mine. However, you might want to keep an eye out for the next newsletter. 😉

[@analuavl9]

Can't wait 😊

[@thatcrohnslife]

Can't wait to find out what's happening..

[@zelmaa5736]

Just had to say that when you put your hand up quickly to cover the camera lense I feel as though you are slapping me and it often makes me jump. I haven't heard anyone else say anything about it so it is probably just an anomaly with me (I can be weird like that) but I've been putting off saying anything for a while and I figured it wouldn't hurt mentioning it. I absolutely love your videos and will definitely not stop watching - I learn too much from you. :)

[@diannaq5762]

OMG what is the surprise??

[@MichelleGayscienceteacher]

You are looping!

[@natalie3104]

Oh no!!! Why are you packing up your room?! 😟 but it's so pretty!!

[@BridgingLiteracy]

+Natalie - 😍 I'm going to miss it...maybe. I can't wait to share. It's so exciting!!!!

[@BridgingLiteracy]

+Natalie I know!!! It's crazy, but what is in store is worth every bit of it.

[@natalie3104]

The Lettered Classroom I can't wait to hear about it!! 🤗 so much anticipation!

[@jojo2590]

omg!!! The suspense is killing me!!

[@ljturner6283]

What grade do you teach??

[@Mana98ify]

Are you taking an out of the classroom position?

[@theoryoferin]

do you find that your admin doesn't give you TRUE feedback, regardless of sticking to your teaching practices? i'm finding more and more that unless i really screw up on the formal half, i'm always going to be ranked higher on that than the informal, even if the informal lesson is significantly stronger / uses the elements much more. i've been told that's just how it is because everyone wants to show growth, but it's frustrating to me and all seems so faked.

[@CaraCOwl3]

Question what state are you in that you have what ever that test was called? Also I don't want to be rude but my Boces teacher always told us not to call children kids because they are not goats so yeah I don't know . It's kinda a bit of a pet peeve for me now so yeah but if you continue to do it it's ok 😊

[@christopheradams8996]

I know your chance. grades I don't know what grade but I know your chancing grades
